sdftool never ends
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2025 11:37 am
Hi all,
I'm trying to flash LibreDrive on an LG BD-RE BH16NS55 drive
After reading a lot of posts and tutorials I ended up with this command (that I launched as normal user and as root with same result)
But the command uses 100% of CPU and never ends
What can I do to flash the firnìmware in the drive?
Programs versions and info:
from kakemkv
Log
I'm using MakeMKV on Manjaro using the AUR package that includes the sdftool
