You would need a version of the same firmware from Januor before. Downloading it directly from Asus or getting a recently manufactured drive (around January 2018+) with this firmware can break UHD friendly functionality. "Appears Asus has fixed the loophole silently on their most recent versions of 3.02.

The date of the archived file within the zip I downloaded from Asus (date modified) is not doing any upgrading until I find out more. is that really a typo and actually means "." ? Sorry for the long post, will keep it shorter in the future.Įdit: I just read in another thread that the v3.02 firmware for the Asus drive needs to be from Januor before MakeMKV reports that the date of the v3.02 firmware on my drive is " 17:16: ".

I don't have a lot of discs to rip now, and they'll always be a trickle, so speed is nice I don't what to sacrifice integrity or stability.Īlso, there are a lot of LG WH16NS40 svc code NS50 drives out there with ROM ver 1.03 that are pretty reasonably priced now, do you think that they are the equal of drives with native ROM ver 1.02 after being retrograde flashed? Might be worth picking up a few spares now, in case LG comes out with a new drive that can't be downgraded. Re, LG WH14NS40 - New Firmware Available by Dartman on Thu 4, 44 am Well that's certainly true but they didn't update their drives often when everyone was making media either, but at least they usually worked well outa the box.

Here is the screenshot as well as the troubleshooting Steps as for that I have tried a different SATA cable both in a different slot as well as switching it out completely and to no avail, next I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the Bluray Drive in question, Next I have tried a reboot of the computer as well, Next I have. I had thought I would use Asus' official updater and update the 2 ver 3.00 drives to ver 3.02, but while reading this thread I saw a comment from another member that said in his case while ver 3.02 was faster, was having more read errors than the slower ver 3.00 it wasn't really clear to me whether was talking about using Asus firmware on an Asus drive, or if it was cross-flashing to another manufacturer/drive.Īny advice, pros and cons of which firmware to use for each drive for good performance without sacrificing stability will be appreciated. Hello there and Thanks for quick reply and all. I also saw the door closing on the supply of 'friendly' drives, so yesterday and today I went to a couple of stores and searched through stacks of disc drives and found 2 Asus BW-16D1HT drives dated Feb 2017 that I found have ROM ver 3.00, and a 3rd Asus BW-16D1HT that was Jan 2018 and has ROM ver 3.02. Two of them are LG WH14NS40's svc code ND50, ROM ver 1.02, so from what I read they should be good to go, and might even be able to cross-flash with ASUS firmware?

I found that I had a couple of drives that may not be the best, but I bought them a year or 2 ago and never used them. I only found out that ripping UHDs was possible a month or so ago, but have had my hands tied doing other things until the past couple of days when I started reading in earnest. To start out, I'm UHD-ripping virgin trying to play catch-up as fast as I can, so please keep that in mind.
