BH16NS58 help

[thebutton]

Flashed DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin with makemkvcon 1.17.6 via rawflash de,enc. Output: "Image already has DE byte set", both stages 100%, "Done successfully", rc=0. After a full 4-minute power-off the drive still reports BH16NS58 1.02 at SCSI inquiry and LibreDrive remains "Possible, not yet enabled". Log shows No SDF v0a6 for this drive and Drive Specific SDF not present throughout. makemkv.com has been down the whole time. Is the drive-specific SDF required for this drive, and is that why it isn't taking?

Not sure you need enc for that fw.

Email me or Marty for an automated flasher that will do it all for you.

Welcome to the forums Thebutton,

This is how I managed to successfully flash my drive, after having placed a copy of the appropriate firmware .bin file in the MakeMKV program folder - note that you used different (and presumably) incorrect parameters and you will need to adjust the drive letter:

I agree with Billy. If it's a BH16NS58 with 1.02 firmware, I believe it may very well be rawflash main, not rawflash enc. This 1.02 firmware should be from 2019, so before encrypted firmware started showing up for LG drives.

Therefore something like :

Code: Select all

makemkvcon.exe f --all-yes -d I: rawflash main -i DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin

Sounds more reasonable to me in this case.

EDIT : My bad, this is the Linux subforum, so it would be more like :

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f --all-yes -d /dev/sr0 rawflash main -i ./DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin

Replacing /dev/sr0 with the correct device path if needed.

Good catch - easy to miss when you're using the "New Posts" link. But is it then also worth pointing out that flashing may not work with MakeMkv versions post 1.17.7?

Normally, yes, it would be worth reminding people that Linux versions post 1.17.7 do not seem to work for firmware flashing. In this case however, I thought thebutton probably already knew about it :
