Proper flashing procedure for Buffalo BRXL-PUS6U3B

As per this thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=40461 Coopervid's advice is to "downgrade to 1.17.7 and flash BU40N 1.00." on my slim external Buffalo BRXL-PUS6U3B.

Read through the guide and will do so again. To clarify what I understand so far:

1) download SDFtool Flasher and All You Need Firmware Pack
2) flash BU40N 1.03-MK first
3) flash BU40N 1.00 next

Just a bit fuzzy on when to use write or recovery. I'm currently blaming this on a lack of coffee and sleep. Guess I'll see if there's a video tutorial out there.

Many thanks to everyone in the MakeMKV community.

Device: /dev/sr1
Manufacturer: Buffalo
Revision: BN14
Firmware date: 2121-06-21 13:33

Thanks, Coopervid. So both times I just select the firmware and choose Write. ie, write 1.03, then write 1.00?

Hope you have a great holiday season.
