actually i think i know whats going on here there a bad batch of techpulse cases they may have been rebranded now as they swapped away after this issue but yeah the case does not pass through libredrive

i wonder if we can sym link it

You have no patch to the fw file and it can't find it

Email me for an auto flasher kit for the pioneer flasher is not public sadly

email me for an auto flasher i have one for that drive i can convert it to do UHD

for now you must buy through a seller in your region with old FW. I'm in the US. Where could I find someone to sell me a 4K Pioneer drive (preferably an internal drive) with the old FW? Answering here or in a PM is fine if you prefer. Thanks. me im the usa guy see below for my options and email me ...

Well updating the fw was a mistake if that was a pioneer your ruined it sadly as old ones are rare and can't be downgraded
See guide below
The hash errors can only be fixed by cleaning the disc or replacing it or cleaning the drive

Pioneer drives are not publicly flashable yet the guide is for LG drives for now pioneers will be added eventually.
Email me for a pioneer flasher. See below

OK, so according to the above, I should be able to use the following to update the fw correct?

Code: Select all

makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr1 -f /path/to/sdf.bin enc -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin

Do you think the new detachable PlayStation 5 UHD Drive will become relevant for flashing, ripping etc? It is widely available and will have a large install base. It is also sold separately at an affordable price.

No

You can also go to 1.00 bu40n Awesome thanks. I'll give that a shot. Sorry I have a bunch of questions now. Is there any downside to downgrading to that firmware in terms of read speed or AACS version supported or triple-layer support? Is it a one-way street? Or could I flash back to "BP60NB10...

Just bought a used Pioneer BDR-S13U-X, hoping it would be pre December 2022. Unfortunately it is May 2023.

Aha! I found this thread after running into the same behavior with a BP50NB40 flashed (first to BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK and then) to BP60NB10 1.02MK. Seems to work fine on my windows machine (I was able to rip a UHD Bluray I own) but on linux (also in a container fwiw) I get that AACS certificate erro...
