Hi all, I'm a complete newby to this flashing thing so sorry if anything I ask is obvious. But I was reading the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide, and noticed that BP50NB40 units with 1.03-N000300-212107081603 firmware are encrypted. This is the firmware my unit has. Does this mean it is unflashable? Or is there a workaround? Does anyone mind giving me a step-by-step if it is possible? I don't want to brick my new drive.
Thanks

Re: Flashing a 2021 Manufactured BP50NB40
Update: I have successfully flashed the drive using these steps:
1. Flash the drive to BP50NB40 1.03-MK.
2. Flash the drive again to BP50NB40 1.03-MK, this time checking the "bootloader" box.
3. Select the RECOVERY option and in the pop up, select the BP50NB40 1.03-MK firmware that you just flashed.
4. Select the BP60NB10 1.00-MK firmware in the normal drop box.
5. Click START
Worked perfectly! Thank you everyone for your contributions to these boards, very helpful to a newby like me.
