Flashed UHD-Friendly Drive Still Won't Read UHD Discs.
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2023 8:52 pm
Hello everyone, and thank you for everything that you do. This is an incredible community!
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue I'm having with a drive I recently flashed. It's an HL-DT-ST BP50NB40 (NB50) in a micro-USB enclosure. I followed the guide and used the tools from here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896 and got the firmware file from the all-you-need firmware pack on this post: viewtopic.php?t=19634. The drive flashed properly, as far as I can tell. There were no errors, anyway. And as you can see from the screenshot below, MakeMKV acknowledges that the drive's running patched firmware and Libredrive is enabled. However, I've tried two different UHD discs in the drive and it behaves the same as it did before flashing- it spins the disc up for several minutes but does not recognize it as anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try? I'm not sure what's gone wrong.
