Re: SDFtool Flasher
I flashed my BW-16D1HT but now my PC won't boot with it plugged in. Have I bricked my drive?

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Thank you for putting this tool together.
I flashed my Asus BW-16D1HT 16x Blu-ray Writer with DE_ASUS_BW-16D1HT_3.10_MK.bin from the All You Need Firmware Pack (MartyMcNuts).zip using SDFtool Flasher (v1.3.5); both from the links in the first post.
At the end of the flashing process I got the error message "Command produced error code 0x82062900". (I tried to include an attachment but I don't think it will work.) However after I reran the MakeMKV.exe file, it appears to show that the drive has successfully been updated. I am also now able to play a 4k / UHD movie; previously that did not work, Windows would not even read the disc.
Should I be concerned about the error?
Thank you.
For anyone wondering, my Asus BW-16D1HT was from 2021, and other than the above the software provided here still works. I have only played one UHD movie so far; VLC (previously installed) automatically started up and played. I have no need to copy movies so I can't comment about that.

HI there. I'm trying to flash my drive connected on my Mac, using a WIn 11x64 vm in Parallels. Here's some info:
But the GUI tool does not start doing anything after selecting the drive and the bin file. The sdftool errors out:

It's possible but the passthrough options are different for each vm software the simplest way would to through the whole USB controller not just the port or the drive that would work but don't think Parallels let's you do that

Parallels does not provide such a passthrough, as you mentioned.
I installed BootCamp, and then Win10. With that, I was able to flash the drive.
One hiccup I overcame. The LG drive was not selectable unless a disc was inserted. With the disc inserted, I was able to select it, then eject the disc, and the flash tool was able to do its work.
Thanks again for your help and flasher. First 4K UHD rip complete within macOS on my iMac (which next week will be relegated to playing second fiddle -- mostly for the Intel VMs I require -- to a new M2 Mac Studio Ultra).
Re: SDFtool Flasher
Hello, I just purchased a LG internal 5.25" blu-ray drive model WH16NS40 (to be installed in a 5,1 macpro)
I would like to update the firmware in order to rip my UHD disks
I am using a Mac so using the terminal command, I got the following info : HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS40_1.05_212005061440_KLMN46F4254
If I understand correctly, the original firmware is version 1.05 Will I be able to use the terminal command to flash this drive to the suggested firmware?
WH16NS40 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK
I'm afraid that the original firmware version number of the drive (1.05) is newer than the MK firmware (1.02)
I'd like to check before I risk "breaking" my Blu-ray drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much

Re: SDFtool Flasher
BBCode isn't allowing me to use any formatting tools, so this will look like crap...sorry.
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED
TL;DR: if you !@#$ things up using the MacOS way, get ahold of a windoze box and use the GUI firmware do it all program.
I re-flashed directly to the "MK" firmware for the LG BP60NB10 drive using the GUI program:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/rak1mk0p ... 9.zip/file
and got the firmware .bin image (the one with "BP60" and "MK" in its name) from The all you need firmware pack:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ph1ap2eg ... 9.zip/file
and it just worked! I moved the drive back to my Mac and it's ripping as I always expected it to!
Thank you to everyone who made this possible! <3
I started down this road because when trying to rip a new UHD blu-ray with this new LG BP60NB10 I keep getting:
Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive
and then 99.9% hashcheck failures, resulting in ts files that will not play. This is still the case, even after all of the following took place.
I may have broken my firmware. I wrote DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.00_MK_HBD.bin
to it "successfully" once, but never again.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
I'm trying to flash a BU40N from 1.02 to 1.03MK using the tool, but I keep getting 'Command produced error code 0xff05c103'.
Could anyone advise what I'm doing wrong? I've upgraded a few of these drives successfully in the past, but not for a while.
Any advice much appreciated.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
If the drive has NOT been flashed before use "enc" (encrypted firmware). If you have it flashed already to 1.02 and you want now to flash 1.03 don't use "enc".kingston12 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2023 10:52 amI'm trying to flash a BU40N from 1.02 to 1.03MK using the tool, but I keep getting 'Command produced error code 0xff05c103'.
