It doesn't need flashing. It is UHD compatible as is. The only reason to flash it, would be to remove the sleep bug, which isn't really necessary anyway. If you want to flash it, use WH16NS60 1.02-MK.
It would appear that I was being a colossally absent-minded person by forgetting to check the latest LibreDrive compatibility list. Thank you, and my apologies.
BH16NS55 1.02 was one of the original drive firmwares that are UHD friendly out of the box. My first UHD capable drive was a BH16NS55 on it's original v1.02 firmware purchased at the end of 2017! I still have that drive too (along with an original WH16NS60), just put away as I now only use my Pioneer drives.
Cheers :D

I said "latest LibreDrive list" not because I believed support was recently added, but simply because I forgot to check the list altogether. :oops: I added "latest" just as a way of wording it.

...Not to mention, I read a lot and am usually pretty good at finding the right information, and I've seen a decent amount of optical drives in my life, but I have less experience than people who have probably "worked" on 100+ drives. I also probably wouldn't be able to fully memorize that LibreDrive list. :mrgreen:
