Hi guys,

I'm a DVDFab user.

I want to crossflash my existing Pioneer BDR-209M to a BDR-S11JBK to make it UHD capable/friendly. I found a post where someone of you said he would own 4 drives and all of them have been crossflashed to a BDR-S11 successfully. My question is how to do that? I can't find the neccessary bin file anywhere on the internet. Could someone please help or provide the neccessary file to me?

My drive is Libre enabled (please check the attached Info file of my drive)

Is it possible to flash with SDFtool flasher or do I need BDR flash?

Someone here says one would need 2 files. A kernel file and another one...
https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/showpost.php?p ... tcount=780

So I'm a bit confused. Can someone please assist?

Thank you in advance

1. DVDFab isn't UHD compatible with Pioneer drives.
2. The Pioneer flasher isn't public but you can email Billycar11 the MakeMKV drive info/libredrive info sections and purchase a flasher from him.
Cheers :D

Yes as Marty said pioneers don't work with dvdfab for UHD

But I can flash your drive for you see below

Hello! Would it be possible to get the firmware to flash Gen 1 and Gen 2 S11JBKs? I was able to get the respective 211M firmwares from the other forum and flashed my S11s, but if at all possible I'd like to have S11 firmware on my S11s, and if I could flash my S09 XLBs to be S11s, the firmware to do those as well.

Thank you for your time, and all that you do for the community!

You need to post your Makemkv info for the drives you want to flash.

Thanks for the reply.

I have a question. My drive platform is Pioneer RS8F00, and in the folder I got Hardware Version: SAT 8F01.

Can I flash it safely?
