Good to hear Mike. Will the downgrade functionality be part of Makemkv or is the separate utility needed?

Haha, unwittingly updated my brand new S13U-X to 1.04 before seeing this announcement, had to send it back in and get a replacement that was luckily still on 1.03. Will NOT be touching the firmware from now on lmao.

Some status update. Unfortunately, this is taking much longer than expected. One think to note is that downgrade is possible on any version of firmware, and at the very least you would be able to downgrade, even a new drive that came with locked firmware.

I have a Pioneer BDR-212UBK and it was working awesome for ripping my UHD discs for almost a year. Unfortunately, just recently I stumbled into an issue with a couple of discs so I decided to "upgrade" to firmware 1.04 and like this forum is discussing it disabled the ability to rip UHD. Really looking forward to any type of solution. I'm grateful that my drive still rips DVD and Blu-ray, but I can't wait to have the ability to rip UHD to be restored to my drive. Thanks to everyone that is working on this, and I hope that a fix will be created soon.

Hi! Sorry, but I am new to this party. I made the mistake and updated the Firmware of my BDR-XD07TUHD to the latest 1.05 and now lost LibreDrive thus unable to rip 4K BluRays. I still have a 1.03 firmware (the Windows executable) laying around and i tried changing the two appearances of "1.03' with "1.06" in a Hex Editor. But when I try to execute it, there is an Error thus it does not flash the old firm ware. What exactly has to be done (changed) in order to downgrade the firmware? Is there an alternative flashing tool that i could use?

Waiting for your update on how to downgrade firmware of my Pioneer BDR-S13J-X from 1.04 to 1.03 owing to my oversight of the warning post on this forum.

I have my Pioneer BDR-S13J-X firmware upgrade to 1.04 but have download firmware 1.03 elsewhere from internet. Can anybody advise whether it is possible for me to downgrade my drive firmware back to 1.03? Thanks!

The BDR-X13U-S from Amazon seems to already be shipping with the latest 1.03 firmware (though I'm not entirely certain it was a virgin unit--the cables weren't bound with a wire and the plastic cover for the electric plug wasn't actually on the plug).
