[SOLVED] Can't seem to flash this drive

Post by digimars »

Hi all. I have successfully flashed an external Pioneer drive with no issues before. Now, I have a WH16NS60 that I just can't seem to flash. Here are my steps:

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon f -l
Found 1 drives(s)
00: dev_21:0, /dev/sr0, /dev/sr0
  HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_M00M2L10049

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_0000008d.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash -i Downloads/mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/HL-DT-ST/WH16NS60/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.03-NM00600-212005081010.bin

Reading input file Downloads/mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/HL-DT-ST/WH16NS60/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.03-NM00600-212005081010.bin
Flashing flags = 0x0 : 0 0 0 0 : ---- ---- ---- ----
Current Drive ID: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_M00M2L10049
Ready to write drive flash memory.
Type "yes" to continue, "no" to abort
yes
Operation started: Sending flash image to drive
 100% Operation finished                                
Operation started: Programming flash
 100% Operation finished                                
Done successfully

Yet when I check the drive it still shows the defaults:

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon f -l
Found 1 drives(s)
00: dev_21:0, /dev/sr0, /dev/sr0
  HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_M00M2L10049
Any idea of what I might be missing?
Thanks.

Ah, nevermind, I was missing the encrypted option. After I added that all was well.
