Hi Coopervid and everyone,

I recently got an Asus external slim bd drive SBW-06D2X-U and this is the information I get via MakeMKV:

I red the forum posts by many and also other topics here. Looks like i need to flash UD04 Fw. But i am not able to find it in the firmwares shared in ultimate flashing guide. (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634)
where can i find this firmware ? and can you tell me the steps to flash to read UHD.

Thanks in Advance.
PM is coming.

You have to ask Billycar11. My PM was unread for 3 weeks. All unread PMs get deleted after 2 weeks.
I’m new to ripping and was looking to get the mentioned drive as it’s readily available near me. Can this drive be flashed to rip UHD?

This is a LG based drive and you can flash it with BU40N firmware. Here is the guide:
