No worries. I have an LG that I bought from Marty that I am using in the meantime. Cheers

Word on the street from sources I would consider reliable is that it will be Real Soon Now(tm),

It wasn't meant to. My guess is he recreated the 'SDF update November 2025' post, which is now the link I shared. Maybe I'm wrong.

This new SDF, once working, still doesn't make a drive read UHD, right?

Not unless you have a UHD model.

I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.

Based on the SDF update November 2025 I see that there are a bunch of BDR-209D firmware versions listed:

Would this mean that a a BDR-209DBK (I am going to assume that BK means black) manufactured in 2022 it should now work?

For standard blu-ray, yes. For UHD no. If the firmware is pre 12/2022 it can be cross-flashed to a UHD model firmware.

I would be looking to UHD. Is the cross flashing something that I could do myself? I have previous flashed LG drives.

If the drive is manufactured before 12/2022 would that mean the firmware is okay? Would the version be on the label or it is something that would need to be dumped from the drive?
