BU40N Slim Drive won´t flash
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:15 am
Hey,
I recently got into Plex and started to get my old DVD´s on there, which worked fine with MakeMKV and my old DVD Burner in my PC.
Now I wanted to do the same with my Blue Rays.
Watched them on my PS5 but now got the "HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU40N" and a slim case for it to rip those Blue Rays.
MakeMKV tells me this about the Drive:
Laufwerksinformation
OS-Gerätename: J:
Produzent: HL-DT-ST
Produkt: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.04
Serienummer:
Firmware-Datum: 2120-05-06 11:42
Markierungen der Bus-Verschlüsselung: 17
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.04
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)
Keine Disk eingelegt
So I read the Ultimate flashing Guide, downloaded the updated Firmware Pack and the SDFTool Flasher 1.3.5.
Now when I open the SDFTool and select the Drive and then select "write firmware" with the 1.03 firmware out of the Firmware Package and press start, it won´t do anything. Simply won´t start.
I tried to create a Firmware dump via the "read firmware" promt and it does it. Well it does something. It creates the Firmware_Dumps folder, but there is nothing in it, so it failed I guess?
Haven´t tried the powershell manual mode yet, because I´m afraid I´ll brick my drive if that fails as well.
Maybe someone could point me into the right direction here.
