SDFtool Flasher

You can't dump the firmware on any platform. Only the calibration info.

You need to modify the options in VMWare to pass the drive through. Not only via the emulation. Can't remember how but just google it.

That did the trick. Thank you! I had added the drive the "wrong way" (via emulation). Following this article is what enabled it correctly.

I have a Asus BC-12D2HT that I flashed with the WH16NS60 1.02MK to get rid of the sleep bug. But I learned that the LG firmware has a feature called "jamless playback" that interferes with disc error recovery when using ddrescue on linux. I tried to flash back to the Asus BC-12D2HT 3.11MK firmware but it won't work.

Apparently this drive has issues with flashing.

Is there an alternative method to flash the Asus 3.11 MK firmware to the drive?

Try using the recover method. Select the current NS60 firmware in the popup window then choose the BC-12D2HT 3.11-MK firmware in the normal firmware slection drop down box.

If that doesn't work, youu could try using the old modified ASUS flasher.
