Giving this a bump. Is this a supported drive yet?

Incidentally, this drive supports BDXL but not UltraHD. Is there any chance it can be cross-flashed to get UHD support?

Curious if I can new FW for my drive? Just created an account so I can't message anyone directly.
I have an LG WH14NS40 that's been my go-to for the last few years. But as you know, it's only going to get harder to acquire drives now that everyone has exited the industry. managed to snag this BDR-XD05 on eBay for a decent price and want to make sure I have a reliable backup.

Thank you to everyone who's made this possible!

I've got a Pioneer BDR-XD05, I was wondering if anyone would be able to confirm that this drive supports 4K UHD and could help me get it configured if possible.

Thanks in advance!
