Start updating the firmware from scratch. Requesting assistance. Thank you.

Post by Tuowang »

Hi, I'm Tuowang from Hong Kong. I'm very glad to join this forum. Thank you for the administrator's approval.
I have been involved with ODD for over a decade. Starting from the early days with Panasonic, Sony, TEAC, and continuing to the present with LG, ASUS, Pioneer, etc., I have been exposed to all of their series of recorders.

But recently I have encountered some difficulties. Many models have been discontinued, yet I still want to make full use of them.

Could you please tell me how to update the firmware from scratch?

I have many products in my hands. If you don't want them, please leave a message for me. Thank you.

there not really much fw development going on for CD drives
and from what i can see they are very old from 1999

so theirs really not much flashing to do to those
for modern UHD drives see the guide below

OK. Thank you: Billycar1

I will upload some photos of the new HUB and Blu-ray drives. If you are willing, at an appropriate time, you can teach me how to flash the firmware.

Of course, I understand that this will take up your valuable time. I am willing to pay for it because I have many similar drives.

I just can't help it. I just talked to a drive seller (hopefully not scammer) on the China second-hand app and he also thought UHD BD is called HUB.

The drives shown can't be flashed for UHD. Forget it.
