Thanks so much for these, Marty!! It's really appreciated!! :D

Will the BP50NB40 1.03 firmware work for a BP55EB40 SVC: EB52 as well?
These original flashers only work for that particular model, so no.
Cheers :D

Just curious, probably won't ever need these original flashers. My BH16NS55 is crossflashed to WH16NS60. If I ever was to downgrade to original FW, which original flasher should I use. 55 or 60? I assume 55 or is workflow first crossflash back to 55 and then apply original 55 flasher?
LG BH16NS55 (crossflashed w/ WH16NS60 1.02MK) in external enclosure
LG BU40N (1.03MK) in external enclosure
LG BU40N (original 1.00)
Verbatim #43888 (Pioneer BDR-UD04 FW1.14)
Pioneer BDR-208D (crossflashed w/ BDR-S11JX/BDR-211)

There's a LG universal flashing tool which recognize the right model or firmware by itself.

Well you didn't say which original firmware. If you want to go back to original NS55 firmware, you would first have to flash a NS55 MK version that is lower than the original NS55 flasher firmware version, then use the NS55 original flasher.

Yes thanks. I meant back to original NS55, which the drive label states it is :mrgreen: .

Would this tool know what is the truly original if the drive was crossflashed.

I can't say it just now. Check it out, it will talk to you before you can start the flashing process.

It could be that it recognize the WH16NS60-Firmware and will take this as base for the flashing.

If you're unsure with useing the tool I can test it later after work with a BH16NS55 @ WH16NS60 1.02MK and report back here.

Or Marty can say it here right now with a lot more of expierience.

No, it would go by what the firmware is on the drive. If NS60 firmware, it would think the drive is a NS60.
Cheers :D

Hi everyone,

If anyone is looking for the original BU40N 1.05 firmware, here is the official LG Updater exe.

https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/ ... r.zip/file

Only use this to restore your BU40N back to the original 1.05 firmware. This firmware is not UHD enabled!
Cheers :D
