Hi all,

I used the windows method described in the OP, but got stuck on the HEX editor part.
Can someone use my FW dump to create an edited 3.02 FW for my ASUS_BW-16D1HT?

Thanks in advance!

@Wrazor,

Here you go!! Let us know how you go with it.

Since there are experts here who have done this many times, I would appreciate if someone could modify in the appropriate manner the attached DOSFlash firmware dump from my LG WH16NS40 drive. My sincere thanks in advance Hi Hoopster, Here you go! I have used your firmware dump to create a couple of...

Here you go. A fresh ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 firmware created using your 3.03 firmware dump. Once you get this installed, let us all know how you go with UHD ripping!!

@Colindo,

Here is an ASUS 3.02 created for you using your dump file data. As others have said, make sure you are on port SATA 0.

Good luck

Your very welcome. Have fun backing up your UHD's!!!

@OptimalSpeed

Here is a 3.02 for you using your data dump. Let us know how you go.

@nixxes,

Here you go. Firmware ASUS 3.02 created using your dump and the EEPROM Data Mover. Install this and you should be good to go.

@LoSLucifer Yeah, the steps can seem a bit daunting but really, this is the easy part! Anyway, I have created a 3.02 for you. Just unzip it and you are good to go. Yes, use the same program (dosflash) to erase the firmware and then install the new firmware. Let us know how you went.. LoSLucifer-ASUS...

@LoSLucifer Your welcome! It's really not that difficult. Just make sure you have a PC that can be put into IDE mode in the BIOS and ensure that you dump your original firmware first and back it up. As long as you have a backup of your original firmware, your unit can be restored if you mess up. As ...

I had just read an article over at club.myce.com regarding a new Firmware Downgrading Tool coming soon from DVDFab. Here is the link.

Could be a very handy tool for all!

@Domler Here is an ASUS 3.01 firmware with your data for you. (DON'T FORGET: Change the extension to .bin) Also, I have attached the ASUS firmware updater downloaded at the end of 2017 if you want to use it. After I flashed my drive to ASUS 3.01, I then used this firmware updater to upgrade my driv...

@FredNation,

Nope. An official UHD drive will not work with MakeMKV at all, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CROSS-FLASHED with a 'UHD Friendly' firmware.

@Matt92, Your welcome. The ASUS is a little faster. That's about all really. I have 2 LG BH16NS55 drives, one with firmware 1.02 and the other cross-flashed to ASUS 3.02. The LG is the one I use the most as I have never had any read issues so far. I have ripped about 70-80 UHD's and have never even ...

@OpenRift

I believe that your LG WH16NS60 is an official UHD drive. These do not work with MakeMKV for ripping UHD discs. You need a 'UHD friendly' drive to be able to rip UHD discs.

A search on this forum for 'UHD friendly' will give you more information.
