It is possible to flash that drive yes. I don't know your skill set well enough to comment on your ability to flash it yourself but I'm thinking you have what it takes! Just remember if you're in doubt to ask!

It's working thanks
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
I hope this is the right place.
I'm trying to enable Libre Drive, and from what I understand from "What is LibreDrive" thread, it should enable itself automatically, but I have this drive info when I open MakeMKV:
I'm on Linux Mint, if that matters.
Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
updated guide with new instructions for WH16NS60 1.03 encrypted firmware
Thanks to mike for figuring it all out: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22499
New Encrypted firmware
WH16NS60 1.03 and probably others soon,
for these firmwares you must flash an encrypted firmware image with ONLY the makemkv flasher in FULL mode.
link to encrypted firmware: download/file.php?id=2812 WH16NS60 1.03 ONLY

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
So, I messed up and let my NS50 BH16NS40 get updated to firmware 1.05, how screwed am I? When I try to load 1.04 MK I get an Updating Failure #5.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
Just wait a few days for 1.05 MK to be released. . If you really can't wait, you can cross-flash to NS60 1.02 using encrypted MK fw and then then cross-flash back to 1.04 . The details and encrypted 1.02MK are in a sibling topic.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
Oh hell. Someone needs to post a damn warning somewhere. DO NOT UPGRADE FIRMWARE! This new crap sucks.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
I thought that warning goes without saying.

One quick glance on this forum shows that no, it does NOT go without saying. At all. People have this "newer is better" mentality.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2020
I thought it was the "everything is, or should be, free" mentality that's what I run into a lot

And that same quick glance will show that no matter how many times it is written, some will just take a pass on reading it.

I'm aware but if you don't put up the no trespassing signs, people use it as an excuse to f*** up their s***. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
