***If the drive was modded previously, don't check the "enc?" box*** Product Description This is a brand new LG WH16NS40 that came from the factory with firmware 1.03 or 1.04 depending on date of manufacture, and service code NS50. In SDFtool Flasher, select the desired drive, select WRITE, check the "enc?" box, press on "- Please select A Firmware to Write -", navigate to the correct firmware file, open it, and then press on START. ***This step created a backup of the current firmware in the program's Firmware_Dumps folder, save it in case something goes wrong***Ħ. Run SDFtool Flasher, select the desired drive, select READ and then START. Download the modded firmware pack and extract it.ĥ. Download SDFtool Flasher and extract it.Ĥ. Run MakeMKV and verify your drive platform is MT1959.ģ. ***Make sure your drive uses MT1959 chip was made after 2015***Ģ. Luckily, the MakeMKV community came up with a modified firmware for most common ASUS and LG Blu-Ray drives. The Blu-Ray drive won't read Blu-Ray media!!! Completely absurd and ridiculous. It appears that hardware vendors have begun blocking UHD within the drives' firmware. If you have an OEM unit, branded with another manufacturers name, Please contact that manufacturer for support and firmware updates. The drives must be original LG branded drives with BD-Writer model number WH16NS40(no OEM units). If you bring in a movie, you may face an unpleasant surprise. If your driver is not the WH14NS40, the firmware is not updated. I don't know if you guys and girlettes are aware, but latest internal Blu-Ray drives (and its firmware) cannot read UHD discs.
