SDFtool Flasher

[MartyMcNuts]

Hiya,

I've been having trouble trying to use SDFtool Flasher. Sorry if I miss out relevant details, I'm new to all this stuff.


Below is my drive information from MakeMKV:

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MO5P5MF1048
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 61

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959


I was attempting to use the SDFtool Flasher today, but I kept encountering the following error message:

Input string was not in a correct format.


When I expanded it to see the details, this was the message:

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.ThrowOverflowOrFormatException(ParsingStatus status, TypeCode type)
at System.Convert.ToInt32(String value)
at SDFtool_Flasher_Updated.Form1.<>c__DisplayClass46_0.<<button_START_Click>b__2>d.MoveNext()
--- End of stack trace from previous location ---
at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.<>c.<ThrowAsync>b__128_0(Object state)


I'm not sure if I'm flashing the correct file. I've tried LG_BU40N_1.03_MK and LG_BU40N_1.00.

Sorry if these are obviously the wrong files, as I said above, I'm rather new to all of this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ensure MakeMKV is installed in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)).
Ensure there is no disc in the drive and the tray is closed.

I assume this is a Verbatim 43888, 43889 or 43890? As v1.05 is encrypted, you must use BU40N_1.03_MK first. Once flashed, you can leave it or then flash to BU40N_1.00.
