I'm new to this forum and have a Pioneer BDR-XD05B drive, manufactured in August 2016. I was wondering if this drive is flashable for UHD? If it is, after the PM is sent, what do I do? Do I use the SDFTool Flasher? But then what file from "The All You Need Firmware" do I choose? Any help would be great!
