Is there a way to downgrade the firmware on a Buffalo BRUHD-PU3 from BU11 to BU10?

[MartyMcNuts]

So the buffalo drives with the BU40N in it can simply be flashed with BU40N 1.00 and they'll come back saying Buffalo xxxxx BU10.
I'm wondering about the Buffalo BRXL-16U3 big external drive that contains a BH16NS58 in it with revision 1.01. Is there a 1.00 around for the BH16NS58? Still need to figure out how to remove this case unless you guys are going to tell me we can flash over USB now

Only 10 months late but is this what you are after?

just wanted to report back that my Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB is a UHD-friendly device now
...

congrats on the upgraded drive, one question though - what updater did you use to get to bn11, I'm seeing only the 2.00 updater from Buffalo which you linked earlier, not sure if this contains what I need?
Do I even need to update or do I just cross-flash to 1.03 from Mike?

Thanks for all the info!

You should use the modified ASUS flasher.

OK thank you, that's all I needed to know to get on with it.
I'll report back

So how did it go? My Buffalo drive really needed the LG LibreDrive FW (1.03) in order to read the UHD blu-ray discs.

I always use the 1.00 BU40N firmware I wonder what the differences are.

I've got pre-flashed BU40Ns for sale in either the Buffalo or Vantec enclosures. Immediate shipping available.

Hi All,

I just get my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3 today, and I am using DVDFab UHD tool to downgrade it to BU10 by just a click, and completely successful.

But you could have saved $75-$110 by following the guides here

1. Crossflashing worked like a charm with this MK firmware

Just in case you might be still interested in Buffalo firmwares, they released a new FW update tool [brdrive_fwupdater_200.exe], featuring:

a. Buffalo_BU40N_FW_Updater_2.01.exe
b. Buffalo_BH16NS58_FW_Updater_2.01.exe

It works!

- I used the firmware you linked
- I used the ASUS Crossflash exe if found on this site

Took all of 2 minutes.
