Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility

[Shish]

Hello, shot in the dark here as this was a pretty cheap external I bought for my blu rays but after it popped up that it had the BDR-UDO3 I figured I might as well see if it's UHD compatible. Thanks in advance!

Now what does Makemkv report? BP55EB40 -then it's an LG. But the sticker says UD03? Then the sticker is wrong and faked.

Yeah, so the drive reports as BP55EB40, scammed on ebay but got refund. I'm figuring if I can flash it wth the BDR-UD03TBD firmware it should operate.

This isn't my area of expertise

Sorry you are confused. This is a LG drive that can be flashed with a LG flasher, Pioneer drives require a completely different flasher.

Oh, as it was sold as LG, but contains a Pioneer, I hoped the pioneer firmware would solve.

Below is the drive within the bogus container

Sorry buddy! The label doesn't count. What counts is what Makemkv is reporting.
