Buffalo BRXL-16U3 Flashing issue
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2026 11:57 pm
Having some issues with flashing this drive
It is in an usb enclosure
I originally flashed to this HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03, no issues flashing
Then disc drive wouldn't open (was working before)
Looked around the forums some more and saw that people were flashing to this instead
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02
I tried hitting recovery and using this other firmware and everytime it finishes flashes almost instantly and nothing changes.
Light on the enclosure is green but the light above the actual disc drive is not on. Tried a paperclip in the 'Emergency open', no luck
I have tried power cycling and restarting PC, not really sure what else to do. I crated a firmware dump before the first flash although I don't know what that really does...
Help me unbrick this please
This is what my flasher tool looks like
