Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Hey guys,

MakeMKV shows the following informations:
i already downloaded the newest version of the SDFtool Flasher and the current mk firmware pack. Can i just use the SDFtool and which firmware to i need to flash from the mk firmware pack to be able to play and rip 4k uhd blu rays ? I still want to be able to rip normal 1080p blu rays as well if thats possible.
greetings and thanks for the help![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Have you tried running the flasher as Admin?

So? Install .NET and retry.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Hey all,
Just purchased a BP50NB40, and started the UHD flashing process.
I first flashed with the MK firmware using the SDF Flash tool (from the "The all you need firmware pack", and the following is what I've got:
Looks good.
I then attempted to flash the BP60NB10 firmware. SDFTool gives me the following warning, but then proceeds to flash "OK". However, when opening MakeMKV, there's no change to the firmware - hence no UHD for me.
Have I missed something?
