Hello
I managed to get a bit newer version of UD02D Pioneer drive (HW:1.02, SW:1.02).
Here's how sticker on top looks like (BDR-UD02DTBD) :
I attach it's capabilities to this message :
Would like to dump it's firmware before flashing, but so far no program I tried allows that :/
Any ideas ?
Eventually, I want to libredrive it, and (if possible) make it into UD03/UD04 4k capable drive (assuming a bit newer hardware revision allows that ?)
Thank you

Drive Information
OS device name: H:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-UD02D
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: NCDL107266WL
Firmware date: 2014-02-10
Bus encryption flags: 1B
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8410
Firmware version: ID84
I was able to use this drive to read/rip UHD blurays directly out of the box. No firmware update needed.
Then at some point in the last couple of years it stopped reading UHD. I have no idea why. I never made any sort of update to the drive, always used on a system running Linux Mint. The drive still works fine with regular Bluray and DVD.
I originally installed MakeMKV from source code. Later I removed and reinstalled using either the version in the Linux repository or Flatpak, not sure which. Updated to latest MakeMKV version. Not sure if the drive stopped working for UHD after changing version. Today I removed and reinstalled again from source code downloaded from MakeMKV.com. BDR-212T still doesn't read UHD.
Any idea why it worked for many months with UHD and then suddenly stopped? Can functionality be recovered with new flash or other procedure?
Thank you, drive info below.
