Backup failed

I tried to rip the 4K blu-ray on Linux and Windows on two different machines, with the same errors. (Got only this one, so no other 4K disc for comparison)
After my assumption, the firmware of the drive is the problem. (No signs of inssuficent power for the drive, blu-ray "The Matrix" was released 2 years ago and other users reported successful rips, I don't try to rip from an ISO/backup - https://www.makemkv.com/faq/item/11)

All of these drives will need to be flashed to unlock UHD Reading/Ripping

LG BU40N, UHD Official Internal Slim Sata 9.5mm

Here Billycar11 suggests

BU40N on any Firmware directly to > BU40N 1.03MK

Is this also true for the above mentioned 1.04? I didn't found a 'BU40N 1.03MK'-firmware

With the SDFtool I already tried to dump the current firmware of my drive with 'READ Firmware' but only got the user data 'dump_user_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_1.04_212005061142_[SERIALNUMBER].tar'

Last but not least, I'm a bit confused about the encrypted firmwares here:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634

Newer OEM Firmwares and encrypted:

New Encrypted firmware
List of Know Encrypted firmware (so far, any firmware with date in 2020 is encrypted)
...
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-N000500-212005061142.bin
...

LG 1.04+ / BU40N 1.03 / Asus 3.10+ and similar
...

I guess this affects my device but couldn't find out where to see the exact installed firmware of my drive (which is why I tried to dump it with the SDFtool, like mentioned above). I only can asume it's something like HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-XXXXXXX-212005061142

...and there is no MK version of the same firmware/drive model or higher number...

But there is the, again, above mentioned 'HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin', so I can use this?


My questions would be, did I miss anything? And if not, can I just flash it with "mk-firmware-pack-20200720 \ MK \ HL-DT-ST\BU40N-N-Main \ HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin" and the SDFtool? Is the 'DE'-firmware (DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin) any use to me?


I hope my thoughts are not too confuesd.
In advance I would like to thank you for every bit of advice.

Hi,

i have exactly the same drive, with the same firmware (with that weird firmware date) and run into exactly the same problem. Only difference: I'm using MacOS, and my makemkv version is 1.16.3

mark96, did you find a solution to your problem?

Regards,
Brima
