ill try it out and see what happens. havnt tried boot camp before. I assume that has something to do with the encryption part that vm has issues?

just curious why is it smooshing the window of the flasher (assuming you know or its easy to explain). never seen it before...changed resolutions and didnt change anything.

ill load up bootcamp and install windows.



as far as the command line comment...a bit confused. I was just going to use the apps window. is command line worth trying in my vm setup?

command line...? you mean like in the type commands section? so the windows part doesnt work? or command lines better? what would I type or do you have a thread or link on it. thats a new way for me.

thanks for the post.... in response i use mine for the simpler flashes tooo....i think the encyrption is what makes this a messy one and needs different hardware.
Both versions of SDFTool Flasher work with encrypted firmware. The older version has a checkbox for you to check and the newer version automatically checks and sets the option for you.

The GUI may look a bit deformed if you are using a 4K monitor. You can right click the exe and select properties. In the compatibility tab, click "Change high DPI settings" then under "High DPI scaling override" tick the box and select "System (Enhanced)" in the dropbox.

Hey im back, forgive the delay. I tried the pcs in the bulding and they were way outdated a decade so had too many issues, then Went to bootcamp my macbook pro based on the previous recommendations….however to my disapointment the box is still smoooshed.

Although its smooshed less i can read it a little,then i tried the right click thing and the dpi option didnt pop up.

However found an alt in the setting and now i can…drummm roll…

Read the box!

Its the little victories.

Now lets see if i can flash this momo

Thanks for the guidence

make sure you are right clicking the exe not the program when its opened then it is exactly as marty says if your on windows 10
you can also just change your resolution to 1080p reboot and has scaling at 100% and it should be fine

I updated it like a min after i published that i found a way to make it work…ill check again to see if i can make the original way work. Either way im groovy now. Thanks!!

Almost there, flasher is up, drive is connected windows sees it however the flasher doesnt. Going to deep dive and make sure everything else newly installed in bootcamp is updated unless someone has an idea.

I followed the steps exactly. I believe step 3 was the issue as the others seemed to change the drive information afterwards. I attempted both of the steps you recommended, flashing the firmware file from the link you sent as well as flashing the firmware and bootloader of the standard BP60NB10 file. Neither of those produced any results. It goes through the process and says it finished successfully, but does not show any changes when I pull up makemkv.
Ok, thanks for the update. You might just have to hold off for a few days or so until we get a resolution for this.
First of all, thank you for your work.

Today, I purchased a BP50NB40 NB52 and also could not flash the BP60NB10 1.00 MK firmware. Then, I tried the following and it worked. I ran SDFtool Flasher v1.3.1 as Administrator, chose the drive and selected "RECOVER Drive". It asked me to choose the wrong firmware the drive was flashed with and I chose BP50NB40 1.03 MK. Also, I checked "Include boot loader?" just in case and do not know if it was necessary. Then I selected the firmware to write the BP60NB10 1.00 MK and pressed "START". After it was successfully flashed, I inserted an UltraHD Blu-Ray into the drive and was able to rip it with MakeMKV v1.16.5. Hope that helps.
This worked for me too after the official instructions didn't work.

The "include boot" option is only for use with the BP50NB40 SVC:NB52 drive. If using SDFtool flasher v1.3.1, just hover mouse over it to see the tooltip.

your firewall is likely blocking hk downloads or you disabled contacting webserver for updates

Yes, you flashed the drive successfuly.

Also, to add to what Billy said, the disc you are trying to rip is Dune, which a lot of people are still waiting for decryption keys to be added. You might be in the same boat. If you haven't already, send in the Dune dump file to svq@makemkv.com and exert some patience.
Cheers :D
