Okie today i just flashed my 5 sets of the Pioneer 212 Family of drives to the Latest Version Firmware available. they were all various models 212m,212v,S12U and whatever nots..
I used the X12U, Version 1.07, Dated on 2023-08-01 Firmware to flash them all.. and guess what? all are still "LibreDrive Enabled" and MakeMKV v2.0.0 can still "Rip 4k UHD's" Plus i can also play the 4K Uhd Movie straight up from the drives.

Do check the Drive F serial number to verify as proof. Alot of things can be achieved very easily with MattJackson's Free Flasher.

You don't want to go flashing drive's willy nilly. They only have a certain amount of flashes. At least the LG one's do anyway. I wouldn't be risking any of my Pioneer drives! Once they have UHD compatible firmware, leave them alone.
