If that's the case, then you are not following the instructions correctly.Kevin_28 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 2:48 amUnfortunately, no.

Does MakeMKV show the drive on BP50NB40 1.03 or BU40N 1.00?
Cheers

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Marty's instructions are clear and he even includes an animation. It looks like you did the first step of writing the BP50NB40_NB50_1.03_MK binary but messed up the recovery step.
When you select "Recovery" a file selector dialog opens and you need to choose the BP50NB40_NB50_1.03_MK.bin binary again. Then, in the "Write" file selector dialog choose the BU40N_1.00.bin file. After you run this last step, your drive will appear to be a BU40N in Windows and MakeMKV.

I did follow that animation when I started and selected BP50NB40 1.03 mk first then the BU40N on the recovery. No dice. It's OK. I'll try some other things and worst case I can always just purchase one. Not a big deal. Thanks for your help! I greatly appreciate it.jinx100 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 12:51 amMarty's instructions are clear and he even includes an animation.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Hello, I've been working on this on and off for the past 3 week. I have a WP50NB40 drive with revision 1.03. When I run the flasher it says complete, but the reported firmware never seems to change. What should I be doing differently?
Something that I thought was a little curious was that the reported firmware date in MakeMKV is set for 2121-07-08 16:09. I don't know if this has anything to do with my efforts, but I at least thought it was an interesting date.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
I've followed everything there, treating WP as BP. When I followed the steps, the firmware version never changed. I've done it twice to see if I missed something the first time, but nothing changed.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 12:54 amFollow the instructions in the first post of this thread.

Re: SDFtool Flasher
You need to be more specific. Which drive and what type of connection are you using?

I'm running into a tiny bug when starting the flasher GUI when I have disc drives present without an assigned drive letter.
This happens when I mount and then eject an iso file with Windows 10's built-in handler, which keeps Microsoft's virtual drive in the background after unmounting. Rebooting usually fixes this one.
The error can also come up when I manually unassign drive letters in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Don't run the tool when messing with drive letters. When mounting/unnmounting ISO's also make sure the tool is not open. Close it until your drive letters are sorted then reopen it.segfaulted wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 4:35 am@MartyMcNuts

Re: SDFtool Flasher
I just got my LG WP50NB40 and I was wondering if this is the correct step to cross flash to DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin
1) WRITE FIRMWARE DE_LG_WP50NB40-NB50_1.03_MK.bin
2) RECOVER FIRMWARE DE_LG_WP50NB40-NB50_1.03_MK.bin
3) WRITE FIRMWARE DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin
I tried doing the following steps as instructed by someone else in another post but my player wont pick up my "The Martian" UHD disc. I hope I didn't f' up my new drive. Please help!

Re: SDFtool Flasher
If you're doing WRITE again to do a cross-flash, that probably won't work. In other words, your steps #2 and 3 look a bit off.ryanb0517 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 10:49 pmI just got my LG WP50NB40 and I was wondering if this is the correct step to cross flash to DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin

Use RECOVER mode. You'll point it to the current firmware file, which might be DE_LG_WP50NB40-NB50_1.03_MK.bin if UHD discs haven't worked in your drive. Then you can select the firmware that you want to flash, choose DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin
The drive's LED light should blink during the flashing process if you did it correctly. If it doesn't blink, the drive is ignoring the reflash.
You can check the drive info in MakeMKV to see if the reflash worked or not. The "Product" and "Revision" should match the firmware ID.
