Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Just got my Archgon MD-8107S-U3+BU40N(K) from the recommended drives list, which is correclty identified as:
But when trying to flash with the associated firmware from the ultimate pack, I get an error that was also encountered by another user, who had to resort to downgrading using the legacy flash tool, which I'd like to avoid, since this should now be possible the standard way from the updated 2021 guide, right?
I'm on Manjaro Pahvo with Linux 5.14.18-1 and for the first time, tried the snap package, since I was missing some compile dependencies I couldn't find right away - but since makemkv works flawlessly, including ripping a bluray, I don't suspect that's the problem.

dammit, it *was* the snap - I shouldn't have been so lazy and just install pkg-conf, then compiling worked and with the "native" makemkv, flash worked like a charm with the firmware listed here:

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Hi, everyone!
I'm pretty sure I've scoured this guide to the extent that I can, but I'm still running into some issues getting my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3-BK working with MakeMKV reliably in general and at all for ripping UHD discs.
Both the Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray I'm using to test the drive with are brand new and clean.
I have both USB cables plugged in via a USB hub. I don't know what either cable is for, as the instructions for the drive are entirely in Japanese.
It's my understanding that this drive is just a rebranded BU40N, so I've been trying various versions of BU40N firmware with nothing working consistently. The original post suggests using 1.3, but I've tried 1.3 and 1.4 and still have issues.
I'm using SDFtool Flasher v 1.2.3 and firmware for the BU40N from the MK pack. I've tried 1.3 and 1.4.
As far as I can tell, the firmware flashing seems to be successful each time I try it.
FYI, I have two of this same drive, and they're both exhibiting the same issues.
Here's what MakeMKV shows me when no disc is inserted:
Much of the time, when inserting a UHD disc, MakeMKV claims that there's no disc inserted. Other times, I get something like this:

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Oh my God...it's totally working. Time to pick up a USB hub with its own power source, I suppose, as my new PC totally doesn't have enough spare USB ports to devote two to this thing all the time. I'll let this thing hog my front USB ports in the meantime, though.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 3:57 amI don't think the drive is getting enough power.

I'm glad I thought to mention the USB hub, and I'm glad you answered so quickly. I was really worried that maybe this drive wouldn't be as reliable as the Asus drive I was using for ripping regular Blu-rays, but it seems to be working now. Thanks!
D'oh. So, that's what that red light on the back meant. Haha. I probably could've figured this out had they included English instructions.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:07 amyeah defiantly power your drive light will be red it needs to be green always

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Meanwhile, ripping without any problems. But again here is my question about a newer firmware for a faster ripping 4k discs? The maximum speed I get is about 8x, perhaps 34 MB/s. I need about 35 minutes to rip Turtles Out Of The Shadows for example. Is a booster possible or another faster drive available?asmcom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:47 pmDo not change anything, leave as is.zittrig wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:27 pmThe drive arrived today. It's a BH16NS40 with firmware 1.02mk for WH16NS60.
Now, the first two 4K-BDs are ripped without any problems.
But in the MK-firmware file exists a version 1.03 for WH16NS60 and a 1.05 for BH16NS40 .... could it make sense to change to one of these younger versions? Is there any benefit?

No, that's about it. That is the fastest firmware. The norm is around 40-60 mins depending on size of disc.zittrig wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 9:47 amMeanwhile, ripping without any problems.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
I can't seem to get any sort of firmware flash to stick on my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3. Whenever I try updating firmware via SDF, it goes through the process, and it says its successful, but MakeMKV still keeps reading out the revision of "BU13". I've tried flashing the firmware through both the Command Line in windows, and previously mentioned SDF. Again, in both times, they say they were successful, but the revision doesn't change. I've also tried the Downgrade Tool, but whenever I try to run it, It comes up with the error "Valid ATAPI Device Cannot Be Found!!! F/W Model is "BD-RE BH14NS40"". Not sure why it's doing that.
I'm kind of at my wit's end here, I'm not entirely certain what I'm doing wrong, and as far as I can tell, this reader should be able to be flashed. It has Unencrypted firmware, and is on the MT1959 Platform. I'm relatively certain the drive was made post 2015 (the Japanese is kinda hard to decipher lol). I just don't know if I'm missing a step, doing something wrong, etc. Thank you for any help.

thats a BU40N use 1.03MK with encInferius7809 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 12:27 amI can't seem to get any sort of firmware flash to stick on my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3. Whenever I try updating firmware via SDF, it goes through the process, and it says its successful, but MakeMKV still keeps reading out the revision of "BU13". I've tried flashing the firmware through both the Command Line in windows, and previously mentioned SDF. Again, in both times, they say they were successful, but the revision doesn't change. I've also tried the Downgrade Tool, but whenever I try to run it, It comes up with the error "Valid ATAPI Device Cannot Be Found!!! F/W Model is "BD-RE BH14NS40"". Not sure why it's doing that.
I'm kind of at my wit's end here, I'm not entirely certain what I'm doing wrong, and as far as I can tell, this reader should be able to be flashed. It has Unencrypted firmware, and is on the MT1959 Platform. I'm relatively certain the drive was made post 2015 (the Japanese is kinda hard to decipher lol). I just don't know if I'm missing a step, doing something wrong, etc. Thank you for any help.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Hey, thanks for the reply. I was using the unencrypted commands because SDF had said it was unencrypted. But using the encrypted commands worked and I'm in business, thank you! I didn't realize the part of the guide included my firmware as one of the encrypted ones.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:33 amthats a BU40N use 1.03MK with encInferius7809 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 12:27 amI can't seem to get any sort of firmware flash to stick on my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3.
