			I had previously purchased a Pioneer BDR-212DBK and have received the firmware link from Coopervid for that drive.   I have purchased another drive which is the Pioneer BDR-212V.  Can I use the same firmware that I already have for the 212DBK to flash 212V to unlock UHD capabilities on the 212V?  Is the firmware update the same for all 212 drives?

Is this flashable to use Libredrive?
If so, what do I need to do next?
