After reading all the posts here, I'm pretty sure that I can also read UHD/4K discs with this drive (currently not possible).
Can anyone give me a tip/hint on what exactly I need to do/which tool I need to use for flashing?

It's exactly the same drive as mentioned above, the firmware is from 2018, so well before December 2022.
The operating system is Windows.

Thank you for your help, which I greatly appreciate.

I have a similar one. Can someone PM me a hint how to make it UHD friendly? I am on MacOS. I can work with the command line stuff but unsure about what firmware to update it with / how. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
