Billy's is a script that you run and mine is a GUI tool where you select your drive and click the Start button. We both charge $25.00.

So actually you will prepare the right update for my drive as a "1-click" tool?
Do you accept Paypal?

In my signature is the link to my site. Find the "Single drive flasher" and select the firmware you want to flash to your drive. Yes, payment is via PayPal.

The recommended firmware for your NS55 is WH16NS60 1.02-MK as it's the fastest and removes the sleep bug. It only works with MakeMKV and AnyDVD software. If you use other ripping software such as DVDFAB, I suggest either WH16NS60 1.00 or NS55 1.02 firmware.

What about Leawo Prof. Media BR Ripper?

This is VERY old news, but on the off chance it still applies...

Have no idea about that, but it works perfectly!
That's the official site I made the purchase 1 year ago:

Yes because it's using makemkv as a backend
It's not nice to push a program that's stealing from this one here

Hello Billy, Thanks for making this flashing tool.
I was having some issues with flashing my drive. I have an LG WH16NNS60 with the encrypted (I guess? The dump matches one of the ones in the encrypted list and the flasher autoflags it) firmware 1.03. The drive is mounted internally in my case with a seta cable. I have tried flashing the 1.02-MK and another random 1.03 (I'm assuming it was "-MK" since I downloaded it from an older thread) firmware, but I get the same error every time, and the drive information in MakeMKV doesn't change.

Please see pictures below. I followed all the instructions, and searched for other users with this exact issue and couldn't find anything similar. So I made this account to hopefully get help resolving this issue. I purchased this drive around a year ago and it works find for regular blurays, but this is my first time trying to flash the firmware.

Thanks.

Googling your error code (the memory 0x code) I came across this post viewtopic.php?t=23587

Indicating from a few users that the error was caused by having a disc in the drive. Is that the case in your situation?

Longshot here, but are there any slot-loading 12.7mm drives that are recommended? I think I saw an off brand one on Amazon but thought I would check here.

Hi,

I finally got round to trying to flash my older LG BP50NB40 (Manufactured May 2016 - MT1959) external Blu-ray drive to enable 4K ripping but I must have done something wrong as it doesn't seem to work at all now (no eject & won't read discs - still recognised by Windows/MakeMKV). Would love it if someone could fill me in as to what went wrong and if there's any possible fix?

Using SDFTool 1.3.5, I firstly backed up my firmware and then updated the drive's firmware as per the guide using the files from the 'The all you need firmware pack':

My original firmware dump was: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BP50NB40_1.00_211504221517

I updated to: HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-NM00800-212005070917 and then to: HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.

Each step said it was completed successfully but the drive's bung.

If I bring it up in SDFTool/MakeMKV is recognises the drive as D: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BP50NB40_1.03_212005070917. If I try flashing it back to the original firmware, it says successful but nothing changes - still bung and still same says 1.03 firmware under MakeMKV and SDFTool.

I do have other 4k drives for ripping and previously had flashed an ASUS drive for 4K using the guides but not sure what I've done with this one.

Thanks!

I've been using an Asus BW-16D1HT drive (with 3.10 MK firmware) for a while now but I'm tired of dealing with the sleep bug so I want to switch firmware. Which firmware eliminates the sleep bug but also maintains AnyDVD compatibility?

WH16NS60 1.00 or 1.02-MK

I thought the MK firmware doesn't work with anything but makemkv? Any performance or capability difference between the two?

No real diff. I haven't looked at AnyDVD for a few years. Try 1.02-MK. If it doesn't work with AnyDVD switch to 1.00

Ok I see a half dozen 1.02s in the mk firmware pack so which do I use? BH16NS60, WH16NS60 or one of the others?
