You need to use the recovery method as described in the gif.

Posting in different threads won't help you. That's not focused and you will not solve your problem. Follow the link I posted and choose in the first upper box the firmware that you misflashed. IMPORTANT! Then choose in the lower box LG WH16NS60 1.02. Do so and report back.

I figured out what I did wrong, I downloaded an older version of the files that you need to download

I downloaded the right folder now

How may I flash back my driver

Whenever I flash the option you have me and finishes what do I do after that

we already knew what drive was in it
you recover it the same way in or out of the case
you will have to use cli and add nocheck to the command to ignore the tray being opened
