SDFtool Flasher

[blake]

Hi guys!

I purchased an LG BP50NB40 NB52, and followed the instructions to flash and cross flash. But it would not read any BD or UHD BD disc. So I tried to flash another version and attempt recovery, but at this point it seems to be bricked as the tray will not open now, and I get error 0xff05c103. MakeMKV shows No disk and the tray open. When I try to write or recover, it finishes fast 'Done' but doesn't seem to do anything.

BD Drive shows: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BP50NB40_1.00_211409031732_XXXXXXXXXX

BIG THANKS TO TO d00zah, dcoke22, and of course MartyMCNuts. Appreciate this community helping a newbie. Now to get ripping!

Hi again-
Well, everything worked until last night, and now the drive doesn't read discs of any type. Every time I load a disc (be it DVD, BD or UHD) it spins for 10 seconds and then says there is "No disc". I am on Mac and have used Terminal commands (see my last post from May up above). Please help @d00zah, @dcoke22, and of course @MartyMCNuts!

Hi I am trying to Flash my LG BD-RE WH14NS40 drive to rip 4K DVDs. The drive is installed on PC running windows 10. Internal Drive. My current drive firmware is 1.03.
I read through the forums.

1. Downloaded SDFtool Flashes 1.3.5 to flash HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

I am having a few issues and was wondering if someone can help.

1. When I launch SDFtool the window is all scrunched up. I can see MT1959 text and encrypted txt but can't see its status. When I click the Read or write button I get the following error: "The Drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (MT1959) and cannot be flashed. Under MakerMKV it shows the platform at MT1939. So is this drive not patchable?

Thanks.

Hello. My SDFtool Flasher does not see optical drives. Win 7x64, Net Framework 4.7.2 MakeMKV 1.16.5. Or do you necessarily need Win 10x64? Or it's something else, please help.

Hello. My SDFtool Flasher does not see optical drives. Win 7x64, Net Framework 4.7.2 MakeMKV 1.16.5. Or do you necessarily need Win 10x64? Or it's something else, please help.

Not compatible with Win7. Win 10 x64 and Win 11 x64 required. Did you not read the requirements?? Also, make sure you are running as admin.

Hi again-
Well, everything worked until last night, and now the drive doesn't read discs of any type. Every time I load a disc (be it DVD, BD or UHD) it spins for 10 seconds and then says there is "No disc". I am on Mac and have used Terminal commands (see my last post from May up above). Please help @d00zah, @dcoke22, and of course @MartyMCNuts!

It happens from time to time.

Disconnect power and data connections to the drive and let it sit for 24 hours.
Then reconnect and it should be fine.

Don't believe the Pioneer hype. The ASUS is the best drive there is!

Hi everyone. I'm new here. found a video about updating drives to read 4k blu ray. I'm not a massively tech minded person but i try my best with things. Ive got a Blu ray drive (i believe its a bdxl drive) which i would like to perhaps update to read 4k discs. However the tool comes back with an error code when i try it. the drive is
HL-DT-ST_BDDVDRW_UH12NS40_1.01_211711231550_S1K9SG8OG562

The Error code when trying to patch to WH16 1.02 as per the first page od this thread is 0x82052400

Any help as to if this drive can be patched or not and what i may be doing wrong would be great.
The drive is fitted to an external USB3 enclosure if that helps any.

Your enclosure might be the issue. What model is it?

Are you trying to flash WH16NS60 1.02-MK or WH16NS40 1.02? It should be the former.
