hi there

currently looking at a pioneer PIONEER BDR-XS07TS looking to flash it.

is there anything I need to look out for if purchasing it?

does the model I buy need to be a of a specific firmware? how would I flash it once bought?

Pioneer firmware update February 2023

What does this mean? if the drive is manufactured during this period is it unable to be flashed?

Yes. If the firmware is too new on pretty much any Pioneer drive, it can't be made to work with LibreDrive. It can work for regular blu-rays and DVDs, but not 4K UHDs.

A Pioneer BDR-XS07TS doesn't look it supports UHD by default. If the firmware is old enough, I do not know if it can be made to read UHDs. That would be a question for Billycar11.

Probably the best way to get a Pioneer drive that'll work with UHDs is to get one from a seller in your region.

it can be crossflashed if the fw is from before 12/22 after that nothing can be done
that may or may not change we dont know
