Dumping & Downgrading firmware on UHD Friendly Devices. (OUTDATED)

[Gaetan]

Link me to the bu40n.exe. On official LG site I can only see 1.02 fw version.

Thank-you for trying to help me. This 1.02 fw version is exactly the one I'm trying to extract the firmware.bin file from.
here's the link http://gscs-b2c.lge.com/downloadFile?fileId=PSywkjSErd4BKGRwumegA.
Again , thanks for trying to help.

Are you the same user of the other forum asking to extract bin file from the fw linked there ?

If yes, a valid link has been already provided to you.

Yes, that is me on the other forum.and thank you for the quick reply. I just want to know how to extract the fw.bin from the executable so I can experiment

with 3 other firwares I found on the web. Again Thanks a lot for helping me, cheers!

Many thanks Teddy - much appreciated Drive is ordered

If I may, when it arrives, I'll get the firmware dump to you for modification, if that's OK?

Cheers

Hi Teddy,

Got my drive (BH16NS55, SVC Code: NS55) this afternoon. Manufactured March 2018. ROM Ver: 1.03

Please find extracted firmware file attached. Also screen grab of 'Read' window.

Could you do the honours please?

Very much appreciated.

@TeddyRaspin while i certainly wanna thank you for doing this for the community in your spare time, maybe you should start asking a few $$ to do this. Nobody works for free, and otherwise more and more people will ask you to do it until you'll probably say "no more, it's all i've been doing lately" at a certain point.

 

[TeddyRaspin]

@Ch3vr0n

You're absolutely right, but a free solution already exists (my own guide), thus I'm not so sure a few $$ will be the best way for doing something good for next users.

Hi Teddy, I'm really sorry to bother you again, but the write error freaked me out and I bought a second drive - I'm sure it's fine, but I figured it's always good to have a spare. Is there any way you can do one more for me and I'll quit bugging you forever?

Thanks again for all the help you've provided!

True but free is if they do it themselves, in this case you're doing it. And perhaps a modest $5 per firmware is more than reasonable. But ultimately it's your choice.

Here it is.

I just tried it and am getting a "Firmware has wrong size" error. Am I doing something wrong? I did the same exact thing as last time.

@robneal81

Hi, I've fixed attached file. Try it now please.

Worked!

I got errors like last time, but kept flashing until it said successful. It worked on the third time and I'm testing it now. Thanks again!

Hi Teddy, this may seem like a dumb question, but in the Steps for dumping firmware : (DOS Method) you say to Unzip on USB root the DOSFLASH.zip attached file.
I assume you mean the DOSFLASH_LG.zip file. Correct?

 

[gag333]

Here is the attached fw for you (TEST102.zip)



Same for you (JBirdie-FW.zip). In your case I've attached two fw mods, asus rips faster than LG but try the one you like.
They should work fine.

Hi TeddyRaspin,

I'm new in this forum, but I have the same request as JBirdie: I have the 1.03.rom from a BH16HNS55 and wanna try both the 1.02.rom and the ASUS one.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance.

Mario

@ShuttleCock

Yes, of course.

@gag333

Here is your modded 1.02 fw.

@ShuttleCock

Yes, of course.

Hi TeddyRaspin,
Thank you very much for the file. It works perfectly.
Is it possible to get a compatible ASUS rom AS well? I wanna try to see a difference.

Best regards.

Hey Teddy,

Can you work your magic for creating a 1.02 firmware for my LG WH16NS40? Attached is my dump and a snapshot of the DosFlash read of the drive.


Thank you,
