Just wanted to follow up on this. Alex (in this thread) sold me a WH16NS40 with firmware 1.02 at a very reasonable price (too cheap all things considered)). Plug & Play. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Alex! Awesome .. next time I am in the Bay Area, I am buying you a beer for your good ...

Your firmware version indicates 3.02, however my drive had 3.02 also but a manufacture date of February 2018 where ASUS had plugged in the AACS loophole, so I had to downgrade it to the friendly 3.02 firmware. What is the manufacture date of your drive? It can be found on the label underneath the dr...

Under running water with soap? Wow! OK my friend, I will give that a try. Now when we say clean dry microfiber cloth are we talking this: https://www.frys.com/product/6683994?si ... IN_RSLT_PG or more like this: https://www.frys.com/product/6927057?si ... IN_RSLT_PG or this: https://www.frys.com/pr...

It is pretty much a drive lottery now ... I got a LG WH16NS40 drive from Fry's Electronics that Alex had suggested that worked right out of the box without any firmware downgrade. The other ASUS BW-16D1HT I ordered from Newegg had the 3.02 firmware that had pugged the AACS loophole and I had to dow...

Hello. Fantastic guide. I have two drives on the way from Jet.com. In the event that I need to roll back, I have been researching this process. I was wondering if it is possible to install the EEPROM Data Mover program also on the root of the USB drive with DOSFLASH_Windows7 and execute it? Then th...

I typically clean my discs under running tap water and using some dawn dishwashing liquid on a soft microfiber cloth. Then dry them with a clean dry microfiber cloth by wiping them from the center hole to the outside radially but NEVER in concentric circles. Even with brand new 4K UHD discs straight...

I do have the ASUS BW-16D1HT with the Vantec Enclosure https://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NST-536S3 ... B01MRUN0HQ and it is workign great for me. I did have to downgrade the ASUS firmware to the clean & friendly 3.02 and everything works great now.

I also got an LG WH16NS40 because they said it would work if it had SVC code NS50, but my firmware was too new. And I can't make heads not tails of Teddy Raspin's instructions. It is extremely simple once you decide to follow his instructions and have the right hardware to do it. I struggled over t...

Alex .. those identical streams are titles with a different language .. I read it in this thread https://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopi ... 12&t=16993

Thanks @woodstok .. that worked! Made a nice big mkv file that I can now stream using SPMC on my Nvidia Shield TV.

It has been a while since I ripped BluRays .. made a 1:1 backup of a 4K UHD disc (Blade Runner - The Final Cut). I was expecting a .mkv file, however here's the directory structure the tool made ... BladeRunner > AACS > BDMV > CERTIFICATE > discatt.dat Cannot find the .mkv file anywhere that I can s...

Glad to know things worked out ... it is always some disc that is problematic I am in the process of trying to get a configuration similar to what you have.

Also for people trying to find a clean firmware for the ASUS BW-16D1HT drive, here's one attached that @TeddyRaspin had posted in another thread. Since this thread is about the guide to flashing, I think it is appropriate to post it here too rather than go searching for it in other threads. ASUS_BW-...

Hi guys, here is my own guide to successfully dump and downgrade firmware on any "UHD Friendly" devices, such as Asus BC-12D2HT / BW-16D1HT or LG BH16NS40/NS55 (WH16NS40/NS55) (SVC Code NS50) and similar drives having MediaTek chipset inside them. ......................... Thanks a ton fo...
