Re: SDFtool Flasher
Just used this tool to flash my encrypted 1.04 BU40N to 1.03 and it worked like a charm. Super fast and easy. Thanks guys! Saved me so much time and headache.
Re: SDFtool Flasher
Admittedly my situation is a bit odd. I am using Windows 11 ARM on an M1 Mac under Parallels.
I haven't yet received my BW-16D1HT yet, but I thought I'd get ready. When I attempt to start the SDF tool, I get an exception:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Anyway, to have any chance of it working, you must have MakeMKV installed in windows at the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV).
The GUI may look a bit deformed if you are using a 4K monitor. You can right click the exe and select properties. In the compatibility tab, click "Change high DPI settings" then under "High DPI scaling override" tick the box and select "System (Enhanced)" in the dropbox.
Cheers

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Ah, I wasn’t running it from the right place.
In the meantime, I did the flashing on the (Mac) host with the makemkv command line, so I’m good.![🙂](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f642.svg)

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Hi there,
I have had a successfully flashed BU40N drive for some time. I can write UHDs and can play them through DVDFab. However, I do have a small issue, that might not be an issue to some. I have installed the following;
Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: xx
Firmware date: 2116-12-20 15:28
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 72
LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
No disc inserted
My question is, does anyone else find these drives extremely loud? I am of course not objecting to this while writing UHD discs, however, whenever I am playing blu-rays and especially UHD blu-rays, the noise is a distraction for me.
Is there any way to change the read speed for playback only with these drives? or will I have to look at other firmware revisions? I don't want to rock the boat with potentially losing any playback abilities, but if this is a simple fix I would like to know what that is.
Thanks a lot for your work here.

Serial number: xx
Firmware date: 2116-12-20 15:28
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 72
LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
No disc inserted
My question is, does anyone else find these drives extremely loud? I am of course not objecting to this while writing UHD discs, however, whenever I am playing blu-rays and especially UHD blu-rays, the noise is a distraction for me.
Is there any way to change the read speed for playback only with these drives? or will I have to look at other firmware revisions? I don't want to rock the boat with potentially losing any playback abilities, but if this is a simple fix I would like to know what that is.
Thanks a lot for your work here.
Re: SDFtool Flasher
Not tried the tool yet but the current one has some styling issues on high DPI screens, just wanted to pass that along:

Not sure how to get to the checkboxes on the left to select 'encrypted' etc

I missed seeing this until after my post, yes, that seems to help a lotMartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:09 pm
The GUI may look a bit deformed if you are using a 4K monitor. You can right click the exe and select properties. In the compatibility tab, click "Change high DPI settings" then under "High DPI scaling override" tick the box and select "System (Enhanced)" in the dropbox.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
It looks like you flashed your drive successfully? Now try to rip an UHD.

I'm getting this message when I try to flash my ASUS BW-16D1HT. What is this "MT1959"?

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Your drive was manufactured in 2013 & HW ("MT1939") is too old to support UHD/the FW you are trying to flash. "MT1959" HW started showing up ~Oct 2015.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Awesome! I'm glad that someone finally posted the pics of what happens when trying to flash an old drive. Hopefully now people might actually check these things before attempting to flash, although it's good to see that the SDFtool Flasher will stop them if they try!!
Cheers

Re: SDFtool Flasher
@Coopervid, Nah, he's only on BP50NB40 1.03-MK, which isn't UHD capable.
@1337_Nerd, Did you follow the steps exactly? If so and step 3 is the issue, can you please try this for step 3.
3. Flash firmware BP60NB10_1.00_MK_HBD. (If you don't already have the hybrid firmware, here is the link: download/file.php?id=2143
If that doesn't work, try the below:
3. Check the box to include the boot loader and flash firmware BP60NB10 1.00-MK.
Let us know how you go and I'll edit the steps.
Cheers

Re: SDFtool Flasher
I followed the steps exactly. I believe step 3 was the issue as the others seemed to change the drive information afterwards. I attempted both of the steps you recommended, flashing the firmware file from the link you sent as well as flashing the firmware and bootloader of the standard BP60NB10 file. Neither of those produced any results. It goes through the process and says it finished successfully, but does not show any changes when I pull up makemkv.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Ok, thanks for the update. You might just have to hold off for a few days or so until we get a resolution for this.1337_Nerd wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 12:02 amI followed the steps exactly.
