Hi there,

I recently purchased an LG WP50NB40 as a disk drive for my plex server running on a Pop_OS! machine, and I'd like to make it a LibreDrive. According to MakeMkv, this is possible, and I've followed these Linux forums, and as far as I can tell have successfully flashed HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin to the drive using

Code: Select all

sdftool -d /dev/sr1 rawflash -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin

. The output from my terminal has been added as an attachment. However, when I go into MakeMkv after this, it states that Libre Drive is still not enabled. I've tried rebuilding MakeMkv from source post patch, as well as attempting to patch with HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin and HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

post your full drive info and
read the guide
you may have encrypted fw and need enc and you need to use HBD fw to convert to bp 60

Here is my full drive info:

What do you mean by "use HBD fw to convert to bp 60"? Thanks for the quick response!

This part of guide is likely relavant BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with enc > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with bootloader/full flash > BP60NB10 1.00_HBD from Marty download/file.php?id=2143
if using command line add "full" after rawflash

The enc keyword did the trick! Thanks for your help.
