Hi - sorry to hijack.

Re: Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable
I have the same drive and the flashing with the spf tool and version 1.03 worked flawlessly. Thanks for al the work and support!
Re: Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable
After doing this, I was still unable to rip newer UHD releases (4K James Cameron - Aliens, The Abyss, and True Lies all unreadable). I then cross-flashed to HL-DT-ST BD-RE BP60NB10 VERSION 1.0 - (libre-drive enabled). It is now reading the Cameron 4Ks, Aliens and Abyss have now ripped 4K Dolby-vision MKVs. True Lies is just about complete.

Re: Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable
hi, I flashed the DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin and i have the same issues, I can't read any 4kuhd, make mkv the other files but has problems with the streams.
Then i crossflashed to the DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.00_MK.bin, not better. Now makemkv had the most problems, can't read anything.
Then I flashed back to DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin, the flashertool flashed, but the drive didn't accepted that.
The drive is alsways the BP60 with 1.00
How can i flashe it back to a BU40Drive?

Re: Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable
Try recovery mode.
In the first selection menu choose the BP60 1.00 and in the second the BU40N 1.03MK.
Or try to flash to BP60 1.02MK and after this to BU40N 1.03MK.
