LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[Coopervid]

Can anyone let me know what I need to do for this so that it can be used for UHD discs? Looks like the firmware is before the encryption, but I still can't read UHD discs. - Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry to ask again but was just wondering considering the firmware is encrypted is it possible to edit the binary of an older firmware and change the version info on it to fool the updater that its a newer firmware?

Thanks

No, been there, tried that. Plus many other things.

What about using a usb firmware flasher. There must be a rom chip you can clamp.

It's 128 pins is there a clamp for those?

I'm not sure. I've flashed motherboard bios chips before but nothing like this.

I received a PM, but can not reply yet as I am too new here.. lol

so does this drive need to be flashed to XD06 to make it work with UHD ?

Try. It should work.

I found one of these drives that I never got around to using. Did you end up trying to flash it to XD06 as suggested? How does one flash a BDR-XD05 to XD06 so it can read UHD discs? I'm having trouble understanding how that part would work. I'm willing to roll the dice on it since I didn't even realize I had this drive until today.
