ASUS BW-16D1X-U - Flashable?

Re: ASUS BW-16D1X-U - Flashable?
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).

Re: ASUS BW-16D1X-U - Flashable?
First time poster,
I had no problem finding information how to flash my Verbatim branded LG BU40N drive.That now reads UHD disks.
But finding the same information for my ASUS branded drive to read UHD disks have been a challenge.
