LG WH16NS60 Not flashing

Post by anonymouse » Tue Aug 17, 2021 5:37 pm

I have a LG drive that isn't flashing

It claims to flash ok :

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV> .\makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash -i C:\Users\johnk\Downloads\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

Reading input file C:\Users\johnk\Downloads\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
Flashing flags = 0x0 : 0 0 0 0 : ---- ---- ---- ----
Current Drive ID: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_XXXXXXXXXX
Ready to write drive flash memory. (auto confirmed)
Operation started: Sending flash image to drive
 100% Operation finished
Operation started: Programming flash
 100% Operation finished
Done successfully

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV>
But when I try it afterwards it still lists the original firmware and doesn't work :



Anyone got any suggestions?

You have to add the "enc" option since your original firmware is encrypted. Good Luck!

Per the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021


Newer OEM Firmwares and encrypted:


New Encrypted firmware
List of Know Encrypted firmware (so far, any firmware with date in 2020 is encrypted)
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.03-N000600-212005081010.bin

Change your command line to include the 'enc' switch...

.\makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i C:\Users\johnk\Downloads\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

Thanks so much! I was having issues with my flashing my drive in Linux as well until I found this thread.

For those that may need this help, I ran the following as above and was able to downgrade my 1.05 drive to 1.02 using:

./makemkvcon f --all-yes -d drivename -f /path/to/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /path/to/flash-file.bin

I hope that helps someone else if they run into this issue!
