Hello,
I have one of these, but the firmware is post-patch. I am aware of the recent news regarding pioneer drives though.
I was just wondering, when the new fix rolls out and 4k UHD support is restored to post-patch Pioneer drives, will this model be one of the supported drives?
I bought it intentionally while they were still readily available for MSRP, knowing the firmware was post-patch, because I know a fix will come eventually, and I would rather get it while they are still available.
TL;DR Will this drive with post-patch firmware work with the upcoming fix for pioneer drives, whenever it releases?
Much appreciated!

Mike has said that the newer Pioneer drives will be libredrive supported but that does not mean UHD supported. I'm not sure if there will be any flashing required or if libredrive will just be enabled, so, if it's the latter, unless your drive is an actual UHD model (XS07UHD) then it more than likely won't support UHD discs.

The XS07S would need to be cross-flashed to enable UHD support and we just don't know at this stage if firmware flashing will be enabled or not with the newer, post 11/2022 firmware.
