I want to upgrade the firmware

Since, I am on a Mac, I am trying to use the sdftool from the CLI.
This the drive info from sdftool

Thank you for your help!

Add enc to the command line... 2020+ FWs are encrypted.

LG BP60Nb10 with SVC NB12 using a Mac M1 to flash. I have followed the guide and to no avail! MakeMKV tells me the disk cannot be decrypted. I have tried 3 different LG firmware options out of the all you need firmware pack. Can someone point me in the right direction? Which exact firmware should I be selecting?

Thank you for the tip. Before I brick my drive, is the command now supposed to look like this:

./sdftool rawflash enc --drive=HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_1.02_212012011716_MO6M2QB3331 --sdf-file=/Users/username/Downloads/The\ all\ you\ need\ firmware\ pack/LG\ slim\ BU40N/sdf.bin -v

If that is in correct, may I have the exact command I should use?

Okay I tried that but it's still giving the libra drive error. Could it be that it's not the right firmware I chose?

[Billycar11]

post the Log cant help if i dont see what happened

[dcoke22]

It has been a while since I flashed a drive… do you need to power cycle the drive after the flash?

No it will show updated info right away but I do recommend powering it down after a flash
