So I found all the info needed for flashing the drive. One question I have is what would I loose with the patched software?
Will I still be able to write data onto discs like with the original A105 firmware? It doesn't seem much like a software issue but will I be able to burn M-discs like with the original one?
Will my write speeds be impacted and how much?

most times you can still burn the same but sometimes no
