Do you have MakeMKV installed? SDF Flasher is a front-end for the native CLI tool that comes w/ MakeMKV. See the list of prerequisites in post #1.sammyd1108 wrote: Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:24 am Is there any reason why the SDF Flasher isn’t recognizing any of the firmware from the All You Need Firmware pack? It won’t let me select any of the files from the folder.
I’ve followed all of the other steps and I can’t seem to figure out the final step.
That's because you're trying to run a program that hasn't been submitted to Microsoft for approval. At every version. It hasn't identified anything that implies "badness", other than the fact you haven't gotten this particular version approved by Microsoft (for a "small fee").Problem launching SDFTool on WIN11 PC where immediately double clicking on SDFTool app I get a WIN Defender error:
You didn't really give us much information but hopefully you flashed it to WH16NS60 1.02-MK firmware. Also, once flashed you must power cycle the drive and try cleaning the UHD discs before trying to read them again.Millmaster wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 12:34 pm Flashed my new LG WH16NS40 and everything looked fine - except it doesn't work. Just a silly question, but once it can do UHD disks, it can still do BluRay too, right?
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
It takes forever to read the disks. Only one time did it every completely read a disk so I could start a copy off, but that never finished.
Do I need a different/newer firmware?
I tried the "all you need" and "All you need Marty M" firmware.
I need something to try since this isn't working.
Thanks.
I haven't come across one of those in a long while. It should have an unencrypted firmware so you could try flashing to the equivalent MK firmware version, then try directly flashing to BU40N 1.00 firmware or just follow the same process as for NB52.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) wrote: Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:42 pm @MartyMcNuts,
The older model for, Slim LG-BP50NB40 with SVC CODE: NB40 Manufactured 2019, are the steps/firmware same as the newer Slim LG-BP50NB40 SVC CODE:NB52 model? If not, can you tell me the correct steps, or just the firmware I need for LG-BP50NB40 SVC CODE: NB40
Is there any differences between SVC CODE: NB50 - NB52 in these Slim LG portable Blu-ray Drives?

I tried reflashing an LG WH16NS40 SVC Code:NS50 on a SATA to USB adapter, running as administrator via the gui tools and CLI but receive error code 0x82052603. Looking for advice on what to do with this drive or if I should seek another.

YAY! Thank you! I was mistakenly also trying DE_LG WH16NS60_1.00.bin, which is clearly not 1.02 (doh). You're a saint for replying so quickly.
