Revision: BN14
From
this post the LG_BU40N_1.03_MK
should work. But, I'm curious how anybody would know for sure. There are no
firmware files that have an obviously matching filename.
Look at the list of encrypted firmwares from the flashing guide :
"HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-BN14"
That's probably how people know.
Also, I happen to own one of these drives and I successfully flashed DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK onto it. However, because I am using it with both MakeMKV on Linux and DVDFab on Windows, I then flashed it to the original 1.00 version of the BU40N firmware in Marty's pack (doing this seems to make your drive compatible with both Linux and DVDFab on Windows).
NOTE : You shouldn't attempt to flash 1.00 directly. If you wish to proceed as I did, flash DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK with encryption from the All You Need Firmware Pack, then flash DE_LG_BU40N_1.00 without encryption from that same pack. (No need to do a rawflash full or Recover or bootloader flash or anything like that, if you're using the command line a rawflash main,enc,slim for 1.03MK then a rawflash main,slim for 1.00 should do the trick.)
If you wish to flash on Linux, you will likely need to use version 1.17.7 (the last known compatible version for flashing I believe) or version 1.17.6 (the last known stable build IIRC?) of MakeMKV (flashing appears to be broken on Linux with the more recent versions of MakeMKV). Just to clarify, I have had virtually no issues with using more recent versions of MakeMKV on Linux for non-flashing endeavors (such as dumping discs).
