I am using a Verbatim 43889 external slim drive and want to enable it as a full LibreDrive / 4K UHD reader.
My current drive info from MakeMKV is as follows:

Drive Information

Revision: 1.14
Serial number: CIDL505536WL
Firmware date: 2020-06-15
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 81

Could you please provide me with the correct custom flasher pack and the firmware files for a cross-flash (to UD04) to unlock UHD reading?

Thank you very much for your help!
