I also have a Pioneer BDR-UD03. I wanted to make it UHD friendly I flashed the drive with the files for the BDR-UD03. Thu Gui program said success, but nothing changed. It still sees BD only not UDH.
Should i use the BDR-UD04 flash files?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Joris222

I cross flashed my UD03 with the freemkv flasher.

I downloaded this flashing tool https://freemkv.org/firmware/flash/
and this firmware https://freemkv.org/firmware/find/?driv ... ision=1.14

Go to the flash tab, choose firmware and pick the file. Press Flash now and it will run a few tests and back up the original firmware, then confirm if you want to proceed. It will flash and then run some tests to check it's working and it's done.
