Guide to flash new LG WH16NS60?

Post by boolian2 »

I just got a LG WH16NS60, is there a guide out there to flash it with the old firmware, and also LibreDrive? Are those 2 separate things? I'm using an OWC Mercury Pro external optical drive enclosure to connect the LG to my computer. Thanks

Does the LG Flasher flash both the correct firmware and LibreDrive? Or is LibreDrive THE firmware?

Flashing the firmware will enable libredrive

I just flashed it with 1.02, it said operation successful. But in MakeMKV it still says the drive is 1.03.

EDIT: I was using command line before (unencrypted firmware command), I just used "SDF" GUI tool (said encrypted firmware) and MakeMKV now says 1.02. But what does "microcode access re-enabled" mean? Also, does 1.02 have the drive sleep bug? My old WH16NS60 is 1.00, should I also flash new drive with 1.00 instead of 1.02?

I used the 5.25 Desktop LG firmware from the "all you need" firmware pack on Google Drive link on your thread.

Thanks

Both are fine go to 1.00 if you use other rippers that are not makemkv or anydvd

What about DVDFab? Does 1.02 work with it

You're correct, 1.02 doesn't work with DVDFab. I just tried it. I will downgrade to 1.00.
