Thanks.

The firmware date is around December 2022 and release date is around February 2023. The sole purpose of this update is to disable LibreDrive and unofficial firmware flashing tools such as DVRtool.

Please do not update the the drive firmware, unless you really need to.

In October 2024, I bought a Pioneer BDR-212V from Amazon:

It was manufactured in 2024. I got a firmware and flash tool from another user here and was able to successfully flash it, and I'm able to rip 1080p blu-ray and even 4K discs with it. After flashing the firmware, it comes up as a BDR-S12U 1.02:

My BDR-S09 (firmware 1.52) and my BDR-209M (firmware 1.55) can't detect / rip Blu-ray UHD discs.

Can you please send me a firmware that unlocks this?

Thank you very much.

Does it is possible to downgrade a firmware of the "Pioneer BDR-S13" drives that comes with pre installed firmware dated between 2023 / late 2024 to an earlier version that supports LibreDrive?
