This happens when people don't read the fool-proof tutorial. Which I always outline in capital letters. You must have picked only one file - the kernel - and now your drive is in kernel mode. So read it and start BDRFlash again and pick BOTH files!!

Hi Coopervid,

I did everything exactly how is in your tutorial, picked both files, checked "Force flash", but it did not work.

Your firmware is to new (younger than 11/2022). You have to ask Billy, as he offers a flasher for these drives for free. viewtopic.php?p=206018#p206018
