Need firmware for flashing BD-RW BDR-212M

#1 Post by diron » Thu Aug 06, 2026 2:38 pm

Hi, I am new to the forum but have been using MakeMKV with a different drive for a while. I just bought a BD-RW BDR-212M from Japan, it works fine but the firmware seems to not be compatible with UHD. I think it can be flashed so I was hoping I could get the necessary files for this model from this forum :)

I don't know if I should post the whole MakeMKV output for the drive model and firmware. I think these are the relevant ones: Kernel Type: ID56 / Hardware Rev: SAT 8F00

If more info is needed, tell me and I can post it. Thanks in advance.

Only Billy can help you as this firmware is too new for the flasher.
