NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Drives

[MartyMcNuts]

Is their a downgrade firmware for the Asus BW-16D1HT PRO ??

The "PRO" is the exact same drive as the BW-16D1HT and has the exact same (identical) firmware. Use the SDFtool Flasher. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896

Hello everyone, I am a new optical drive novice. I recently purchased ASUS BW-16D1HT, which was manufactured in February 2023. Version 3.11. Connect a SATA to USB port and an external power cord to the laptop. The Windows version is Win10. When I use ASUS-ODD-Changer_ (modify). exe, it shows update failure # 1. When I use SDFtool Flasher, it shows "The drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (MT1959) and cannot be flashed." How can this be resolved. Thank you very much. Please forgive me, my English level is not very good.

Was lookin' for the part that identified the Platform in the next section down...

"The drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (MT1959) and cannot be flashed."

Based on what you've provided, tho, the flash tool may not be correctly interpreting a non-english character set when reading that field? Sure looks like a typical "drive platform (MT1959)" unit.
