I've been using MKV for many years, my LG UHD drive that worked for a long time started to have issues. I purchased a Pioneer BDR-S13UBK thinking I would be able to fdowngrade the firmware by now. Any updates on firmware downgrades for this drive?

I received a PM, but can not reply yet as I am too new here.. lol

so does this drive need to be flashed to XD06 to make it work with UHD ?

Hi there

I recently purchased a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD drive to use on my M2 Mac laptop to backup some of my 4K UHD movies. Unfortunately, I didn't realise there would be so many copy protections and I am basically unable to use the drive. After some searching, I stumbled upon this forum to discover that it could be the firmware (1.03) on my drive that is causing issues. I managed to download an older firmware version (1.02), but not 1.01, and at any rate have been unable to downgrade to 1.02.

Would love to purchase MakeMKV but unfortunately it doesn't work for me, potentially due to the 'libre drive' issues?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated please! Drive info below.

Is there a chance that the Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD / BDR-XS07UHD or BDR-S13U will be flashable for casual users in the future? Guess I'll have to go for a BU40N drive now because of that crap.
