Hey Billy,

I didn't know who contributed to the development of the flasher.
I recently saw that Coopervid sends PM to those who needs help. I would appreciate it if either of you sends me a PM on how to flash to my drive.

Hello, first of all thanks for the amazing community

I might be a bit redundant but I am also an owner of Pioneer BDR-S09 (bought as XLT)

Makemkv is describing it as follows but when I try to put a UHD disc into it, disc is not recognized and after a while I have a "no disc" message

Is there a way to get it working ? Problem is that it is "last" official firmware.

Thanks in advance
