Hi there
I have just bought a new Asus BW16D-1HT drive and it has latest FW v3.11 installed and I don't think there is yet an MK version of this ?
SDFtool recognises the FW as encrypted but will not install v3.10MK.
Please advise on a way forward. Thanks in advance !

If it's attached via USB try it on SATA.

I just did one of these a few months back while connected via USB (OWC Mercury Pro enclosure). Did you check the little box on the left (I believe it's called "Include Boot Loader?")?

Hi, I just attempted to flash one of these drives on Linux using the instruction given
here.
I.e., I executed
Code: Select all
sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_00000096.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash -i mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/ASUS/BW-16D1HT/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
Even though the operation allegedly finished successfully, makemkv says after a power cycle:
Code: Select all
Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr0
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1HT
Revision: 3.11
Serial number: KLLMB382211
Firmware date: 2120-12-01 17:59
Bus encryption flags: 1F
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
No disc inserted
Is this drive simply not supported at the moment?

3.11 is encrypted so add enc after rawflash.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks!
Just for completeness sake, this is the command that worked:
Code: Select all
sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_00000096.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash enc -i mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/ASUS/BW-16D1HT/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
