Hi

Since this is a pre-2017 drive with an unlocked bootloader, I am looking to perform a DIY cross-flash to enable UHD support (likely to the BDR-S11/211 series).

Can anyone provide—or point me toward—the raw .bin files (specifically the S11/211 kernel and firmware) and
the appropriate flashing utility (DVRFlash or the patched Pioneer flasher) required for this specific RS8600 cross-flash?
