This is my drive information with the Serial number omitted :

I tried to review the main thread "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025", but this drive is not listed, but one like it is listed, but it sort of indicated it would be an LG, but based on the info it is a Pioneer RS8F00. Anyhow I got a little confused and figured I might ask some question before proceeding in an effort to avoiding any chance at bricking it.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.

Currently using a Mac M2 if that makes any difference. The drive info to confirm it's the same as others in this thread:

Also have a rebranded Asus(BW-16D1X-U E113) Pioneer RS8F00 ID76 from 2020.

Since it isnt a LG, i can't follow the UHD flash guide. And would appreciate every information about the process with Pioneer drives.

I know its possible, but cant find the tools or firmwares.

It has a Pioneer BDR-212T firmware.

Guess it was a lucky shot and compatible by default.
