Hello,
i bought a ASUS BW-16D1HT internal and flashed the firmware like told here in this forums to the 3.10 MKV version.
I did this with the sdftool_flasher, so the gui version.
After succesfully ripping few UHD BD, some didnt work and then the drive didnt work anymore altogether, not even recognizing normal blurays or UHD BD that i already ripped.
Solution:
So i did a simple reflash of the firmware (never thought a firmware can be broken or maybe fu**ed up because of "something"), but this time without the sdflash tool and with command line.
Now it rips a UHD BD it didnt even recognize before (no disc).
Update: Ok, after 2 UHD riping i had to flash again.
First it doesnt even recognize the disc, has hardware errors, read errors, etc.
and after the flash recognizes discs and starts ripping immediately.
I don't know whats going on.
Disclaimer:
I don't know if i flashed the firmware wrong, if the sdflash tool did something wrong (no blame intended), if a firmware can really break, but i just wanted to post this here so it might help others and it's fairly simple (i didnt do it before and tried all other steps, because i thought a firmware is a firmware and either it works, or the drive won't even spin up or be recognized)
I love the support here and i'm so happy that i can watch my UHD BD anywhere now!
