Which firmware for Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB-EU BN11

[Maniac]

Hi,

I want to flash my drive to enable LibreDrive. It's a Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB-EU BN11.

But now I'm unsure which firmware to take. In the mk-firmware-pack I can see something which could match in the old folder HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-BN11-0M00300-211711201351.bin
In the HL-DT-ST I don't see something that matches with BN11. In this thread viewtopic.php?t=21544 I found something for BN12, but since I'm still unsure if this fits (and if BN11 is a firmware or hardware revision) I didn't flashed it yet

Which firmware should I flash?

Same drive here, and same question.

Which Firmware to flash?

Maybe DE_Buffalo_BRUHD-PU3_BU10.bin to stay on the Buffalo line?

Or DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin?

The correct answer : you are using Windows, so when in doubt you should probably be e-mailing Billycar11 (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=15044) for an auto flasher or purchasing an auto flasher from MartyMcNuts here : https://payhip.com/b/MyeJ9

The "I feel like trusting Sayaka" answer : I should point out that I do not fully know what I am doing with this drive and firmware version, but I know enough that I can hopefully tell you a way to attempt this that shouldn't brick your drive. No warranty and no refunds, though.

Get MartyMcNuts's SDFTool Flasher here : viewtopic.php?t=22896

And mike admin's MK firmware pack here : https://www.makemkv.com/download/mk-fir ... 200720.zip

Do a regular WRITE (encryption should likely be unticked I believe; also, no bootloader flash and no RECOVER either) with SDFTool Flasher with the following firmware : HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-BN11-0M00300-211711201351.bin from the folder named "old" inside the MK firmware pack.

This should be enough to enable LibreDrive. If you have trouble reading discs afterwards, particularly UHD discs, you should then flash DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin from MartyMcNuts's All You Need Firmware Pack (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HRnbXi ... sp=sharing) with a regular WRITE without encryption.

EDIT : Clarified something.
