From the 1st post of the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023 > Unlocked Flashers, Downgrade Enabled Firmware and MK Firmware: section...
The latest version of the SDFtool Flasher has a checkbox option to flash the boot loader with the main firmware to the drive. This is useful for the newer BP50NB40 with SVC: NB52. It's also possible that other newer models may require this option later on. We will all work it out together as we go!!
For the moment, to flash the BP50NB40 SVC:NB52, using the latest SDFtool Flasher, follw the steps below:
1. Flash the drive to BP50NB40 (NB50) 1.03-MK.
Now for the crossflash:
2. Select the RECOVERY option and in the pop up, select the BP50NB40 (NB50) 1.03-MK firmware that you just flashed.
3. Select the BP60NB10 1.00-MK or BU40N 1.00 firmware in the normal drop box.
4. Click START
SDFtool Flasher
The all you need firmware pack

You cannot use this flasher as your drive has encrypted firmware. Use the SDFtool Flasher and:
1. flash the drive to WH16NS60 1.02-MK firmware.
2. flash to WH16NS58 v5 firmware.
Cheers

I tried several versions of SDFtool Flasher, and this util does not see any drive.
ASUS is connected to internal SATA of my z790 Motherboard.
I order external IDE/SATa to USB adapter and will try with it or may be connect to old PC (z87)

Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS60
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: K...
Firmware date: 2118-10-29 19:36
Bus encryption flags: 17

Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
the question is can I write next firmware I need - WH16NS58? I'm worried about the error code
P.S. WH16NS58 flashed without error
but some issues appeared
Opti drive started testing BD-Rs, yay.
but!!!
the drive cannot read BD-RE that was previously recorded by it and moreover does not respond to the disk eject button
Only rebooting the PC helps and the disk can be ejected before the computer starts reading it.

Yes, occasionally that error happens but it appears the flash has worked for you. Go ahead and do the second firmware flash.Stingray wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:22 amI reinstalled new MakeMkv and Sdtool flasher now able to found and read my ASUS.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 10:27 pmYou cannot use this flasher as your drive has encrypted firmware.

thank you
which of WH16NS58 FW is better?
I had BD-RE issues (unable to eject and read BD-RE) with WH16NS58 1v5
after that I reflashed with WH16NS58 1v5 mk version and it seems works good

The "PRO" is the exact same drive as the BW-16D1HT and has the exact same (identical) firmware. Use the SDFtool Flasher. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
Hello everyone, I am a new optical drive novice. I recently purchased ASUS BW-16D1HT, which was manufactured in February 2023. Version 3.11. Connect a SATA to USB port and an external power cord to the laptop. The Windows version is Win10. When I use ASUS-ODD-Changer_ (modify). exe, it shows update failure # 1. When I use SDFtool Flasher, it shows "The drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (MT1959) and cannot be flashed." How can this be resolved. Thank you very much. Please forgive me, my English level is not very good.
