Currently have optical drive with version: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_KL4KAN15750
Inside the firmware pack, in the old folder there is 2 firmware versions for this:
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.01-NM00100-211711202000.bin
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
I will try 1.01 and maybe 1.02 but why is the part after 1.0x different for the firmware in the pack and the one i have?
Unsure which firmware version to use

Recommended Firmware to flash for MakeMKV:
WH16NS60 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK
KL4KAN15750 is your drive serial number, so is unique to that drive. The rest is ~FW release date (year + 100, for some reason?)

Re: Unsure which firmware version to use
ok thanks!
however when i flashed my optical drive, the firmware version does not change, even after restarting. did it several times.
do i have to replace the two strings after the 1.0x with my own on the firmware binary? i used these inputs:
sudo sdftool -d HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_KL4KAN15750 rawflash main -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
sudo sdftool -d /dev/sr0 rawflash main -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
firmware is still on 1.03 not 1.02 ! !
would replacing ...1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin to the one i have for my optical drive work?
