this is a work in progress PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time[/u][/b]
Pioneer Drives need Firmware from before December 2022 firmware after this does not work do not update if you have a working one more on this in the coming weeks if they can be flashed. if your pioneer UHD drive does not work post your makemkv drive info here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27378

They have to be old before 12/22 fw but this will change soon

I downloaded the "All you need package" as well as "mk-firmware-pack-20200720" linked in this thread. But in neither I can find an "MK" version of the firmware I am looking for.

Code: Select all

Drive Information
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MOFP4EG0927
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 81

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

I flashed HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin out of the "mk-firmware-pack-20200720" package. However, LibreDrive remains "not yet enabled" (flashing completed at 100% without any errors).

Reading through this forum and asking ChatGPT, I understand I need something like "1.04MK" or better "1.03MK" which seems to be the recommended version. However, this "MK" version cannot be found in the packages ... Can anybody help?

I am using an external slim drive in case that should matter.
