I have bought the Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB EU External Drive.
I have managed to flash
Code: Select all
ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
and now my drive shows as:
Code: Select all
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: BUFFALO
Product: Optical Drive
Revision: 3.10
Serial number: MZFK1IF4404
Firmware date: 2119-01-04 10:14
Bus encryption flags: 1F
LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 3.10

However the discs are still not being read. As I understood, I need to flash either

or
Code: Select all
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-BN11-0M00300-211711201351
but both are giving me
.
I am using the following pack:

Yes it's bricked
I really don't get it I post the way not to brick your drive and you do it anyway.
Read cross flash warnings

The only way to fix is now is to take the drive apart and use dosflash with a direct sata connection in ide mode

You sure did. What possessed you to choose the ASUS firmware to load on a slim LG drive?
