flashing wp50nb40 questions

Post by 1zestytogepi »

So im trying to flash my wp50np40 for 4k support. I read in the guide that i first need to flash it to WH16NS60 1.02-MK, but i cant seem to locate that firmware in the "all you need firmpack" file. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

All your flashing questions are answered in the maintained first post in the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide thread.

In the guide isn't written to flash the firmware for an internal drive to an external slim one. Absolutely not!
Be lucky that you didn't find the (wrong) firmware on the first look, that saved your drive! :-)

God no! Follow the guide for BP50NB40 and the gif in the first post of the SDFtool flasher thread.
Cheers :D
