BD-RE WH14NS40 - Flashing Stuck at 0%

Post by Brightonrock » Fri Dec 12, 2025 2:39 am

Hello folks,

I needed to replace my BD-RE WH14NS40 as it finally bit the dust and I purchased a new one. When I try and flash it using the FlashIt tool, it stays stuck at 0%. I tried a few different firmwares in the "downgrade enabled V.2" pack.

Here is some additional information on my drive.

Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH14NS40
Revision: 1.05
Firmware date: 2120-05-06 14:44

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Use either MakeMKV CLI or SDFtool Flasher GUI.
Cheers :D

That fixed me up. I was able to put on WH16NS40 1.2. Sorry for the bother and thanks for the quick response!

You would be better off with WH16NS60 1.02-MK, which is the recommended firmware for your drive (or WH16NS60 1.00 if you use 'other' UHD ripping software) as the NS60 firmware reads faster and removes the UHD disc sleep bug.
Cheers :D
