SDFtool Flasher

If I do that then the drive doesn't read 4Ks or blu ray discs. With BP50 it at least still reads blu ray discs. Do you know what went wrong? I followed the steps exactly and even watched the tutorial video on the first page of this post.

My drive is actually WP50NB40 but the instructions say for WP/BP. It shouldn't matter right?

You should be doing this:

WP/BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK

I did that but when I flashed to 1.00 my drive wouldn't even read blu ray or 4K. I got it to read blu ray again when flashed back to 1.01. You think I should try flashing to 1.02?

Hello
I have an LG WH16NS40 drive (rev 1.05), version 1.17.4 of MakeMKV installed. I am trying to run SFDtool Flasher and I get a Microsoft .NET error of Unhandled exception. If I continue past the error the app loads but the select drive box is blank. MakeMKV sees the drive correctly as a MT1959 platform. I am running Windows 11. Is the error because of Win11?


Thanks

Hi everyone! I ran into the same issue as Lazarus. The solution is straightforward—just download the latest version of MakeMKV and install it with administrator permissions. That fixed the problem for me.

I spent almost two hours getting it to work, and I can confirm the issue (and the fix) applies to both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
