I'll commentate on what I see...

Timestamps:
0:03 - Your drive identifies as a BP50NB40 1.03 and your opening post says "Firmware type: Patched" -- so you did okay with the WRITE portion.
0:05 - Since your drive is already running patched firmware, you don't need to do WRITE again. Move on to RECOVERY.
0:07 - Using WRITE to flash BP50NB40 to BU40N? That won't work. But like I said, move on to RECOVERY.
0:30 - This is where you made a mistake. You need to pick the firmware that's currently active on your drive: BP50NB40 1.03MK -- do not pick BU40N here.
0:34 - Yeah that's fine.

If people would just read the title text of each window that pops up there would be no issue!
