Trying to get UHD4K to read, makemkv updated, tried on two different systems, same message on both systems:

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8E21
Firmware version: ID05

How would I enable it?

PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time
Pioneer Drives need Firmware from before December 2022 firmware after this does not work do not update if you have a working one more on this in the coming weeks if they can be flashed. if your pioneer UHD drive does not work post your makemkv drive info here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27378

You were right. I disassembled the enclosure and plugged the drive directly to a USB port with a miniSATA-to-USB adapter. Not only MakeMKV was now able to use LibreDrive, thus being able to remux 4K discs, but now flash commands worked at first try. It still says 1.00 (Unpatched) even though I flashed 1.03 MK, but I don't care since I was able to remux films before flashing, so it's working as intended.

For the record, the flashing log was:

Follow the guide it does not say to flash that firmware

Not sure I understand. My firmware is 1.04, I need to downgrade to 1.02 to make it UHD friendly. When I use the flasher tool I get this pop-up DRAM NG 5/26/03. Why am I getting this pop-up? How can I get it to downgrade successfully?

Thanks

you can get it to downgrade successfully by reading the guide not skimming and glancing at it you are reading the wrong model name you are seeing WH16NS40 1.02 but the guide says WH16NS60 1.02 the use the all you need firmware pack it will simplify things for you
