Hi, is the stock FW of that drive encrypted? build year 2020. Are you supposed to tick the "encrypted" box when flashing it?. Also, im wondering how close that drive is in quality and function compared to an actual WH16NS60. I know it doesn't have M disc support.. at least not advertised.

Most likely the FW is encrypted since starting middle of 2020 all firmwares are. However, if flashing with "enc" in SDFTool fails you can still then try to flash without "enc". Trial and error. BH16NS58 usually supports less media codes for burning and it has the sleep bug that all friendly drives show. With WH16NS60, no sleep bug, more media codes, M-Disc support and better handling of 3-layer discs is what you gain. The hardware is identical besides that a real WH16NS60 has an encryption chip on the PCB which you don't want or need anyway. So just flash the best known firmware of a full size LG drive.

Ok thanks. I am not sure if i am going to keep this drive yet, so im hesitant to flash it because i can only backup the 'user data' and it won't allow full FW backup. I was in this hobby years ago and now that im back, I've forgotten so much stuff. The last drive i flashed was my trusty IHAS-B for XBGD3.
