It claims to flash ok :

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV> .\makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash -i C:\Users\johnk\Downloads\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

But when I try it afterwards it still lists the original firmware and doesn't work :



Anyone got any suggestions?

You have to add the "enc" option since your original firmware is encrypted. Good Luck!

Change your command line to include the 'enc' switch...

.\makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i C:\Users\johnk\Downloads\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

Thanks so much! I was having issues with my flashing my drive in Linux as well until I found this thread.

For those that may need this help, I ran the following as above and was able to downgrade my 1.05 drive to 1.02 using:

./makemkvcon f --all-yes -d drivename -f /path/to/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /path/to/flash-file.bin

I hope that helps someone else if they run into this issue!
