Thank you coopervid!

I have confirmed functionality with UHD discs.

To others, this BDR-212V drive was purchased on eBay as "Compatible Pioneer BDR-212DBK" and when received, has a good quality fake sticker. I did not open the case but considering that this firmware is working, it is likely a relabel or reshell to increase seller profits and reduce returns with 3-4 week overseas shipping.

I'm new to this, can I flash this unit? I would appreciate some instructions. I tried the SDF tool and it had a big red X.
Thank you!

I would very much like the same. BDR-212V, but no disc when trying to read a UHD.

What else, if anything, do I need to post to get the guide?

Thanks!
