Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Post by PurpleWayneMV »

I just received my new Pioneer BDR-212V. Would appreciate any help with getting the firmware information for flashing the BDR-212V to support Libredrive and UHD.

(I will have it replace my older BDR-209DBK drive which has been failing. I had asked about it here before, but I gave up trying to find a lasting fix. It works inconsistently. I tried cleaning the lens, but I think the problem is something else with the drive. Maybe it could be repaired, but that would take someone with much more skill than I have.)

Thanks.

Not possible. Your firmware is too new and your drive can't be flashed.
