Hi Coopervid, I'm assuming it's because I just registered yesterday, but I'm not seeing an option to respond to your PM.

Can you tell me how the flasher works? Is it physical or software? Sorry if this is a noob question; this is all very new to me.

[Coopervid]

Software. Check PM.

It seems to have worked, thank you! I'm ripping a 4k disk now, so we'll see how it turns out.

Hello, I actually picked up this same drive yesterday and it has the same firmware. What was the solution to make it work? Thanks!

Hello everyone here,
just as the others here I too recently picked up a BDR-XS07TS recently and would like to know how to get it up to UHD.
I'm aware of Billycar11's Auto flash kit for 25, but it sounds here like there might be another way too.
Just like hydra I can not yet send PMs.

Where did you guys buy your drives from? I just purchased one from BH Photo and unfortunately it has 1.03.

Apparently I can't even answer to PMs yet, so big thanks here to Coopervid, flash worked without a problem with FW 1.01

Hello Coopervid,
could you please send me the instructions to downgrade the XS07U to a libredrive firmware ?

Hello Coopervid,
I also picked up one of these drives recently. Mine is on firmware 1.00.
Can you also PM me with the instructions?
