Since that drive has the MT1939 chipset, it is too old to support ripping UHDs. If you try to flash it you'll brick the drive.

Yep, as dcoke22 and Billycar11 said, this drive is too old (2014 model & MT1939 drive platform) to be flashed for UHD compatibility. It is already libredrive enabled (helpful for standard blu-ray) which is the best it will ever get.
Cheers :D
