hey fellas. i just purchased the same LG drive as Dave77. i'd like to start using my drive to backup my 4k collection and after reading this thread i just wanted to get confirmation that im using the right tool and firmware. i've grabbed the zip file containing the asus tool and firmware. so if i use the asus tool and this firmware:
"DE_LG WH16NS60_1.00.bin" i'll get good to go?

spl147 said to use the "Use the LG patched flasher" but i only see the asus one in the zip file..is that considered the same?
thanks guys, i appreciate everything you all do for this group

V1.01 is going to be supported soon apparently, might be worth waiting a bit.

Cool. Thanks Dave. I'd rather not flash and run the risk of screwing up the drive.
Thanks again.

Correct. FYI, Both the modified ASUS tool and the LG tool do the same thing.
Cheers :D

Hi Folks,

I have just bought a WH14NS40 with SVC: NS50 and firmware 1.03 manufactured in November 2018.

Is this the correct forum thread or should I buy the WH16NS60 instead?

Thanks,

Paully

No. If you try, bad things happen. See:

Now THAT one's possible... fairly straight forward.

I'm running a pc on Windows 10.
I have a brand new LG WH16NS60 v1.01 installed in a USB3.0 drive case. This was purchased because it was indicated on the forum that this is one of the "official" supported UHD drives.
I've tried to use the latest version of MakeMKV to read many of my 4kUHD movie discs. All have failed with a SCSI read error.

Step-by-step, what exactly do I need to do in order to get this "official" drive to work with MakeMKV and my library of 4kUHD discs.

Do I need to mount it internally?
Do I need to change the firmware?
Do I need to install LibreDrive?

Please ... provide guidance and instructions, along with any appropriate links.
