Are the lg bp60nb10 slims still a one step flash ? I’m sure the answer is on the forum but I’ve been reading for hours and can’t find it and am not sure how to query it in search to find the answer , thanks

Several years ago I bought an ASUS BC-12D2HT but never got around to using it. I just pulled it out of it's packaging and set it up in my PC. I've been searching and browsing for definitive instructions on what I should do about flashing the firmware for UHD ripping. After much confusion I figured I'd try to rip a 4k Blu Ray, just to see what happens. I put in Jurassic Park and opened MakeMKV. It was able to read and rip the disc, no firmware flashing necessary. It's on firmware rev 3.0. Should I still flash the firmware, and if so, which one should I use? Is this a pre-encrypted firmware?

Here are the drive details:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is working for your needs, I wouldn't flash it.

Hello I just bought an ASUS BW16D1X-U and it will not read 4K Blu Ray disks, the drive platform is RS8601. I have read several posts on this form and from what I have read it is possible to flash the drive but it requires a special flasher. Any assistance would be very welcome.

Thank you for the guide! It's satisfying being able to copy 4k movies directly to my hard drive.

Thanks , was looking in the newest post on all the different threads , never occurred to my old feeble mind that it was still the same, I always assume things evolve , guess I should quit assuming , thanks again

Hi Team,

I bought a new Verbatim 43888 from eBay.
I just unboxed it and see the below details.

What do I need to do here to rip 4k discs?
Thinking of keeping this as a spare after getting one from MartyMcnuts a couple of weeks ago.
Did I get lucky or unlucky here?

It sees a 4k disc (Escape From New York) but won't rip it.
