Instructions for BDR-XD05S

Post by DangDandDoop »

Hello,

I have looked for hours and can not find the files to flash this Pioneer BDR-XD05S drive.

I can use the command line if needed.

Can anyone help? Not sure why this isn't more publicity available.

The Pioneer flashing tools/firmware are not publicly available. Email your MakeMKV drive info & libredrive info sections to Billycar11.
Cheers :D

Or you can support people who put actual work and money into figuring out pioneer fw for both before and after 12/22 fw

Sure email me that drive info section see below for email

For all others there is no need to post your makemkv drive info section publicly just email it to me directly for pioneers
