LG BH16NS55 FW 1.03 unable to over-flash

[holunder2]

Hi guys, got a new LG BD-RE BH16NS55 and wanted to flash the LibreDrive compatible firmware HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS55-1.05-NM00400-212004211049.bin
My current firmware version is 1.03.
So, I’ve followed the guide using cmd as admin and it seemed to successfully flash the MK firmware (with "enc" command). But it somehow didn’t got applied? I made a screencast of this process.

First, my drive did not make a 'restart' noise after the flashing and the process was faster than in the tutorial video. Then after the flash, even after a complete system restart, my drive is still using the 1.03 firmware:

Code: Select all

Revision: 1.03
Serienummer: KLWIB9G2100
Firmware-Datum: 2117-11-20 17:04
Markierungen der Bus-Verschlüsselung: 17
Highest AACS version: 72

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.03
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)

What did go wrong here?

"enc" is only required if the drive came w/ an encrypted FW (i.e. v1.05). & only for the 1st flash to non-encrypted FW. Since you appear to have started w/ v1.03, "enc" was never necessary.
