No. Your 209 V1 needs to be flashed to S11 V1. But I'm surely not perfect.

Hi there,
I have a new (to me) BDR-S09 (marked on the label as a BDR-S09XLB).
MakeMKV says:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-S09
Revision: 1.30

Firmware date: 2014-12-05
Bus encryption flags: 1B

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.30/ID43

BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
Can this be patched to support UHD? If I'm not patching it for UHD, is there any "better" firmware to be running?
thanks!

Thank you soo much @Coopervid. This has worked perfectly and has now allowed me to rip Willy Wonka and Shawshank Redemption from the WB 100 years box set.
Tried 4 times using my 'newer' Asus BW-16D1HT. and even did a backup and tried to rip from that, but still failed every time. Disc read errors every time.
No issues at all with the Pioneer and it ripped both disks first time.

Hello everyone,
I also have a Pioneer External Blu-ray Drive BDR-XS07TS
Is my Pioneer suitable for flashing for UHD reading?

Hey Coopervid,
Thanks again - the firmware update went without a hitch.
Is it possible to get a copy of the original BDR-209 firmware files so that I can go back to 'stock' if necessary?
thanks!
