So the buffalo drives with the BU40N in it can simply be flashed with BU40N 1.00 and they'll come back saying Buffalo xxxxx BU10.
I'm wondering about the Buffalo BRXL-16U3 big external drive that contains a BH16NS58 in it with revision 1.01. Is there a 1.00 around for the BH16NS58? Still need to figure out how to remove this case unless you guys are going to tell me we can flash over USB now :)
Only 10 months late but is this what you are after?

congrats on the upgraded drive, one question though - what updater did you use to get to bn11, I'm seeing only the 2.00 updater from Buffalo which you linked earlier, not sure if this contains what I need?
Do I even need to update or do I just cross-flash to 1.03 from Mike?

Thanks for all the info!
You should use the modified ASUS flasher.
Cheers :D

So how did it go? My Buffalo drive really needed the LG LibreDrive FW (1.03) in order to read the UHD blu-ray discs.

I always use the 1.00 BU40N firmware I wonder what the differences are.

I've got pre-flashed BU40Ns for sale in either the Buffalo or Vantec enclosures. Immediate shipping available.

Hello,

just wanted to report back that my Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB is a UHD-friendly device now:

1. Crossflashing worked like a charm with this MK firmware

2. Device shows up as LibreDrive compatible:

@mike admin

Just in case you might be still interested in Buffalo firmwares, they released a new FW update tool [brdrive_fwupdater_200.exe], featuring:

a. Buffalo_BU40N_FW_Updater_2.01.exe
b. Buffalo_BH16NS58_FW_Updater_2.01.exe
It works!

- I used the firmware you linked
- I used the ASUS Crossflash exe if found on this site

Took all of 2 minutes.

Thanks planet1 for your post
