Ive been out of it for a bit been quite crook, haven't been able to respond to mail from here but now I'm back - I have two drives that I need the firmware and order of operations for to upgrade them to being able to handle UHDs They are:
External LG BP50NB40
SVC Code NB52 Rom Ver 1.03
Internal ASUS BH16NS55
SVC Code NS55 Rom V1.05
The ASUS will be external after updating.
Can some one point me to the right place that shows everything in order and doesn't look like a state diagram.
Thanks.

Re: Need help with firmare updates on two UHD capable drives
Just have a good look there -----> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634
There you can find very good information, the SDF Flasher and firmware packs.
The BH16NS55 just flash directly to WH16NS60 1.02MK.
The BP50NB40 with NB52 needs a few more moves: " ..... NB52 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with enc > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with bootloader/full flash > BP60NB10 1.00_HBD from Marty download/file.php?id=2143 if using command line add "full" after rawflash"

No, don't use that old HBD firmware. Just use SDFTool flasher viewtopic.php?p=94848#p94848. The simple steps for the NB52 are also there.zittrig wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 5:41 amJust have a good look there -----> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634

That's perfect, took me a little bit to get used to the flasher but I sorted it and my LH is quite happily ripping 4k at 6X now, I have lots of these as I have lots of PCs so I will convert the other 6 later and then move onto the two ASUS drives.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 7:00 amNo, don't use that old HBD firmware.

Thanks to everyone that responded.
