I am still a little new here so perhaps I am missing something. But it seems the latest image for the BU40N is the MK folder is 1.04, specifically "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142". I am not finding a 1.03 image, is this correct?Billycar11 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:16 pmIf you have 1.00 leave it but I recommend 1.03 for most people because it is a simple 1 step flash and done less risk of bricking the drive 1.00 vs 1.03 in makemkv there is no difference the only advantage of 1.00 is comparability with other rippers

I've got a WH16NS40 running original/unpatched 1.02, and am considering reflashing it to WH16NS60 1.02MK per page 1 of this guide. However, I'm caught up on the third "IMPORTANT Before you flash" step:I can't figure out what this means. Can someone explain it?Code: Select all

The second bit is not true. You can do what Billy suggests or you can do exactly the same as with the encrypted firmwares but without the "enc".Coopervid wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 6:15 pmBilly,
if I now understand the statement right on page 1:
Newer encrypted firmwares must be flashed with the appropriate firmware using the same firmware revision level flashing with the enc box checked.
What I didn't understand - but it seems so (please confirm!) - latest versions before encryption was implemented MUST be flashed FIRST with either ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10MK or LG WH16NS60 1.02MK before any other drive specific other firmware can be flashed. If so - please update your guide to make this a MANDATORY for flashing.
Not exactly but they need the newer downgrade enable checks disabled so that's WH16NS60 1.02 WH16/14NS40 1.04 and asus 3.10. all those mk firmwares have the additional downgrade checks disabled. That guy we were trying to help was trying to flash WH16NS40 1.03mk and that's never going to work
Again not exactly but it make it easy to flash to WH16NS60 1.02mk or Asus 3.10mk as it will work for every downgrade type or even an upgrade flash. sure it won't work for anydvd but most people use makemkv who read this guide. And it is only 1 flash less chance for something to go wrong.Coopervid wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 6:15 pmWhat I didn't understand - but it seems so (please confirm!) - latest versions before encryption was implemented MUST be flashed FIRST with either ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10MK or LG WH16NS60 1.02MK before any other drive specific other firmware can be flashed.
