I'm not sure how I can obtain the 1.02 MK. Can you send a link? Thanks!
Hello Guitrdone,

Use Marty's SDFflasher to flash your drive. Use this file in the folder labelled HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936 to flash your drive to 1-02mk. If you then want to flash to WH16NS60 1-00DE, then use the file in the other folder labelled DE_LG WH16NS60_1.00. You must flash with 1-02mk first, then 1-00DE

Please use this link below to use Marty's SDF Flasher to flash your drive.

I did exactly this, and I have The Dark Knight streaming now. Can't tell if the HDR was copied, but it looks pretty good. Does MakeMKV copy the HDR info too?

Thanks a bunch!
You are welcome, and I would, however, encourage you to read the guides in more detail as this is how you will learn. I appreciate you were struggling, so I made it easy for you. MakeMKV does support HDR, but it depends on what you are playing it back on.

I have tried several methods to flash my Archgon MD-8107-U3 so far with no luck. Here is the information I get from MakeMKV:
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: MO8M2QI0627
Firmware date: 2120-12-01 17:16
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 77

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)
I've tried flashing HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.02-NM01201-211711301218.bin from the old directory of mk-firmware-pack-20200720 if I run the CLI command

Code: Select all

makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d D: rawflash -i "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.02-NM01201-211711301218.bin"
I get what appears to be a successful message:

Code: Select all

Operation started: Sending flash image to drive
 100% Operation finished
Operation started: Programming flash
 100% Operation finished

But when I restart my computer and run MakeMKV again the drive info is unchanged. I know I am missing something and would appreciate any help that can be given.

As to why I ran the CLI and not a GUI the GUI would fail immediately see attachments for a screenshot.

Your firmware is encrypted. Add the enc flag to your command.

Yes. Use the guide from page 1. You need to flash MK firmware. DE firmware is only possible afterwards but is not needed.

Hello,

I am currently using the drive "archgon Star UHD External 4K-Ultra HD BD Player" to rip blu rays.
I can only rip blu-rays, but it doesn't work for 4K UHD discs at all. I will need to flash the drive.

Product details: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archgon-Extern ... 101&sr=1-3

This is the info of the drive:

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)

I downloaded a folder for firmware pack and found the following:
1) Asus 5.25 BW-16D1HT
2) LG 5.25 desktop
3) LG slim BP50NB40-NB50
4) LG slim BU40N
5) LG slim USB BP60NB10

Could someone please suggest which .bin file to use (that would ensure I can be successful with the ripping process)?

Thanks :)

What does the Drive Information section say? It is above the LibreDrive Information.
