I almost threw away a Verbatim drive with a faulty enclosure until I decided to open it and discovered it was a Pioneer UD03 inside. The manufacture date is 2011 on the sticker, but the firmware date is 2018.

Drive information as follows:

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Current profile: BD-RE
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Revision: 1.11
Serial number: SJDL272698WL
Firmware date: 2018-11-28
Bus encryption flags: 1B

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.11
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

Disc Information
Data capacity: 93.22 Gb
Needless to say I instantly pulled it out of its enclosure and put it in another one. I'd love to get this cross-flashed to a UD04 and would appreciate any instructions on how to do this.

Thanks.

Hello Billy,

My flashed Verbatim Lg-Drive seems to have some Hash errors with a few BDs.
So I would try my older Verbatim Pioneer.
Can you help me to unleash it for UHD?
Thank you in advance from Germany

Yes, I think. You should also post your "Drive platform" and firmware date.
