I don't know enough about it, so unless there are advantages to 1.01 I'd likely just go with 1.00 as well. I was going on the often faulty assumption that newer revision = better.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:09 pmNo problem. Also, I mentioned using 1.01-MK in step 2, which is ok, however, I just wanted to say that BP60NB10 1.00-MK is also good and is what I personally use.

Yes, in the case of drive firmware, newer is definitely not better!trav06 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:31 pmI don't know enough about it, so unless there are advantages to 1.01 I'd likely just go with 1.00 as well.

see if you can fully pass the usb controller to the vm then it should work others have reported success like that see here: https://makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... =30#p70355
Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
Thanks for the reply Marty! Do I just simply use the "ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_(Modified)" that was posted on the first page, and flash it to "ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014" ?? It can't be that easy! or do I need the SDF tool as well in case if the version of the drive is 3.10+ ? Thanks!MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:06 pmThe ASUS doesn't have encrypted firmware, so yes simply flash 3.10-MK.turok_t wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 5:16 amHello, I'm extremely new at did and I've been reading a lot of the posts in this thread.

Do I simply flash it to MK 3.10? or will I need to use the SDFtool if the existing firmware on the drive is encrypted? I just finished reading all 56 pages of this thread! Sorry for the newb question, I just want to make sure I do this right so I don't brick my new drive! Thanks so much!

The latest firmware on the ASUS BW-16D1HT is 3.10. Either flasher will work for this one.turok_t wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 5:53 pmThanks for the reply Marty!

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
hey Marty, just stopping by to say thanks for putting this together!
I just downgraded my external USB LG BP50NB40, then flashed it over to the hybrid BP60NB10 you provided and it’s worked like an absolute charm!
The first UHD disc I tried was Solo: A Star Wars Story.
I’ve since learned it’s apparently a bit notorious for not wanting to cooperate, which surprised me as it ripped just as simply as any other non-UHD disc I’ve done before flashing this fw.
awesome job, cheers again!

FYI, this is the older method. It still works but if you use the newer "SDFtool Flasher", the HBD firmware is not needed.
Cheers

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
I assume you were previously able to rip UHD with this drive? What firmware was it on? What happened to the drive to go into boot mode?
Try using the original LG 1.05 flasher viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24443 to flash the drive to original BH16NS55 1.05 and hopefully it will no longer be in boot mode.
If this works, then use the SDFtool Flasher to flash the drive to a UHD capable firmware.
Step 1: Flash drive to WH16NS60 1.02 MK (with "enc?" checked). If you only use MakeMKV for ripping, stop here, otherwise proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Flash drive to DE BH16NS55 1.02 (no "enc?" this time)
Cheers

You could try the old dosflash method. There are lots of threads/posts about it.anfield wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 2:33 pmthanks for your Help.
