Hello everyone!

Im trying to flash the LibreDrive Firmware ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014 from The all you need firmware pack to my ASUS BW-16D1HT drive with Firmware V3.11

As far as i understand all the other guides, Firmware Version 3.11 is encrypted. So i try'd this flash command:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f -v -d /dev/sr0 -f /path/to/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /path/to/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
And also this one:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f -v -d /dev/sr0 -f /path/to/sdf.bin rawflash main -i /path/to/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
But no matter what, i only get this output:

Code: Select all

Loaded SDF.bin version 0x98
And nothing more happens. I already try'd running as root and normal user.

Can someone help me out pls? :(
Im sure im just doing something wrong, but i have no idea.

LibDriveIo/SdfTool version: 2.6
MakeMKV V1.18.1

Try version 1.17.6 from this page: https://makemkv.com/download/old/

For Linux, it is seemingly the last known bug free version of makemkvcon.

Thank you! I have been struggling with this for the past couple of hours before I found this post. Downloaded and used 1.17.6 and worked flawlessly from the get go.

Thanks. I also wasted a bunch of time on this.
