Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
New NS60 drive came today. I literally just put it in the vantec case about 10 minutes ago. MFG'd in May 2020 and it came with 1.02 on it. SuuuuWEEET! Ran the following awesome commands:
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash -i .\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
And then....
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash de -i .\flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS60_1.00.bin
And now.....
HL-DT-ST BD-REWH16NS60 1.00
BAM!
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash -i .\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
And then....
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash de -i .\flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS60_1.00.bin
And now.....
HL-DT-ST BD-REWH16NS60 1.00
BAM!

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
Hello Everyone,
First time poster here. I've been using MakeMKV for about 9 months now, and have had amazing success with it while building my Plex server. A few months ago I upgraded my server PC, and thought that it would also be good to add some UHD media to it as well. I have the ASUS BW-16D1HT, and back in May I was able to rip about 10-12 4K discs after following the instructions on this thread (Dark Knight Trilogy, Braveheart, Inception, Interstellar, Saving Private Ryan, etc.).
Recently though, I have been having an issue that I cannot seem to find a solution for. On Thursday I purchased the Forrest Gump 25th Anniversary edition in 4K, and no matter what I try, the disc is not recognized by my drive. I originally flashed to the 3.02 firmware back in May, that's how I was able to get the other 4K discs to rip, and have tried the 3.10-MK FW, 3.03-MK, as well as WH16NS60 1.02 and 1.03 after reading through some of the later posts on this thread. All of these gave me zero luck with Forrest Gump. I am currently on MakeMKV v1.15.2(x64-release), and the drive is only a few months old.
If someone has posted this problem in an earlier post, and a solution has been found, I apologize for the repeat post. I have not gone through all 44 pages of this thread just yet. I also found another thread talking about an issue with the Forrest Gump 4K 25th Anniversary edition, and a dump was submitted, but updating to the latest version of MakeMKV didn't solve my issue, so I wanted to see if anyone else had any luck in other ways.
Any help in this matter is highly appreciated. Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies, and I must have it in 4K! Especially since I just worked through the issues I was having with 4K playback (That's a whole other story).

Thanks for the advice. I cleaned the disk with no success. Other UHD Discs still work, so I have purchased a second copy. It will be here Thursday, and hopefully I will have better luck with that.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 4:06 amClean the disc

Triple layer discs can be a pain. I've got 3 drives, 2 ns60 and one Asus, all flashed with ns60 1.00 firmware and reripping all my Dolby vision titles over the weekend was challenging. Yes with 3 drives.

That's good info to know for the future. The UHD movie I tested, to see if the drive was still reading UHD at all, was Inception, which, according to the website you linked in your post, is also BD100.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 4:06 amthat disc is a BD100 https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Forrest- ... ay/238592/ just because other UHD discs work does not mean BD 100s will most UHDs are BD 66
