Firmware Flashing for BW-16D1HT

#1 Post by ecardanha » Mon Apr 01, 2024 7:17 pm

Hello,

I just bought the Asus BW-16D1HT and wanted to confirm I'm doing this right for flashing.

Command I was planning to use

.\makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i C:\mk-firmware-pack-20200720\mk-firmware-pack-20200720\MK\ASUS\BW-16D1HT\ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin

Downloaded the firmware from this thread --- viewtopic.php?f=19&t=19113 --- https://www.makemkv.com/download/mk-fir ... 200720.zip

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1HT
Revision: 3.11
Serial number: xxxxxxxxxxx
Firmware date: 2120-12-01 17:59
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 76

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

Drive is in a USB Drive Enclosure --- I purchased a OWC Mercury Pro Enclosure for 5.25" Optical Drive - OWCMR3UKIT

I figured I'd ask if these were the right steps before I try incase I am planning to do something incorrectly.

Thanks,
Evan

Ended up trying my above steps with the command shown above and the MK Firmware Pack and was successful, no issues so far and I was able to rip a 4K UHD.

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
Cheers :D
