The performance of the BDR-XD07T Cross-Flashed to BDR-XD07TUHD is of a very high standard, and the quality of the Pioneer drive is outstanding. It is excellent at burning and reading discs. This drive is a top loader type drive and is extremely quiet in operation. The drive has read every 4K disc I have tested, all with no problems. The drive does not have the AACS 2.0 Crypto Chip. Apart from that, it has the same functions as a Pioneer BDR-XD07TUHD and will read and back up 4K UHD discs. This does not make a difference as most people use VLC for unofficial playback, as Cyberlink PowerDVD HD has very stringent criteria relating to hardware, and VLC is more straightforward.

Pioneer BDR-212EBK Cross-Flashed to BDR-S12UHT with firmware 1-02, fitted to a Vantec DX2, model number NST-540S3-BK. Vantec's newest Model.
Vantec DX NST-540S3-BK USB 3.0 5.25" External Enclosure. Fitted with Pioneer 5.25" BDR-212EBK Cross-Flashed to BDR-S12UHT now £156.99 minus 5% = £149.15 plus postage for all MakeMKV forum members.
Things have moved on in the world of 4K optical drives. The most significant change is that the Pioneer drives can now read 4K Blu-rays. Pioneer has always been a higher quality-build when it comes to optical drives.
The main benefit of Cross-Flashing this drive is that it is cheaper than the Pioneer Flagship model BDR-S12UHT, and there is a significant saving to the end customer.
The performance of the BDR-212EBK is of a very high standard, and the quality of the Pioneer drive is outstanding. It is excellent at burning and reading discs. The BDR-212EBK Cross-Flash performs exceptionally well and reads every 4K disc with which I tested the drive.
The BDR-212EBK, when Cross-Flashed, has the same performance as the BDR-S12UHT, except the BDR-212EBK does not have the AACS 2.0 Crypto Chip. This does not make a difference as most people use VLC for unofficial playback, as CyberLink PowerDVD HD has very stringent criteria relating to hardware, and VLC is more straightforward. Apart from the AACS 2.0 Crypto IC being omitted, the BDR-212EBK is identical.
If you use an external enclosure, I recommend you partner with this drive with the new Vantec DX2 5.25" square.
The new Vantec DX2 model now uses a new updated communications interface PCB. The newly designed PCB incorporates the JMS578 USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s bridge controller. It provides a low-power and high-performance solution for optical disc drives. The JMS578 supports a higher data transmission rate and lower power consumption than its predecessors. The Pioneer BDR-212EBK Cross-Flashed to BDR-S12UHT fitted to a DX2 enclosure is a brilliant combination with its sleek and stylish design. Performance is of a very high standard, and the quality of the Pioneer drive combined with the newly designed DX2 is a clear winner.
When you insert a disc in the Pioneer drive, it reads the 4k disc within 2 to 3 seconds, with none of these loud seeking noises for 10 to 15 seconds that you get with the Hitachi or ASUS desktop drives. You can walk away now and know when that when you come back that the disc will be completed successfully, and there will be no read errors.

The new safe method of Changing Firmware "Using Asus Modified Flasher"
Thanks to mike, we now have an alternative method to flashing firmware. Read more about it here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=18873
In some circumstances, when Cross-Flashing and doing be-spoke firmware changes, we use the command line or dos tools.
I want to compliment our fellow seller Martymcnuts who developed the SDF Flasher, which is an excellent tool and makes life easy for the forum members.
Also Billycar11 has provided excellent technical guides and videos to help and assist forum members. So well done to my fellow sellers for their technical knowledge and support to MakeMKV.
MakeMKV now supports official UHD drives such as LG WH16NS60, LG BU40N and others, which are currently being built on. Hopefully, Mike will be adding on some new drives shortly [/colour]

"Firmware Flashing"
Firmware Flashing advice is free. However, I will do my best to point customers in the right direction as this is generally an easy task and one I wouldn't say I like charging for.
Please email us if you have any questions or queries on firmware flashing.
uhdfriendlydrives@gmail.com
All drives are brand new and tested for 4K compatibility after changing the firmware. This drive has been removed from the original packaging and connected to one of our computers to change the firmware to custom firmware which makes your drive able to read UHD discs.
Drives are tested by inserting a 4K disc back into the original packaging. Other than that, it is brand new. Therefore, I cannot guarantee you will be able to plug this in and play a 4K disc on your PC. It will, however, READ them. Therefore, with additional software (NOT included in this auction), this drive can provide you options to rip, burn, copy, etc., giving the potential to change a 4K disc to a playable file format.
Also, for 4K playback, the PC needs to have a motherboard, monitor and hardware supporting 4K playback, as the drive is part of the jigsaw.
All drives are carefully packed to ensure safe arrival. In the unlikely event you should receive a damaged or defective drive, a replacement drive will be sent in its place. If the drive is faulty, it must be returned within 30 days.
At the moment, there are two types of BD drives that can read UHD discs. The two types of BD drives are official UHD and so-called UHD-friendly drives. The official UHD drives implement AACS2 protection, which means that just to read the data from the disc, the software must present the AACS2 host certificate.
"Questions & Answers"
Q: What Firmware will you flash my drive with?
A: I will discuss each order or query individually with you and make you aware of what options is available to you.
"Payment Methods"
