LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[Yethidran]

i purposely flashed my X12U drive with a SAT Family of RS9001 with version 1.06, to become a BDR-212U with version 1.04 and SAT Family of RS8F01.

Apologies if already asked and answered elsewhere (I couldn't find with a search).

I have Pioneer BDR-212UHBK (from Japan) with following MakeMkv info:

Same either way with USB or direct SATA connection.

I tried submitting the firmware .tgz to MakeMkv support some time ago but no change since.

Any way to get this LibreDrive enabled? With UHD support?

Thanks

PM sent for flashing to 1.02 which is Libredrive and UHD capable.

Thanks for the software

However, it is failing with the below messages. I have tried multiple times as Administrator, antivirus off. Drive is left in kernel mode, but if repowered the original MakeMkv information is restored to apparently no update is made. Note theis is a BDR-212UHBK not BDR-212UBK or BDR-S12U. I have repeated the MakeMkv information below for reference. Thanks
