Probably also the new encrypted type you must use the makemkv command line flasher
Buy a UHD drive from the guide and how to video maker: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 20&t=17831

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
ok, thanks, but which firmware version should I use?
Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
Well, looks like drives with the new encrypted firmware are starting to show up fairly frequently!

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
This might be a dumb question, but since it says ROM 1.03 on it (I assume manufactured with that) and has arrived to him with 1.04, does this mean they're upgrading the firmware at suppliers?

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
Put "enc" option (without quotes) after rawflash because if your unit comes with 1.04 it will accept only fw in encrypted format.

Glad to hear that.
Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
Unrelated question:
Why are the serial numbers from MakeMKV and from the sticker different?

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
it also makes me wonder. The drive comes from a legal distribution ... I think the distributor or supplier has changed the firmware (forcibly?). This is really strange.
Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
I'd guess the number MakeMKV is displaying is actually the serial number of the drive controller / internal device, rather than the serial of the entire unit as a whole (whats on the label).

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
I think they are running some sort of upgrade process (could be recall / refurbish) where the drive gets a new firmware with encryption, and changes its serial number in a process.metasynapse wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 11:28 amit also makes me wonder.

Re: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04
Any benefit to downgrading the firmware from 1.04?
1.02 is here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/software- ... CT30011742
Is 1.03 the patched version that MakeMKV references in the LibreDrive section?
