Archgon HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU40N Errors

I am very new to the idea of digitalizing my DVD collection and decided to pick up this drive as I read it was compatible with the SDFtool Flasher and MakeMKV. However when I use the tool flasher to write firmware (DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin) i am met with "Command produced error code 0x82052602". I also tried to recover the drive in the tool flasher using DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin and I was met with "Command produced error code 0x82052400". I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to diagnose this problem and help me get on my way. Again I am quite new to this but any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know what that specific error means, but common things people run into include…

Make sure MakeMKV is installed. SDFtool Flasher needs MakeMKV to work.

There can not be a disc in the drive.

The drive tray must be closed.

Thank you for the reply dcoke22. I have MakeMKV installed, the drive has been empty and has been shut when I try. I actually also tried to flash it using the terminal on a MAC and the flash was "successful" however MakeMKV still reported the original firmware and thus it did not actually work. Any subsequent trials of flashing led to the same errors. But thank you for those items on the checklist to make sure I am doing correctly.

ensure you are writing DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK firmware. If your Archgon is new it likely has encrypted firmware so include enc in your command.

Post your command here and we can tell you if it is correct.

Thank you for the reply Marty. I have tried using your SDFtool software with the DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK firmware. I have actually tried using both the newer and older versions of the tool. And have tried (on both versions) using the enc option and not using the enc option. I have also tried the recovery option as well and all fail with the same two error codes. Then when I switched over to the Mac and using terminal these are the commands I used, trying both enc and not enc which again failed with the same error codes.

(non enc)
./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/2BE13B4B' -f /Downloads/Flashing/sdf.bin rawflash main -i /Downloads/Flashing/DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin

(enc)
./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/2BE13B4B' -f /Downloads/Flashing/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /Downloads/Flashing/DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin

The only thing that has kind of worked is the first attempt on both windows and mac. I ran the old version of the SDFtool without enc and the flash said it completed successfully. I power cycled the drive and makemkv said it was still on its original firmware. Then every other attempt with either version of the tool and with or without enc led to an error. The same thing happened on the mac. The first attempt without enc "worked" but after power cycling there was no actual change. Now each attempt ends with the same two errors.

Thank you again for the reply and thank you to anyone who may have more ideas!

I was hoping that anyone may have an idea of what I could do to troubleshoot this problem? Unfortunately I will likely have to return the drive soon if there are no other ideas.

Did you rename the .bin files you are trying to flash since the original names are way longer than what you show?

There's really no reason it shouldn't be flashing. I've flashed hundreds of those Archgons over the past few years without a hitch. You could:

1. Try flashing it on another computer.
2. Remove the drive from the enclosure and use a mini? sata adapter to connect it to your computer and flash it that way.
3. Return it and get a Pioneer or a Verbatim 43888!
