I am looking to get a drive for UHD and the bottom section from what I understand seems compatible out of the box. The top section looks like we have to follow a update process to flash them correctly. Needing an external drive and the BP60NB10 doesn't seem like a bad price. Is it still currently flashable or are some of these now shipping with encrypted firmware preventing it?

no drive are compatible out if the box anymore not lg not pioneer.
all LGs on the list are still flashable pioneers are not but a solution is coming for the pioneers soon.
if you want out of of the box solution dont forget some of us sell them preflash and tested as a real out of the box solution we still even have pioneers available flashed.

Hello! I just joined this sub, apologies if I've missed an existing answer to my question. I have an LG BP50NB40, manufactured in 2020. The SVC code is NB50, is this flashable? Thanks much!

From 1st post of this topic:

Recommended Firmware to flash for MakeMKV:

BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK

2020 is likely encrypted so 1st flash would require 'enc'

From Windows, use SDFtool Flasher, or use CLI (examples in 1st post)

Get BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK FW from here

Get subsequent BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK FW from here

That worked perfectly, thank you much!

Thank Billycar11 for maintaining the guide.I'm just an interpreter.

Hi, everyone. I'm just wondering if anyone might be able to help. I followed the flash steps for MacOS and I can't seem to get it to work. (I have the LG wh14ns40 in an OWC Mercury Pro)

Any help would be much appreciated.

- Thanks in advance

Which step didn't work for you? Maybe paste your Terminal output.

I'm running MacOS Monterey, and I just got a BP60NB10 drive I want to flash. I've followed the instructions provided, but I'm running into a problem.

When I run the following command: I get the following output: If I insert a disc into the driveI get the following input: In the instructions, there's an additional drive identifier listed before the drive: As you can see above, I don't get any sort of equivalent identifier (like /IOBDServices/D5D25996) when I run the command, so I'm at a loss as to what should go in that spot. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm on macOS Monterey 12.6.6 on Intel and this is run with MakeMKV 1.17.4:
Are you on Intel or Apple Silicon? How is your drive connected?

Does the Pioneer BDR-S13UBK require flashing?

worse it cant be flashed currently by the public so if the fw is after 12/2022 you cant rip uhd with it.
for now pioneers you must buy from a flasher like me marty or asmcom we can flash pioneers.

@ Billy
Can you flash the S13UBK as well?
Thanks

You need to post your Makemkv info of your drive. FW must be older than Dec 2022.

Hi there - I am trying to flash my drive using the guide while using MacOS. I cannot download "sdf.bin" as part of the flashing process. When I go to the linked site I receive a message from Chrome saying the site "unexpectantly closed the connection."

Do I have the correct link? Per the guide, it should be:
