The biggest difference between my drive and the common ones is that its firmware is "E116", compared to the often-seen ones with "E114" or "E115" firmware. But since the LibreDrive is enabled, I put an UHD disc inside. Surprisingly, after a while of reading, MakeMKV just simply told me that there is "No Disc" inside. That's awful. What should I do, or which firmware should I patch since its chip is not MT1959?

Could you send me that PM again? I haven't got time to see that. Thanks!

Sorry. Look elsewhere. Half a year after sending the firmware right away you lost youir window of opportunity. I just dislike slow people who ask for help and then disappear.

I bought an ASUS Drive too and it doesn't support the MediaTek Chipset Flashing as well. Would love some help. Couldn't get help from Billycar because the payment method isn't available to me. I heard to ask for Coopervid.

Drive Information:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1H-U
Revision: E116
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 68

LibreDrive Information:
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8F00
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-212T
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: E116/ID71
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

At the moment, UHD Blu-ray discs are not recognized by the drive.

Could you please let me know if this drive can be sidegraded for UHD support and, if so, send me the appropriate instructions/firmware?
