Linux WH14NS40 snag

[realz]

Hello. First of all I would like to express my deep appreciation for the people who are responsible for MakeMKV. I am new to this whole scene and I am extremely impressed with makeMKV. Fantastic job.

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
System Specs: AMD® Ryzen 9 3900x 12-core processor × 24 ... GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Here is what my drive looks like in MakeMKV: https://imgur.com/a/Jqs2qCW My name is Brian, nice to meet you.

MakeMKV is of course installed, and I have already prompted it to download SDF.bin by inserting a disk, although it has not appeared to do so. I installed on windows and was able to get SDF.bin that way. I placed SDF.bin inside the MakeMKV home directory and it has since appeared in the tar file, where it would be if MakeMKV had downloaded it itself. Even then, I get the following:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr0 rawflash full -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH14NS40-NS50-1.04-NM01201-211901041351.bin 
Unable to load sdf.bin
Internal error 0xffffffff

Same thing with sudo. Specifying the SDF.bin path myself:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f --sdf-file=/media/brian/2TB_A/make_mkv/sdf_0000006d.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash full -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH14NS40-NS50-1.04-NM01201-211901041351.bin

And again, the same thing with sudo.

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f --sdf-file=/media/brian/2TB_A/make_mkv/sdf_0000006d.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH14NS40-NS50-1.04-NM01201-211901041351.bin

MTK19xx firmware module v1.12

Commands:

  dump [auto|full|user] dumps firmware image
    dump full      - dumps full rom image (if not disabled in firmware)
    dump user      - dumps non-volatile user data
    dump auto      - dumps full image if possible, user data otherwise

  rawflash [main|full|<flags>] sends the image and flashing flags to drive
                               for flashing in self-update mode
    rawflash main  - flashes main firmware (this is the default)
    rawflash full  - flashes boot loader and main firmware (caution!!!)
    rawflash 0x..  - any flashing flags may be specified manually

Dumping works. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

downgrade makemkv to 1.15.0 for flashing

Woops, my apologies. I had my drive connected via usb-sata adapter -- an old junky one. I plugged the drive directly into a sata port and it worked.
