LG BP60NB10 Flashed?

[rwgrier]

I'm a bit of a n00b at this. If this post is off-topic or in the wrong location, please feel free to move or close.

I recently purchased an LG BP60NB10 External Slim DVD Drive.

MakeMKV reported that LibreDrive was possible with patched firmware. I followed the steps outlined here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634. I used the macOS steps because that's what I'm using.

I used this command:

Code: Select all

./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/C76B5542' -f /tmp/sdf.bin rawflash -i /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin

Flashing the drive appears to have worked. Here's the output:

Code: Select all

Reading input file /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin
Flashing flags = 0x0 : 0 0 0 0 : ---- ---- ---- ----

This is what MakeMKV reports once I was done.

Code: Select all

My question is, how do I know this worked? I was able to backup a Blu-Ray of Solo. But when I tried to backup the UHD 4k version of Solo, I got this error:

Code: Select all

LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.
Backup failed

I see others have had issues backing up the 4k version of Solo. But the error seems to indicate that I haven't properly flashed the firmware.

I can't tell if I've done something wrong in flashing the firmware, or if the Solo UHD 4K disc just doesn't work with this drive.

Any information or further tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your patience.

Your description is that you have a new drive, but you don't seem to be telling the SDF program to use the encode ("enc") option to write to it. That's why the result is still saying "(with patched firmware)".

[rwgrier]

I was indeed missing the "enc" parameter. I tried running

Code: Select all

./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/C76B5542' -f /tmp/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin

Now my drive is listed as Enabled. Thank you!

enc is for encrypted, not encode. Just to make things straight.
