BU40N with "GC02" firmware, flashes report success but never commit

[NahalielBriathos]

Has anyone manage to flash a BU40N with the GC02 firmware? Every time that I try, it never commits.
Every flash attempt with 1.03MK reports full success via makemkvcon rawflash/enc on Linux. After every cold boot, makemkvcon -l still reports GC02, unchanged.

Drive ID: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_GC02_211801310916_KZBI5NB5212

Any help is greatly appreciated

Likely no enc
See guide below
Or email me or Marty for an automated flasher.

Here is the complete command that I ran:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr0 -f sdf.bin rawflash enc -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin

No ENC!!! rawflash main

That worked, thank you!

My bad.. I thought you meant that I tried the command without the enc param when you said no enc.. should've read the guide more carefully.
