ASUS BW-12D1S-U With pioneer BD-209

Post by rackhenry »

Hello Everyone,

First post here, Ive done quite a bit of research on this forum , however prior to doing that I bought this drive (ASUS BW-12D1S-U) and was about to return it as it seems like it won't work for UHD. However noticed it has a pioneer BD-209 Drive. SDF Flasher will not read it, as expected ( I believe Pioneer drives require a special flashing tool?)

Can anyone tell me if this drive will support UHD and can it be flashed with Libre? And if so how can I go about doing that? Here is the info.

Product: BW-12D1S-U
Revision: E401

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: E401/ID44

Thank you kindly,
