Pioneer BDR-X13 (The actual drive is a BDR-213M)

[Xandros]

I have a Pioneer BDR-X13 external USB enlcousre, although the actual drive inside it is a BDR-213M according to the label, it has Firmware 1.03 on it which I knew was the crippled & encrypted FM. I did search for info on this and found a few posts recently about it but got a bit confused on some things, so would just like to check specifically; is this drive now flashable so it can read/rip UHD movie discs or is it still a no-go? Thanks!
