Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2026

[Billycar11]

I had a SH216 set up thanks to this forum a few years ago. It died from too much ripping, ha. I bought a BDR-212V and just now got around to getting it set up. However, I've lost most of my knowledge over that time. I tried poking around on this forum but it seems like most problems are getting fixed via PM's. Can someone help me get this set up?

For Pioneer drives try cdrinfo.pl, if you ask nicely they will send you some free firmware that you can flash easily enough.
