Hello Coopervid,

I just received the following drive:

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-212V
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: DGDL027890WL
Firmware date: 2022-05-31
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 76

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID06

I have seen very similar drive information posted by others in this thread. Given your responses to them it appears as if this drive can be flashed to read UHD disks.

I also recently acquired a Pioneer BDR-212DBK drive a few weeks ago. You gave me the flasher and firmware for flashing that drive. (Thanks again. That drive works perfectly!)

The pre-flash BDR-212DBK drive info was:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-212D
Revision: 1.02
Firmware Date: 2022-03-16

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8F00
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-212T
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.02/ID61

Just to be sure, can my new BDR-212V drive be flashed? If so, should the BDR-212V drive be flashed using the same flasher and firmware as the BDR-212-DBK drive? If not, would you please PM me with the right stuff again?

As always, I'm very grateful for all of the guidance and help you are willing to provide!
Yes. Go ahead.
