I too am stuck with a BDR-XD08B on 1.02 firmware. Didn't do my research before buying
Sent you an email, Billy - interested in trying an experimental flash if possible

This drive is not UHD compatible and cannot currently be flashed. The firmware is post 11/2022 so you must wait for future support.
