Thanks again MartyMcNuts! My motherboard died last Thursday... talk about bad timing. >.< New parts installed yesterday but that no longer had an IDE option. Luckily my old server does have an IDE mode! Used the windows 7 usb again and this time erase/write flash with DOSFLASH. First time it failed...

@markm75,

I'm pretty sure that drive won't work. I have one of them sitting on a shelf. I think it is from around 2010-2011. For UHD Friendliness, you need a drive from late 2015+

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

@nixxes,

Your welcome! Have fun backing up your movies!!

@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.
