I am new to this so please excuse me for my ignorance.
I recently purchased a Pioneer BDR-S13J-X on Amazon and to my surprise it wasn't able to rip any of my 4k BD.
Basically it isn't Libre enabled.
Can someone kindly guide me to where I can get the old firmware from and the tool to flash my drive.
I'm 67 years young and have rudimentary tech knowledge.
sadly there is no way to downgrade it.
you have to Buy a pioneer from a seller in your region with old fw see below if you in the usa or see seller section for other regions

You can't. Firmwares starting Dec. 2022 can't be enabled anymore.

Thank you very much. Worked like a charm, just in few clicks.

I did a quick search but didn't see this drive info come up for support. Here's my details:
Drive Information
OS device name: K:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-XS07U
Revision: 1.03
Serial number: [redacted]
Firmware date: 2023-01-06
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 78
LibreDrive Information

I currently cannot rip UHDs - any chance to get this drive supported?
Thanks!
