Pioneer BDR-S09XLT LibreDrive ready but not ripping UHD-discs

[rg_63]

This is my first post in this forum.
Before posting I tried to find a solution for my problem by reading many topics in this forum.
But unfortunately I was not successful and could not find a solution.

I like to start ripping my UHD Bluray collection to my Windows-PC.
I have a Pioneer BDR-S09XLT drive.

Here is the output from makemkv:

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-S09
Revision: 1.31

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.31/ID43

No disc inserted

But I am not able to rip UHD-discs.
MakeMKV says that there is no disc inserted.
In other topics in this forum I read that it is likely that the drive must be cross flashed.
But I also read that there is no official public flashing tool for Pioneer drives.

I am not sure what I have to do to get my drive working for ripping UHD-BluRays.

Your firmware does not support UHD ripping. The drive itself may, with updated-to-after-UHD-was-introduced firmware.

Expect a private message from one of the people who can help you with that.

Please post again. Most people asking for something like this just disappear.

I had email contact with Billycar11 and I have got the flasher tool for my drive.
I flashed the drive und now it can read UHD-discs.
Everything is working without problems now.

You need to post your Makemkv info to check if it‘s possible to flash this drive.
