Re: LG BP55EB40 - flash issue

Check the date of the firmware. Only drives with firmware after late 2015 can be flashed for UHD.
Does that mean, if the BP55EB40 has SVC EB40 and has firmware after late 2015, it can be crossflashed for UHD compatiblity, otherwise not. Right?

Thanks!

Enclosure or Adapter for 9,5 mm ODD that fits to 12,7 mm Slot

Hi!

I have a Desktop Tower Chassis (a little bit old but still working) that has a 12,7 mm slot for ODD. But newer ODDs have 9,5 mm thickness.

I want to mount my 9,5 mm ODD into the 12,7 mm slot.

Is there an enclosure or adapter available? I can't find any... sorry

Thanks!

Regards
Johannu

@Billycar11: Mhh... it seems I did ask the wrong question or I did not understand your answer...

Does the firmware 1.00 or 1.03 MK prevent updating the host revocation list of the drive when inserting Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray? Yes it does or no it doesn't?

Thank's!

Re: Verbatim 43888 / BU40N 1.05 - UHD “host cert revoked” - Windows 11 rollback to 1.03?

Got a new BU40N 1.05. This drive is stated to be a real UHD drive. That means that this drive has a host revocation list that is updated via MKB from Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray inserted in the drive. Does a firmware downgrade to 1.00 or 1.03 MK defeat the host revocation list or does it remain updating...
