Has anyone manage to flash a BU40N with the GC02 firmware? Every time that I try, it never commits.
Every flash attempt with 1.03MK reports full success via makemkvcon rawflash/enc on Linux. After every cold boot, makemkvcon -l still reports GC02, unchanged.

Drive ID: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_GC02_211801310916_KZBI5NB5212

Any help is greatly appreciated

Likely no enc
See guide below
Or email me or Marty for an automated flasher.

See below for email

Here is the complete command that I ran: After a reboot I did: GC02 persisted.

GC02 persisted.

No ENC!!! rawflash main

That worked, thank you!

My bad.. I thought you meant that I tried the command without the enc param when you said no enc.. should've read the guide more carefully.
