I downloaded the all you need firmware pack and mk-firmware-pack-20200720.zip.
But i'm hesitate to choose the correct firmware (HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS60-1.02-NM00600-212005081014.bin, HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin or maybe another one)

Can you please help me to get the correct one ?

In order to flash the drive, is the following command correct ?

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr0 rawflash enc -i firmware.bin

Regarding

KEYDB.cfg

, is there any to get it from linux command ?

Thank you for helping me

The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide says:

WH16NS40 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK

The BH16NS40 & the WH16NS40 are the same thing with different packaging. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=161079#p161079

Others have reported trouble flashing on Linux with 1.17.8. If they downgrade to 1.17.6, it seems to work.

Flashing Firmware makemkvcon hangs, does nothing
