Asus BW-16D1HT 3.10 Firmware

[Hopest]

I've watched the UHD Friendly Guide to flashing a Blu-Ray drive but before I do it I just want to check I've got this correct as my version is different to the videos.

So the version of my ASUS BW-16D1HT is 3.10-01

So do I use the bin file included in the "Downgrade Enabled Firmware V.2" which is 3.02 or do I use the bin file from the latest mk-firmware-pack-20190728 which is 3.10?

I think it's the later but just being extra cautious and can you confirm I don't need to use the ASUS ODD FW 3.02 Updater Tool that was in the 2nd half of the youtube video.

Sorry if these are stupid questions, I think you guys rock and thanks for all the efforts for making this easy and possible!

As your drive came with 3.10, you must flash ASUS 3.10-MK first as this firmware restores "downgradeability" to your drive. Then, if you don't want to use ASUS 3.10-MK (I don't know why you wouldn't! as it is great firmware!!) you can flash whatever firmware you like.

Sir you are a legend!

Thanks for the reply,

I thought I was right in my assumptions but I thought why not ask before doing just to be on the cautious side of things.

Many thanks, can’t wait to start.

So I have followed process and it said restart PC, did this and inserted UHD and says "no disc".

Opened Downgrade Enabled program again and it says the firmware is still 3.10-01.

What have I missed?

Thanks,

Open up MakeMKV and see what it says for info about the drive. Post a picture so we can see what it says.

[Hopest]

It was the sdf.bin file, updated and now reading my Fury 4K movie.

Thanks

Thanks for the fast response, appreciate it.

I thought Fury 4K was one of the two AACS 2.1 discs not (yet?) supported by MakeMKV?

[SamuriHL]

Yea I thought the same thing. LOL

[Hopest]

Yes we’ll I've learnt that lol

I responded to soon

I’ve also tried Fighter and also Mission impossible fallout and no luck yet.

[Hopest]

Strange, tried loads of my 4K movies and no luck.

Downgraded to 3.02 and just trying Fast Furious 8 which is now read and making a MKV.

[SamuriHL]

That is strange. I'm using MK 3.10 on my BW-16D1HT and I've not had too many issues with it.

[Coopervid]

I guess you forgot to reboot after flashing 3.10 MK.

Please try again and reboot. Should work then.

[Bolter]

I have updated my Asus firmware to 3.10 MK. and everything is running great. But I did notice that is now says "Microcode access re-enabled"
what is this and what does this do?

Thank you Makemkv, keep up the great work.

[SamuriHL]

That's the magic that allows LibreDrive to work.
