How to restore Asus 16D1HT to 3.11 factory firmware

Post by Happydude5000 »

I bought 2 drives and both scratch my discs. I need to restore them to 3.11 from 3.10 libredrive so I can get a refund on the defective drives. The recover file I made with the sdftool flasher is a .tar file and it wont let me recover the orginal firmware with it.

Never mind I found 3.10 official on the Asus website and that worked.

You can't. Even ASUS has only 3.10 on its flasher.

It defaults to Windows 11 and only shows the egreen utility. You have to switch to Windows 10. Then the flasher appears for download. It's what I already wrote above.
