I'm pulling out what's left of my hair.
I have an LG WP50NB40 NB52 that I'm spinning my tires on. I'm using the SDFtool Flasher v1.3.4 to flash the drive. I've tried flashing HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-NM00800-212005070917.bin from the "All that you need firmware pack" to get to stage one of these steps (mainly because I ran into a roadblock sourcing "BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK") :
NB52 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with enc > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with bootloader/full flash > BP60NB10 1.00_HBD from Marty
The only reason I figure I'm failing is that no matter what I do, and how many times I'm "successful" per SDFtool, BP60NB10 1.00_HBD never takes hold (see link below). For the life of me don't know where I'm going wrong. I'm not new to flashing devices but this is completely evading me.

No, no, no..... No need for the bootloader or my old HBD firmware! All of the required firmware files can be found in the MK firmware pack. Here is the link:

Here is what to do.:
1. Flash your WP50NB40-NB52-1.03 to BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-MK (or WP50B40-NB50-1.03-MK).
2. For the second flash it is a little different. Select the recovery option.
3. In the popup select the same firmware file that you just previously flashed.
4. Now in the normal firmware selection dropdown box select the firmware you want on the drive (I use either BP60NB10 1.00-MK or BU40N 1.00).
5. Press START and wait around 30 seconds until the process has fully completed and the flasher says "Ready..."
That's it! Easy peasy!!
