dont need to be flashed.gej80 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 9:29 pmHi,
and please forgive me if this question has been asked a zillion times. I’m new to this ripping and flashing thing. And even after reading the guide, I’m still puzzled.
I have successfully ripped one (!) BD, but trying to rip another one (FullHD), I am getting lots of errors (MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading).
I still don’t know if my drive needs flashing and if this is the reason of these errors. Is it? Does "enabled" here mean the copy protection is enabled or does it mean the drive has been enabled to read BD’s?Code: Select all
Firmware date: 2018-11-28 Status: Enabled Drive platform: RS8A10 Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US04 Firmware type: Original (unpatched) Firmware version: 1.11
Could anyone tell me how to proceed? Where to download firmware (if needed)?Code: Select all
./makemkvcon f -l Found 1 drives(s) 00: /IOBDServices/DFA601A1, /dev/rdisk2, /dev/rdisk2 PIONEER_BD-RW___BDR-UD04_1.11_TEDL038041WL
Thanks a lot,
gc
those errors are usually caused by a bad or dirty disc.
clean the disc
replace the disc
clean the drive lasers.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Any reason not to pick up this BP50NB40 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-exte ... Id=9243009 with an expectation to be able to flash it to rip UHD Bluray disks via makemkv?
Is the only way to determine "SVC NS50+ LG only on label for NB drives NB50+" to buy it and make sure it only has the LG label on it? Or is there something in the listing I should be looking for?

Is it hard to flash just because you have to flash it in succession with multiple firmwares likeBillycar11 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 7:54 pmIt's the hardest of all to flash but it can work but the best Uhd drive are pioneers
Or is there something else to be wary of?BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK
Also how can I tell if that one I linked is
to determine if it's flashable or will brick? Or is that something I have to check after I have the drive in hand?svc nb50+ vs svc nb40
Thanks for your response Billycar. This UHD flashing guide is awesome.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Hello everyone,
Dumb question: I am having an issue using the command line on Mac to flash my drive. Can I flash it on Windows with the GUI, then use it on my Mac?

Thank you! Works perfectly.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Ordered an wh16ns40 on amazon. Was able to flash to firmware 1.02 using the youtube video link. it says libre drive is enabled and i'm on mt1959. When i put a disc into the drive, it doesn't recognize it however. It doesn't recognize blu-rays either. i forgot to put a bluray in when i first received the drive. Any suggestions? Or is this a dead drive?
