Asus BW16D-1HT FW v 3.11

[carrpet]

Hi there
I have just bought a new Asus BW16D-1HT drive and it has latest FW v3.11 installed and I don't think there is yet an MK version of this ?
SDFtool recognises the FW as encrypted but will not install v3.10MK.
Please advise on a way forward. Thanks in advance !

If it's attached via USB try it on SATA.

I just did one of these a few months back while connected via USB (OWC Mercury Pro enclosure). Did you check the little box on the left (I believe it's called "Include Boot Loader?")?

Hi, I just attempted to flash one of these drives on Linux using the instruction given here.

I.e., I executed

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_00000096.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash -i mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/ASUS/BW-16D1HT/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin

Even though the operation allegedly finished successfully, makemkv says after a power cycle:

Code: Select all

Is this drive simply not supported at the moment?

3.11 is encrypted so add enc after rawflash.

[reifenkauer]

3.11 is encrypted so add enc after rawflash.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks!

Just for completeness sake, this is the command that worked:

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_00000096.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash enc -i mk-firmware-pack-20200720/MK/ASUS/BW-16D1HT/ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
