if you have access to a pc email me that drive info and i can sell you an automated flasher for $25
I suspected this could be the case. How unfortunate. I could probably get access to my wife's PC at her work. Is it a simple procedure?
very simple but not sure if you want to do that

Hi again, i have a question:
how is it possible that the drive is now capable of read 4k Ultra HD disk?
should be physically impossible!

The hardware was always capable. Your original firmware was just "crippled".

Libre drive information doesn't pull up for that drive for some reason, but for other drives it does. Does that mean its not supported?
