OCW External USB Drive firmware downgrade
Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2021 3:20 am
Hello Make MKV fam,
I recently purchased the OCW external BluRay USB drive and I am trying to figure out how to downgrade the firmware and not brick my drive at the same time. Looking into the details it seems I have an LG BH16NS40
Hardware ID USBSTOR\CdRomHL-DT-STBD-RE__BH16NS40_1.05
I have seen people use the ASUS firmware software to downgrade their but they had a different model, I am looking for guidance on which firmware I should use, or do I cross firmware? When I tried to use the LG flasher I got a "Checksum Mismatch" error. I cannot use DosFlash as it doesnt recognize the drive since its not connected to a SATA, so now I am at the ASUS flasher, but now I am hesitant as to what firmware to use.
