Hi, I bought an ASUS BW-16D1H-U PRO, how can I flash it to UHD drive?

Previously I flashed my LG BH16NS40 (NS50) using cmd commands but this drive has problems with reading 3 layer discs. Sometimes it reads them sometimes throws errors "L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR" and sometimes it doesn't work at all (making a strange sound).
