Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024

[Jeannozt]

Dear all

hope that somebody can help me.
I mean that my drive is a LG BU40N

I've tried to flash him via MAC OS
All has worked as described, but I'm still not allowed to copy UHD disks



Thanks a lot for any help

Your drive is not flashed be sure to use enc

Hello what do you mean with use enc

I have the Pioneer BDR-S12UHT recorder and player. Read original UHD blu-ray but could not play due to processor issue.
The problem is that I want to remove the anti copy with MakeMKV and I get the error shown in the image. Is this model compatible?
or the error is due to something else that I do not know.

a greeting.

Read through the UHD FAQ, particularly the Hashed Keys section.

Hi guys!

Just wanted to say awesome job on mkv and the work in the background first of all!

I just got an lg wh16ns60 uhd drive and was hoping a little help for the patching/flashing of this.
I have some photos here as follows:

[MrTCT83]

This is the case and circuit board of it,with the flasher gui and the firmware that may be the ones for me. I was hoping to not get the sleep bug,so i wondered the DE firmware. Also wondered if the rom/drive will eventually call it a night after a while or is this just a rumor. As you can see i have the 2 firmware that seem relevant to me in the same folder as the gui(or if i should go with some other firmware in the firmware packs,but is it better have the folder on my system hdd or does it not matter. Just wanted to show the case,and/or if i have to install it directly to the cabinet or is this case ok?. And when i start the gui is it something i need to check like enc or make a dump of original?

I have read a bunch so i hope i have understood correctly,thanks

TC.

The WH16NS60 does not have the sleep bug.

WH16NS60 1.03 is an encrypted firmware. Don't use 1.03-MK as 1.02-MK is far better, so flash it to WH16NS60 1.02-MK. You could either leave it on 1.02-MK or flash to DE WH16NS60 1.00. The latest version of SDFtool Flasher will autoamatically detect and apply the encrypted firmware flag for you.

[MrTCT83]

Great!

Thanks @MartyMcNuts i flashed it to 1.02 - MK,then DE 1.00. Is it possible to go back to 1.02 - Mk if i want later?

[MrTCT83]

Hi again!

It cant read the discs or open on DE 1.00 firmware.Tried two movies and one is not detected at all,the other is detected and but fails to open. (ready player one and prince of darkness is the movies btw)

[MrTCT83]

PS: The reason i wanted to go so you know on the DE firmware and not MK was so i could use it on dvdfab and anydvd so on in the future. But i think all i need is to be able to use it with mkv. It is the one i mostly use anyways

Try cleaning your discs. It is rare for a UHD disc to not need cleaning as more often than not there can be an invisible to the eye film residue left on the disc from processing. First, try wiping the disc with a microfibre cloth. If it still won't read, try a more thorough cleaning using sopay water and dry with a microfibre cloth.

Lines 5 & 6 are what you need to take notice of. Line 6 tells you that the VUK for this disc is unknown and can't be decrypted. Line 5 tells you that MakeMKV has saved a dump file for you to send in.

Before doing any of this, please make sure that you have checked the box to allow MakeMKV internet access in preferences so that the VUK's for UHD discs can be downloaded. You cannot decrypt any UHD discs without them.

Once you have enabled internet access, try again.

That was it:)

I can post a later time just to confirm it,but so long so good.

Thanks so much for all your help!

Can someone share the makeMKV command line to flash this drive to 1.03 or to 1.00. I have seen the videos but none specific for the MD-8107s-U3YC-UHD. I know it’s a LG BU40N and I’ve been told downgrading to 1.00 will work but if upgrading to 1.3 works as well that is fine. I don’t want to screw this up. I downloaded the latest MakeMKV, I have the updated .Net. My drive is running 1.02 firmware and I’m looking to play my 4K discs. Can someone help a novice work thru this. Any help is appreciated. My cd drive is drive E:

PS I feel very stupid not being able to figure this out. Thanks
