i would think it would work unless that case does not support flashing but it just looks like a buffalo rebrand off so it probably supports it.
your not checking enc right?

first page BU40N 1.03mk on any BU40N one flash and done get the all you need firmware pack

So when I press START it seems nothing happens.

MT1959 Platform:
Encrypted Firmware:

both have red X

"Ready..." doesn't change.

It seems that MakeMKV is not recognising your drive's platform as MT1959, cause that should have a green tick next to it. If the drive platform is marked with a red X, then the start button is disabled so that you can't accidently flash a non-compatible drive. I still think that the current firmware is the problem. Never seen it before...

When you run MakeMKV does it say "Drive Platform MT1959" anywhere on the right hand side?

I don't see any Drive Platform information, only the Drive Information posted above.

in SDFTool the full drive is labelled:
HL-DT-ST__BD-RE_BU40N_DN13_211907041426_MO9K6D81503

if that's anything.

well in this case you cant use the sdf tool for now marty will probably fix it soon.
but you can use the cmd to do it or email me for an automated flasher

There's nothing to fix. The tool is working properly. If MakeMKV doesn't recognise the drive as platform MT1959, there's nothing I can do about it. There must be something up with that drive as MakeMKV should also be showing the LibreDrive section (including drive platform)

You could try the old SDFtool Flasher (version 1.2.0) as that doesn't check the drive platform.

The old Flasher READ Firmware worked, where it didn't with the newer. WRITE Firmware still did nothing.
"enc?" should not be checked, correct?
