First off, I'm new to this forum, but have been lurking for a bit. Thanks for all of the great info and effort to share with the community.

I have a new LG WH16NS60, rev 1.02 in a Vantec USB enclosure running with Windows 10.

Dowloaded all files at the top of the thread, installed .NET framework.

Attempted to flash DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.00, but received Failure code #4.

I found a post where someone else had this error on a diff drive and it was recommended to flash a diff FW before flashing the FW for that specific model. Should I try HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.01-NM00100-211711202000 ?

Any other advice on what to try next in my situation?

Yes, please try flashing WH16NS60_1.01_MK firmware first, then either leave as is or flash 1.00 firmware.

PS: Some Vantec adapters/enclosures don't work when flashing as they don't pass all the required commands through to the drive.

Cheers!

Tried flashing MK, but still received Failure code #4.

I guess I'll need to get to a buddy's where I can mount the drive into a desktop in order to complete. Any other adapters/enclosures that are more likely to work than Vantec?

I believe you need to crossflash either LG 1.04 MK or Asus 3.10 MK first before you can downgrade.

EDIT (24.08.2019): I have updated the Modified ASUS Flasher which will now allow:

• The LG BP60NB10 external UHD drive to be flashed with firmware LG_BP60NB10_1.00_MK only.

• The LG BP50NB40 external Blu-Ray drive to be flashed with firmware LG_BP50NB40-NB50_1.01_MK only. (Not UHD friendly but enables libredrive.)

I'm sure this will help a few folks out!! See original post for the links.

Cheers!

I attempted to update a BP50NB40 NB50 with the MK firmware, but got Update Error #4. Is that likely because the version of the drive I have has firmware 1.02 on it and I am not allowed to flash it with a modified 1.01 version?

Yep, I would say so. Haven't seen one of these with 1.02!! Even LG's website still has 1.01 available for download! My BP50NB40 was on 1.01 and is now on 1.01-MK.

I just bought it in the last month or two from Best Buy and the back shows it was built on May 8th of this year.
