What does MakeMKV say about the 1.01 firmware, seeing as this is what your drive currently has?

He would have to let Mike access his drive if it is pre Dec. 2022. Right now I don't think he supports XS08.

Look at this thread i opened 1 year ago! My unit is directly from Japan (Amazon Japan)
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=30798
It s a drive launched after the timeline of the Pioneer encrypted firmwares so for now it's not libredrive open!
It's a great drive apart the fact i can't rip 4k BD (yet)!
Hope support will be added soon!
Can you also please share this firmware(s) again? The old links don't work anymore.
It's not BDR-XD08 it's BDR-XS08
S units are "SLOT" units and much better than D series in a bunch of ways....top of the premium drives from Pioneer!
BDR-XS08 born with 1.00 firmware version that is already encrypted and it's not opened to libredrive!
A 1.01 firmware was released for XS08 but obviously is the same of 1.00!
My drive had 1.00 firmware from factory! I upgraded to 1.01 just because 1.00 was already locked to libredrive (i not so fool if it wasn't) and 1.01 improves disc writing!

This firmware is dated 2022-12-27, which means it is almost certainly incompatible with LibreDrive.Venturer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 6:12 pm1.01 firmware (downloable for Pioneer Japan website - you had to translate japanese): BDR-XS08MBS_FW101EU.exe: https://file.io/nftmeaQAzR05

Even 1.00 was incompatibile with Libredrive! MakeMKV info gave me the same message (Possibile but not yet enabled). It was a new 2023 drive!
I updated to 1.01 just because i know 1.00 don't work with libredrive!
I hope for MakeMKV Libredrive V2!

My understanding at this point is that while 1.00 wasn't immediately compatible with LibreDrive, compatibility was still theoretically possible.
I have no such optimism about 1.01.

The link for the 1.00 firmware doesn't work. Can you please send a PM to me with a working link? Then I could check if 1.00 would work. Still needs support from Mike in Makemkv but you have rendered your drive with 1.01 currently unusuable for UHDs.Venturer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 6:12 pm

Reuploaded 1.00 firmware dump with another service for everyone
https://easyupload.io/79cy31
Beware it isn't an executable it's a MakeMKV firmware dump read from my drive the first time i launched MakeMKV (because it was an unknown drive)

So bad!
1.00 flasher for BDR-XS08U never exists because 1.00 is the firmware from factory!

So does it look like Pioneer won the battle?
