I flashed my LG WH16NS60 and it works fine with MakeMKV, but DVDFab Passkey complains the drive is not usable.
My ASUS BW-16D1HT works fine with both, but it's been so long since I flashed it I just can't remember if I used this forum for it or another one.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
If this is a new(ish) WH16NS40 (SVC: NS50) that came with 1.05, then you can use the recovery option in SDFtool Flasher.sapphire wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:01 pmHello,
I accidently flashed a Desktop to a Slim Drive. What do I do know? I've been trying to restore it to the way it was before for hours now, but with no success. Can anyone kindly help me please?
My Drive name is LG WH16NS40.
(My original intent was to downgrade my firmware, which was at 1.05 because my Blu-ray drive did not want to read my new Blu-ray discs that I bought at all, but I could easily rip them through Make MKV Software).
Thank you!
Sapphire.
Simply select the incorrect current firmware that is on the drive in the popup, then select the correct firmware to flash to the drive (recommend WH16NS60 1.02-MK).
Cheers

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
I tried doing that with the SDFtool Flasher by following your steps, with the WH16NS60 1.02-MK Firmware, multiple times, but with no luck. It continues to show me the incorrect Model on the Make MKV Source, and my drive won't open or close.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 11:48 pmIf this is a new(ish) WH16NS40 (SVC: NS50) that came with 1.05, then you can use the recovery option in SDFtool Flasher.sapphire wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:01 pmHello,

@sapphire
Did you make a previous firmware dump of your own unit?
If yes, you could try the sdftool command in order to reflash the full (bootloader + main) firmware file
and then, via SDF GUI Flasher (1.33) flash the WH16NS60 1.03 MK firmware file.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
I haven't done that. I downloaded several firmwares from the Forum, and I thought that in the worse case scenario I will be able to reverse it via one of them. I didn't know I flashed to a Slim drive Firmware, I only saw that after I googled the Model of the firmware I flashed to (it wasn't apparent in the name).TeddyRaspin wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 2:16 pm@sapphire

My model is the LG WH16NS40, and the firmware that it came with (via Make MKV) is 1.05 (prior to flashing).
What can I do?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Are you sure you followed the steps correctly?? Make sure there is no disc in the drive and the tray is closed.sapphire wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 6:40 pm
1. Using the recovery option in SDFtool Flasher, select BP60NB10 1.02-MK as the current, incorrect firmware in the popup.
2. Now, in the select firmware box, select firmware WH16NS60 1.02-MK.
3. Press START.
It will take a minute to complete. Even if the progress bar reaches 100%, DO NOT do anything until SDFtool Flasher has fully completed and says "Ready".
Cheers

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Yes, I did exactly all of those steps you mentioned already, multiple times. I tried it again now and did it a few more times too. It says ready after a few seconds.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 12:19 amAre you sure you followed the steps correctly?? Make sure there is no disc in the drive and the tray is closed.

Then when I enter Make MKV, it still shows me the incorrect drive.
I also cant open the tray or close it. It always shows me like the tray is open (In Make MKV) even though it's not.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
I'm not sure why this isn't working for you. I have done the same thing a few times (when testing the tool) and it worked every time. Try including the bootloader and see if that helps.sapphire wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 11:14 amYes, I did exactly all of those steps you mentioned already, multiple times.

Which BP60NB10 1.02-MK firmware did you use? The normal one of the NB12 version?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
And it will never read any bluray disc again. I've made the same mistake last year trying all firmwares (for testing purposes,
of course) on my LG BH16NS55 unit and after flashed the SLIM firmware, I had the same issues you have experienced.
Furthermore I could hear a strong smell of something overheated coming from the tray unit.
In other words, after recovered the proper firmware, engine part was fried and you can verify it by yourself seeing that
after inserting a bluray disc, engine won't start at all.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Oh no! So you mean to tell me that after I accidently flashed to a Slim drive, that burned my drive, and this process is irreversible?TeddyRaspin wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 4:20 pmAnd it will never read any bluray disc again.

Because if so, I don't know what to do. I just bought this drive not too long ago, and that will be $80 gone down the drain, with no way to play/rip my discs
