Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
good evening.
I am new to downgrade the firmware. I think that according to what I have read in this forum, my recorder that I attach a photo cannot downgrade the firmware to read and record BD XL. It is right?
A cheer.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Seeing as the date listed on the drive is two years prior to the introduction of the UHD standard, that's a good guess - the drive just isn't capable of UHD.

I just wanted to make sure I didn't want to downgrade the firmware and mess up the recorder.
All the best.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Hello, I got a BP60NB10 and I want to patch it, I downloaded the firmware from the cloud:"HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin". But I'm not sure use encrypted firmware commands or use unencrypted firmware one, Thank you

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Hardware is (pre-Oct 2015) too old to support UHD & the current FW supports LibreDrive. Best to leave it be.jeaveci55 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 2:41 pmHello, (sorry for my english)

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
I've tried reading earlier in this forum, but I just can't seem to piece together what I need to do.
I just got a BP60NB10 with 1.02 firmware and SVC: NB12.
What are the benefits of flashing the firmware on this drive, and how would I go about doing it (I see several warnings about NB12)?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Hello, forgive me if I missed the point entirely but could you kindly tell me what does the section "drives that Currently work are:" mean?
Does it mean that any of the drives listed under that section, for example BDR-XD07UHD Slim, will be able to rip 4K discs with MakeMKV out of the box and no flashing/ decrypting or whatever is necessary?
Thank you

I just purchased this same drive from microcenter admittedly thinking it was a different model #. That's my bad 100%
I'm doing a lot of reading on the forum and a lot of posts I'm reading are from 2019 so I'm curious to know what's changed in the last 2.5 - 3 years? I can see in 2019 the bp60nb10 was pretty much.... a non-starter.
So I'm hoping that it will be okay now?
I am quite new to this community, so I apologize ahead of time for asking questions from the perspective of someone just getting started and catching up on years of work here. I'll do my best to get caught up to speed! But responses would be awesome!!!

If you want to be able to rip UHD discs with your drive, flash it to BP60NB10 1.02-MK and that's it.xbmchermit wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 4:03 amI've tried reading earlier in this forum, but I just can't seem to piece together what I need to do.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
Most likely yes. Most firmware versions for those Pioneer models are supported. Occasionally someone will have one of those models with an older (or extremely new) firmware that may need updating via Pioneer's firmware updater. You will know as soon as you try opening a disc in MakeMKV.Renovatio wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 1:58 pmHello, forgive me if I missed the point entirely but could you kindly tell me what does the section "drives that Currently work are:" mean?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022
So bdr-xd07tuhd drive should be able to rip UHD no problem? Sorry if I am double asking, it is just I saw posts from feb 2022 stating that this drive does not work for ripping UHD and I am not sure when it was added to the list of compatible drives in thos post.
