I flashed my BW-16D1HT but now my PC won't boot with it plugged in. Have I bricked my drive?

Is what I'm trying to do possible in a VM, and if so, what might I be screwing up?Code: Select all

No need to worry about that error. It is a rare occurrence. So long as the firmware has changed you are all good.MovieWatcher2 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 6:44 amThank you for putting this tool together.
I flashed my Asus BW-16D1HT 16x Blu-ray Writer with DE_ASUS_BW-16D1HT_3.10_MK.bin from the All You Need Firmware Pack (MartyMcNuts).zip using SDFtool Flasher (v1.3.5); both from the links in the first post.
At the end of the flashing process I got the error message "Command produced error code 0x82062900". (I tried to include an attachment but I don't think it will work.) However after I reran the MakeMKV.exe file, it appears to show that the drive has successfully been updated. I am also now able to play a 4k / UHD movie; previously that did not work, Windows would not even read the disc.
Should I be concerned about the error?
Thank you.
For anyone wondering, my Asus BW-16D1HT was from 2021, and other than the above the software provided here still works. I have only played one UHD movie so far; VLC (previously installed) automatically started up and played. I have no need to copy movies so I can't comment about that.
Thanks so much for you prompt reply. That's what I suspected.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 8:36 pmNo vm's
It's possible but the passthrough options are different for each vm software the simplest way would to through the whole USB controller not just the port or the drive that would work but don't think Parallels let's you do that
dont worry about the numbers the guide has been vetted by me and many others it works see belowpetromass wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 5:32 pmHello, I just purchased a LG internal 5.25" blu-ray drive model WH16NS40 (to be installed in a 5,1 macpro)
I would like to update the firmware in order to rip my UHD disks
I am using a Mac so using the terminal command, I got the following info : HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS40_1.05_212005061440_KLMN46F4254
If I understand correctly, the original firmware is version 1.05 Will I be able to use the terminal command to flash this drive to the suggested firmware?
WH16NS40 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK
I'm afraid that the original firmware version number of the drive (1.05) is newer than the MK firmware (1.02)
I'd like to check before I risk "breaking" my Blu-ray drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much
If the drive has NOT been flashed before use "enc" (encrypted firmware). If you have it flashed already to 1.02 and you want now to flash 1.03 don't use "enc".kingston12 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2023 10:52 amI'm trying to flash a BU40N from 1.02 to 1.03MK using the tool, but I keep getting 'Command produced error code 0xff05c103'.
Could anyone advise what I'm doing wrong? I've upgraded a few of these drives successfully in the past, but not for a while.
Any advice much appreciated.
