Use SDFTool flasher.pyrochance wrote: ↑Mon Nov 24, 2025 10:26 pmHi there,
i am new to the forum, just starting in the hobby.
I purchased a used drive, it was supposed to be a WP50NB40, but i received a 2017 BP50NB40
I thought the WP model was supposed to be easier to flash but not sure if that really matters.
Since its already on a 1.01 firmware, do i still need to flash "BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK" or should i go straight to " BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK" ?
im struggling with the instructions a bit. am i supposed to "Write" first the same firmware then "recovery" the same firmware?

First flash the MK firmware to the drive.
Then look at the GIF. In the upper box during RECOVERY put the just flashed firmware again and in the lower box BU40N or BP60NB10.
