NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher

Here is the link for the latest version of the modified ASUS flasher + firmware pack. In the pack is BC-12D2HT 3.11-MK which is UHD friendly.

Please don't attempt this. 3.11 removes the ability to downgrade firmware directly. Previously, you had to cross-flash to BW-16D1HT 3.10-MK, then downgrade to 3.01 but often, the drive became stuck on 3.10-MK.


The easiest and safest way is to directly flash BC-12D2HT 3.11-MK and be done with it as this firmware is UHD friendly. The download link for the latest modifed ASUS flasher + firmware pack is below.

You're right with your warning and 3.00 was the last official firmware, jnown as friendly. The 3.01 modified, I attached, will be able to backup UHD.
I hadn't seen this new modified version.

 

Yep, 3.11-MK has been around for a couple of months now.

I have updated my OP with more information and the latest file/s.

 

Very good. I'm with the BH16NS 55 and firmware 3.10-MK. There was no need for me to look for newer firmware packs the last month.

 

FYI

I have updated the download link in my OP as a new MK firmware pack was just released. It now contains firmware BP60NB10 1.01.

Hmm...
I recently bought this ASUS BW-16D1HT (Firmware 3.10) and read all about flashing and...
I don't get it!?
Should I or should I not flash the firmware?
I'm not into ripping or playing UHD discs, only Blu-ray.
I will use this drive only for ripping and playing Blu-ray, not burning.
I read about a "sleep" bug and ripping speed.
What is the "sleep" bug?
Only tried one Blu-ray (43.4GB) so far using AnyDVD HD and it took about 30-40 minutes.
Is that anything I can speed up with a firmware flash?
Could a faster rip speed add errors to ripped image/folders?
I don't mind the longer time as long as the copy is perfectly 100% OK.
Ideas and input is much appreciated!
Still using Win7 x64

If you're not doing uhd then leave it alone. None of it applies to bluray.
