I've successfully flashed my own drive first-time and it is working. Now I am on another drive, LG BH16NS40. I tried to insert an UHD disc (I know it is a good disc, I copied it on my own drive), but it will not even recognize the disc (with and without AnyDVD HD). MakeMKV gives me this: OS-Gerätename: F: Produzent: HL-DT-ST Produkt: BD-RE BH16NS40 Revision: 1.02 Serienummer: (deletet) Firmware-Datum: 2113-12-06 15:35 Markierungen der Bus-Verschlüsselung: 17 LibreDrive Information Status: Enabled Drive platform: MT1939 Firmware type: Original (unpatched) Firmware version: 1.02 DVD all regions: Yes BD raw data read: Yes BD raw metadata read: Partial Unrestricted read speed: Yes I was surprised to see LibreDrive Status: Enabled but Firmware Type unpatched (no, I flashed nothing). Can anyone tell me what this means? Can I flash a patched firmware and will it work then?
This drive will never work with UHDs. It's too old. Drive patform: MT1939. See and read here: https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/guide-for-flashing-uhd-drives-for-anydvd.79023/
I thought it will work because it is on this list, also I have a folder with its name in my Flash Tool folder.
DO NOT FLASH THIS DRIVE! Even if you try the official LG flasher it will brick your drive since that one does also not check that it's based on the old hardware platform MT1939.
Now I understand. In this case not the Drive Model is important, but the old hardware platform and there is a folder with the drives name because the newer hardware platform is supportet?
