If your drive already had 1.02 & was patched/flashed before you received it, after flashing Omnidrive you will not see the firmware version change - Omnidrive firmware is a modified version of 1.02.

To clarify, if your drive already has the BU40N 1.00 firmware, flashing to Omnidrive will indeed leave the firmware version unchanged even if the flash succeeds, which may have been the source of the confusion. My apologies if this was unclear.
Thanks so much! You've been super helpful. Gonna try getting down to 1.00 just for sanity's sake.
