Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives

[SamuriHL]

No need to mount it internally. Depending on your USB case, it should be flashable from there without issue.

Go there and get Marty's ASUS flasher.

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=19113

Go there and get Mike's MK firmware pack

Use the NS60 1.01 MK from Mike's zip and flash it with Marty's ASUS flasher in Windows and you should be good to go with LibreDrive.

Isn't it just worth waiting until 1.01 is supported, do we know when that will be?

It is supported on 1.01 with MK patched firmware

The official 1.01 closed the communication of libredrive, thats why the MK patched 1.01 was released

I see, thanks. I'd thought the standard 1.01 fw was going to be supported eventually

Official 1.00 is supported.

Flashing the patched firmware takes like 2 mins. And works perfectly!

I flashed my BU40N (v.1.02) and my WH16NS60 (v.1.01)with MK patched firmware

I'm using NS60 1.01 MK, as well. Works great.

Remember what really matters with a true "Official" drive is a the presence of the UltraHD Blu Ray logo.
So can anyone verify that with this interim MK firmware the BP60NB10 drive now works?
Is flashing over the USB port now possible?

I flashed both my BU40N and my WH16NS60 over usb, using vantec enclosures

That is something I would also like to know.
Still waiting for a response from support, for a long time now.

Try it and see. I have a feeling the flashers won't like the enclosure though. Still worth a try. It will either work or it won't.

So the USB cable that comes with the enclosure and that's it? What flasher needs to be used with this?

I desperately need to be able to dump the firmware off one of these BP60NB10s, get it cleaned, and get these fuckers working. They've been gathering dust for months. Thank you.

Alex,

Try the modified ASUS flasher from viewtopic.php?f=16&t=18933 to flash it.

Both the LG and the ASUS flashers can be a bit picky with some enclosures & SATA / USB adapter cables though, so you may get an error. It's worth a try though. If the flashing works then Mike's MK firmware is all you need for this drive (assuming it is UHD friendly?).

Let us know how you go!


PS: There is still no way other than DOSFLASH to dump a firmware though. I assume Mike extracted the firmware from the official LG BP60NB10 flasher and made his modifications to it.

[jonghotti]

I need to get confirmation from him that the initial dump and cleaning has been done. That’s been on my list of things to do for awhile and I’ve got 5 of these bad boys to sell.

[spl147]

If it’s in his MK firmware package then it’s ready! No need to dump it, those days are over!!!! Try it and find out

emphasis mine. There are still few methods available, that work over USB
