The good news is that we have nearly secured more Pioneer stock that was being retained by Pioneer, which they are going to release soon.
Which models?

The drive arrived today and ripping normal Blurays works fine. It can open 4K discs but as expected I cannot copy them with the original FW.
Here is the drive Info:
Code: Select all
Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom1
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MO1P6NB5204
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 76
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
From the first post I read that I should flash this firmware:
BU40N on any Firmware directly to > BU40N 1.03MK
But further down below it says
LG 1.04+ / BU40N 1.03 / Asus 3.10+ and similar
The newer OEM firmwares cannot be flashed easily due to the additional downgrade checks
And mine is on FW 1.05 so it probably is encrypted?
I downloaded "The all you need firmware pack" and found the BU40N firmware. My flash command will look like this:
Code: Select all
makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d D: rawflash enc -i Path\To\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin
Did I get it right?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, newbie post but not new to makemkv - backed-up my archive over many years before travelling the world with my HDDs So a big, big thanks to all creators and support, best software
Just bought the Buffalo BRUHD-PU3-BK for my UHDs. After seeing a few Buffalo firmware options in the AYNeed pack v reco to use LG 1.03, I’m confused what to use, not done this before.
Help is very much appreciated!

I did not flash yet because I did not want to brick my drive.
Can I just give it a go?

You will need to be fast as they are selling fast. The good news is that we have nearly secured more Pioneer stock that was being retained by Pioneer, which they are going to release soon.

That's not a 43888. The 43888 has either a Pioneer UD04 or a LG BU40N. The other models, namely the 43889, 43890 have either the Pioneer UD03 or a LG BU40N.
Anyway, if you email that drive info to Billycar11, he will be able to help you flash it.
