@subman,
I'm pretty sure your current firmware (3.00) is UHD friendly. Just pop in a 4K UHD disc, open MakeMKV and see if you can back it up to your hard drive.
If it works,then you are all good. If not,then, yes, you can easily cross-flash it. Not sure about if it will write to Blu Ray discs after being flashed to BW-16D1HT.
thanks a lot for your reply i would try to cross flash justo to be sure if it writes or not
you said " If not,then, yes, you can easily cross-flash it." my question is what method should i use
added some photos of drive
1. Run the patched exe
2. Make sure your drive is selected in dropbox (if you have more than 1 drive)
3. Click the folder button and select a firmware. (I recommend BW-16D1HT 3.02)
4. Press the play button to flash drive
5. Reboot & done.
Cheers

What you need to do is return that piece of junk to wherever you purchased it and buy a real drive, in my opinion.

Thanks for your oustanding reply and show to us all why instead of sending me PM to “gladly” Sell me other preflashed drive ...
Have you been able to sort out your drive or restore back to 3.00? If not, please try this and let me know if it works for you.

I'm a bit confused. If I use an official LG drive and create an MKV file from a 4k UHD HDR Blu Ray, will I be able to play that file back in MP-HC using MadVR or not? I'm seeing conflicting information out there saying that only the "UHD Friendly" drives will work.
At the time of this writing no such certs are publicly available, and certainly MakeMKV doesn't have one. This means that at the moment MakeMKV cannot even make a non-decrypted full disc backup of an UHD disc from such drive.
Seeing as this post was in 2017 and the Official LG drives are listed as supported now, is this statement still true or not? I'm assuming the answer is yes and I can go ahead and get an LG WH16NS60 to play Blu Rays in MadVR. Correct?

I think you mean Official UHD drives (those rockin’ the UHD Blu Ray logo on the bezel) vs. standard bdxl Blu Ray drives that can be flashed into UHD friendly.
The line between the two has now blurred so much that the LG UHD Official drives can now be made into UHD Officially Friendly drives that will rip 4K UHD Blu Rays and play them
back with PowerDVD as well.
Yours truly being happy to hook up one and all with drives that fit this description.
Ask me for a 4K “UHD Friendly” Blu Ray drive to try before you buy!
i would try to cross flash justo to be sure if it writes or not
