Hi, there. I recently purchased Pioneer drive on eBay, drive label is BDR-209DBK and makemkv info is:

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-209D
Revision: 1.34
Serial number: ...
Firmware date: 2016-04-25
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8600
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-209
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.34/ID61
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

No disc inserted

Is it possible to patch/cross-flash this drive to read UHD or not? And, if it is possible to patch/cross-flash, do I loose any original drive features if I do it?

Thanks for all the help in advance.

I scanned the forums but only see responses of "PM sent". I hate to be that guy, but is my BDR-209M compatible with UHD flashing?
