IT FREAKIN WORKS!!! The first response on this post actually works. I followed this video to the T and it works beautifully. I didn't know they encrypted the firmware now. He discussed my exact issue and solved it!! Thank you so so much!!!

Hello,

I just recently bought a 2nd UHD Drive as a backup to my main one. I've done the flashing process 2 times on two other drives I own using the ASUS flashing tool. However, this new batch of LG drives comes pre-loaded with the 1.03 firmware. I was able to RIP a Blu-ray using MakeMKV, however the Libre features aren't enabled. I want this flashed correctly like my other drive that I flashed. The other one I bought had version 1.02, but I upgraded it to the modified 1.03. It works like a beaut!

In short, how do I flash this new drive that I have?? This is the 2nd one that I've bought off of Amazon in 1 weeks and I'm having the same issue. I returned the other one cause I thought it was messed up. Below is a link of the 2 softwares I've used to try to flash this drive. I know I'm not flashing to the 1.03 that I'm doing the 1.00 version. Regardless, I get the same error.

I took the plunge today and spent $90 on the LG WH16NS60 at Microcenter. Came with the Cyberlink disk. Met the requirements: 2020 build, 1959, 1.03, NS60. I assumed the firmware was encrypted.

Was nervous because the new firmware file didn't have a MK in the name and it took me one try to determine I needed to manually add the .bin file extension. But, I am LibreDrive enabled on 1.02. Thanks to everyone who put in the time and research to accomplish what I never could have. Dave
