I would like to know if my drive can be cross-flashed for UHD Blu-ray reading and which firmware is recommended.

Drive Information:

- Drive: ASUS SBW-06D5H-U
- Platform: RS8511
- Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
- Firmware version: E101/ID26
- Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
- Firmware date: 2018-08-22

LibreDrive Information:

- Status: Enabled
- DVD all regions: Yes
- BD raw data read: Yes
- BD raw metadata read: Yes
- Unrestricted read speed: Yes

My UHD Blu-ray discs are currently not recognized, while regular Blu-ray discs work.

Could you please check whether this specific drive is compatible with the available UHD firmware and advise which firmware/tool should be used?

Thank you very much for your help.

I managed to get a bit newer version of UD02D Pioneer drive (HW:1.02, SW:1.02).
Here's how sticker on top looks like (BDR-UD02DTBD) :

I attach it's capabilities to this message :
BDR-UD02DTBD.png
Would like to dump it's firmware before flashing, but so far no program I tried allows that :/
Any ideas ?

Eventually, I want to libredrive it, and (if possible) make it into UD03/UD04 4k capable drive (assuming a bit newer hardware revision allows that ?)
Thank you
