Flashed the wrong firmware, but it works, should I flash back?

Post by wenildexis5 »

I bought an LG wh16ns40 that came with 1.04 fw that I couldn't downgrade. I managed to flash one of the mk firmwares that was in the old folder of the mk firmware zip.

I had selected wh14ns40 1.04 by mistake but it started flashing. It flashed until about 98% then said it has an error and the drive would only be in emergency mode. My computer then powered down but upon restart, makemkv detects that it's a libre compatible drive and can backup 4k discs.

I'm getting around 5x rip speeds, but should I reflash back to the latest patched firmware for the wh16ns40?

Thanks

You should flash to WH16NS60 and the reason you got that error is because you are on an amd system it's a false error
