Re: Still Cannot flash Verbatim 4338 KIAB
You haven't flashed it. It is still on the original encrypted 1.05 firmware. Flash it to BU40N 1.03-MK and done.karadur wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 6:50 pmI tried to follow this topic to viewtopic.php?t=33781 to update my firmware but not only LibreDrive is not enabled but additionally I am getting "Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive" .

Thanks Marty, the closets firmware I could find was : HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin from The All You Need firmware pack. I used SDFTool but the drive remains at LibreDrive remains as not yet enabled

Re: Still Cannot flash Verbatim 4338 KIAB
If using that old version (why??) of SDFtool Flasher, you need to check the "enc" box as your drive has encrypted firmware. You should use the newer version of SDFtool Flasher as it automatically does this for you.karadur wrote: ↑Mon Mar 10, 2025 6:36 pmMarty
