Thank you very much Billycar11. That was why the Marty's SDFtool didn't work. It detects my unit as not encrypted and in fact it does.

One last question:

After reading a few post about v1.03MK vs v1.0DE, I'm not sure witch firmware to choose. I don't think I will use DVDFab.

Which one do you recommend me?

If you have SDFtool Flasher v1.3.1 and the encypted firmware detection is incorrect, simply click on the ✔ or ✖ to toggle it.

I have the same question, and a follow up. Just purchased an LG14NS40 and want to set it up to use with MakeMKV for Blu-Rays and 4k ripping to Plex. Was trying to follow the 2019 video/post to flash down to 1.02, but was not sure if I should follow encrypted instructions or non-encrypted instructions. I have attached screenshot of MakeMKV info, namely:

USE THIS?: 3. If you have a listed encrypted firmware you must use this command: makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d “ your drive letter here Example: D”: rawflash enc -i “path to your firmware Example: C:\Users\Billy\Downloads\Downgrade-Enabled-Firmware\Auto-Flash\LG-Desktop-NS60-sleep-fix\WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin”

OR USE THIS?: 4. If you have unencrypted firmware use this command: makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d “ your drive letter here Example: D”: rawflash -i “path to your firmware Example: C:\Users\Billy\Downloads\Downgrade-Enabled-Firmware\Auto-Flash\LG-Desktop-NS60-sleep-fix\WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin”

Also, confused about what flasher to use. I have the LG14 not the LG16, but can I use the same file? Your instructions and video use "WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin", but in the all you need firmware pack it downloaded something different (unless I grabbed the wrong one): HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin.

Thanks!

Many thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the obtuse questions. Yes, I have read the links but still have some confusion.

First, you thought my firmware was encrypted but that I should check. I looked at your list, and found this:

HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH14NS40-NS50-1.05-N000900-212005061444.bin

This appears to be my LGWH14NS40 drive, 1.05, see below from MakeMKV, and I assume that the added N000900 is just superfluous, but wanted to make sure.

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH14NS40
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: KLZM8AF4753
Firmware date: 2120-05-06 14:44
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 25

Assuming my drive is encrypted, this is the firmware I downloaded from your site, which currently sits in my Download folder:

E:\DownloadDir\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

If I understand the instructions, assuming my LG drive is assigned D: in Windows 11, at the command prompt in the PS C:\Programs Files (x86)\MakeMKV directory I would type the following:

makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d D: rawflash enc -i E:\DownloadDir\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

Part of my question is to confirm that I should be using this firmware file (HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin) even though your example shows to use this firmware file (WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin). In other words, why are the files named differently? Are they the same file, and the added verbiage in teh same is superfluous? Or do I need to find the file specifically named: WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin? I have downloaded the mk-firmware-pack-20200720 and in the Old folder I do not see the specific file WH16NS60-1.02-MK.bin, which you indicated that I should use with my LG14NS40

Thank you
