Why is everyone paying for this firmware flasher? PM me and I can give it to you for free.
I don't know.

Perhaps the others are thinking about the effort of other people who worked on a very special and great tool?

Because the author of said tool asked that it not be shared.

I see below drive information yet makemkv only shows it as a blu ray disc.
Timestamp: 2017-11-15 13:36:48
Protection: AACS2.0/C v61
Data capacity: 74.34 Gb
Disc type: BD-ROM UHD
Number of layers: 3
Am I doing something wrong or makemkv only shows blu ray for a UHD+Bluray disc?

Try to rip the disc. Everything is fine.

Bought ASUS SBW-06D2X-U, but it seems it is Pioneer drive inside. And on the box there is an info that it can write BDXL discs, but when I'm inserting blank BDXL - it is trying to read it for 3 seconds, then stops. It is possible to unlock BDXL burning?
Thanks.
