Hello, is there a better firmware for my recorder (UHD friendly, sleep bug)? If so, which one should I flash? Thank you.

You take everything for granted, don't you?

You take everything for granted, don't you?

No, not really. But I don't want to destroy my burner either. I'll just install the latest MK 1.04 version for the burner. Thanks for your answer anyway.

Edit: I've already read up a lot on the subject, but I haven't really got my head around it. I just wanted to find the best firmware for my burner. But it's difficult on my own.

I'm trying to flash an LG BP60NB10 drive. This is my first attempt at a flash, so go easy on me.

Here's the drive info:

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/rdisk5
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BP60NB10
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: SIM04OAGE4325
Firmware date: 2121-07-08 15:56
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 76

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Hardware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)

I'm following the steps for Mac. When I tried to flash to the firmware provided in the all-you-need pack, I got this:

Code: Select all

Drive "/IOBDServices/D5D25996" not found

After rechecking the guide, I saw that the drive was using encrypted firmware, so I grabbed the MK version but got the same result.

Obviously, I'm missing something. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Oop, I forgot to mention that. When I type in the command in Step 6, I see this

Found 1 drives(s)

Shouldn't it also be showing me the ID as well?

Solved. For anyone else having the same issue: Just make sure your drive is connected directly to your mac and not a USB bank.

The latest version as of now (1.17. is unable to flash firmware, at least on linux.
The steps to do this on linux is
1. Install the latest version of makemkv
2. Copy the needed libraries to a temporary dir

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/Downloads && cp /usr/lib/libmakemkv.so.1 /usr/lib/libdriveio.so.0 ~/Downloads

3. Uninstall makemkv (E.g sudo pacman -R makemkv)
4. Download makemkv-1.17.6.tar.gz (https://www.makemkv.com/download/old/ma ... 7.6.tar.gz)
5. Extract it to a certain location (for example Downloads):

Code: Select all

 
cd ~/Downloads && tar -xzf makemkv-bin-1.17.6.tar.gz

6. Install it

Code: Select all

cd makemkv-bin-1.17.6 && sudo make install

7. DONE. Flashing should now work again.

In order to install a newer version run

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/bin/makemkvcon /usr/bin/sdftool /usr/share/MakeMKV/* /usr/lib/libdriveio.so.0 /usr/lib/libmakemkv.so.1
