Update January 4, 2022: AnyDVD now also works with official drives since version 8.5.8.2!īut now here is the first warning. There are drives that appear to be 'UHD friendly drives' by name in the lists. But this is only the case if the drives were manufactured after approximately 2015. Before that date they weren't and flashing firmware with 'UHD friendly' firmware turns such a drives into an expensive doorstop. There are possible rescue measures, but they are complicated and not necessarily successful. So: Drives older than 2015 - stay away from it. Buy a new one for UHD and use the old one for something else. The following programs and their optimizations are made by Mike Chen (Makemkv), MartyMcNuts (GUI for the flasher) and SamuriHL (for his contributions to flashing and to improving the GUI for flashing). Steps for identifying the age of your drive and version of the firmware follow now.

Here is the BETA key you need to enter for the beta version without having to buy the program:Īfter installation and registration start Makemkv. The firmware date is a hundred years too old. But this is a bug and common with all UHD drives with a MT1959 chip. It shows information what is possible with “patched firmware” - it tells you that you have to flash the drive. If all of this is fulfilled, you have to download the flasher and the firmware files.Ģ114, DO NOT FLASH! Your drive is too old !!!!!!Īlso important and necessary: 'Drive platform' must be MT1959! Important: If your drive says something older than 2015, e.g.īefore that, UHD doesn't work with that drive and firmware. The most recent flasher requires Makemkv to be installed, as its GUI uses the command line options of Makemkv. The previously known flashers cannot handle the latest firmwares, as these have recently been encrypted. If you have older drives up to around mid-2020, they will still work, but no longer with the latest ones. That's why I think this tutorial should be future-oriented and refer to the latest flasher, which can also handle encrypted firmwares.Īnd now download the so-called MK firmwares here: Unzip somewhere and then use SDF Tool Flasher to flash the MK firmware with the name of your drive that matches the drive name (Makemkv screen: product).

WARNING: Never cross-flash a slim drive with firmware of a full size drive or vice versa. If you want to cross-flash a drive please ask first in the forum and you will receive advice.Īll of these drives can also be cross-flashed, i.e. my original LG BH16NS55 is now an ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 MK. In my opinion the best firmware for these drives. WARNING: Don't buy a LG BH16NS40 anymore. These drives won't be UHD compatible ever! Buy a BH16NS55 or an ASUS drive! Some sellers still sell the old version with SVC40 and chip MT1939. WARNING: If you have a LG BH16NS40-SVC40 with MT1939 chip: Don't ever flash it with the official LG flasher.

The LG flasher doesn't check if it's a MT1939 or MT1959 chip and you will brick your drive flashing it to e.g. Here are some pictures from the flash process:Īttention! You get a message from Windows Defender and you have to explicitly allow the program to run!Īttention! Sometimes you have to start the program with 'run as administrator' if it doesn't work if you start it normally. So pick your friendly drive, pick the appropriate firmware and then flash it.
