It probably did have a blu ray disc in it, I can try again if this drive fails and I have to buy another one. What I ended up doing is paying $25 to billycar. he did great work making the 3.10 firmware to flash on my drive, he's fast tood00zah wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 1:51 pmIF this post is any indication, remove the disc from your drive.

I tried to flash it to 3.10 MK but it gives the error code 0xff056103, I cannot find any answers on here and I am completely lost. I am using the newest SDFtool flasher 1.3.5, there is no ENC checkbox, what do I do? also READ does not work on this drive, it is only able to dump the user files which is worthless

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Hello everyone!
I am looking for a new blu-ray burner.
My previous model (a Pioneer from several years ago) suddenly 'died' despite very little use.
Despite having read several posts here on the forum, it's not clear to me which model to choose.
I'm interested in a 5.25 internal drive that is of decent quality in both read and write and that is as durable as possible.
LG models appear often, but I understand that they have reliability problems. I ask: is this the case for all models, or can some be considered?
I see that the BP50NB40 is often recommended, but is it really preferable to a 5.25 model?
Thank you to anyone who wants to answer me.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Hello. Having a hard time understanding the main page. I am looking to get a drive for UHD and the bottom section from what I understand seems compatible out of the box. The top section looks like we have to follow a update process to flash them correctly. Needing an external drive and the BP60NB10 doesn't seem like a bad price. Is it still currently flashable or are some of these now shipping with encrypted firmware preventing it?

all LGs on the list are still flashable pioneers are not but a solution is coming for the pioneers soon.
if you want out of of the box solution dont forget some of us sell them preflash and tested as a real out of the box solution we still even have pioneers available flashed.

Hello! I just joined this sub, apologies if I've missed an existing answer to my question. I have an LG BP50NB40, manufactured in 2020. The SVC code is NB50, is this flashable? Thanks much!

Recommended Firmware to flash for MakeMKV:
BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK
2020 is likely encrypted so 1st flash would require 'enc'
From Windows, use SDFtool Flasher, or use CLI (examples in 1st post)
Get BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK FW from here
Get subsequent BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK FW from here

Hi, everyone. I'm just wondering if anyone might be able to help. I followed the flash steps for MacOS and I can't seem to get it to work. (I have the LG wh14ns40 in an OWC Mercury Pro)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
I'm running MacOS Monterey, and I just got a BP60NB10 drive I want to flash. I've followed the instructions provided, but I'm running into a problem.
When I run the following command:
I get the following output:
If I insert a disc into the driveI get the following input:
In the instructions, there's an additional drive identifier listed before the drive:
As you can see above, I don't get any sort of equivalent identifier (like /IOBDServices/D5D25996) when I run the command, so I'm at a loss as to what should go in that spot.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
worse it cant be flashed currently by the public so if the fw is after 12/2022 you cant rip uhd with it.
for now pioneers you must buy from a flasher like me marty or asmcom we can flash pioneers.
