Archgon MD-8107-U3-UHD "no drive tool logic"
Posted: Wed May 20, 2026 11:04 am
Hello!
I just bought an external bluray drive, and it works for ripping 1080p blurays, but I'm having problems flashing the firmware to rip UHDs.
Model: Archgon MD-8107-U3-UHD
Interface: USB-C external enclosure (I tried a USB-A adapter also)
OS: Windows
Platform: MT1959
Drive: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU40N
Firmware: 1.02
I've been trying to follow the guide and downloaded the current version of SDFtool. Attempting to dump the firmware does nothing but create the dumps folder. So I tried the CLI, and I get "no drive tool logic found in SDF.bin". I tried the "-t mtk19xx" command listed in the guide, and got a debug code (4278927365, if it matters). I even tried putting the SDF.bin file in the MakeMKV directory, but of course that didn't do anything
So I'm not sure how to continue. I saw a couple of older threads about this drive but didn't get anywhere. Has anybody successfully flashed this exact product? Am I missing something obvious?
Any help is appreciated
