Currently in the 43890's factory state I put in a 4K disc and it spins it a few times then spits it out. It reads HD discs, but spits out UHD/4K discs.

I have the opportunity to go get one of these. As of now, are they still flashable for UHD?

Just got the flash today and it worked first try. Thank you coopervid!!

I did the flash on a PC, but I'm using makemkv on a mac. Getting macos Sequoia to playback .mkv files properly with the HDR tone mapping to my display was a separate ordeal. I finally got it to work with Movist Pro.

Got my blu-ray collection backed up with this drive. All was well, but apparently, it won't work for 4K. Any help would be greatly appreciated if possible.

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of this flasher? I picked up one of these drives and would love to get it reading UHD as well. Thanks!

Post your Makemkv info.
How much should the firmware cost? I'm trying to decide which is more worthwhile.
I don't charge for it but you are free to send some bucks as appreciation.
I was now able to buy a 43890.
