SDFtool Flasher

[MartyMcNuts]

Hi,

Bit of a pickle I'm in here. So I have a BP60NB10. It started with a firmware...not sure which one now but I think it was 1.03. I was trying to flash to BP60NB10_1.02 before then flashing to the 1.00. However, I seem to have accidentally flashed it to BH16NS60_1.02. Now I can't even eject it, and whenever I try to flash it to a different firmware it gives me an error code like 0x8f05c103 for example.

Can it be fixed?

Thanks,

Read the first post of this thread and try the recovery option.

Okay so that didn't work. I open it, select the drive, then click recover. The menu opens and I select the currently wrong BH16NS60_1.02 and then for the next box to repair it I selected the BP60NB10 1.02. It doesn't seem to make a difference if the enc box is checked. I hit start and tt gives me an error and says command produced error code 0x8f052400.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

When you say BP60NB10 1.02, you mean 1.02-MK, yeah?? If yes, try 1.01-MK instead. No need for "enc" as you are not on the original firmware.

I think it is -MK. It's in the mk-firmware-pack folder.

1.01 didn't work either. Same result.

Ok,

I have a couple of things you can try but first, can you try flashing the attached firmware.

1. Try flashing this firmware as normal. If that doesn't work,
2. Try using the recovery method with this firmware.

Let me know what happens.

Bugger...

OK, I have a couple of commands I'd like you to try.

First, open a command prompt in the MakeMKV installation folder.
NOTE 1: I assume "D" is your drive letter. If it's not, change the D: in the command.
NOTE 2: Edit the recovery file location to wherever you have stored the firmware file. If the recovery file location contains spaces, please add quotes eg: "recovery\file\location\DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.01_MK.bin"

Here is command #1:

sdftool --all-yes -d D: rawflash "main,nowait,nocheck,boot=MT1959 Boot BUP5" -i recovery\file\location\DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.01_MK.bin


Here is command #2 (Note the space before the end quote! Keep it in. It is not a typo!):

sdftool --all-yes -d D: rawflash "main,nowait,nocheck,boot=MT1959 Boot JB8 " -i recovery\file\location\DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.01_MK.bin


Please let me know if either of these commands works for you...

First, thanks to the OP for providing an easy to use GUI flashtool and for the continuous awesome general support

I successfully cross-flashed an LG WH16NS40-NS50 1.05 sep 2020 (using enc option) to HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin (old folder in mk firmware pack). Happily backing up discs !

Okay, so I tried both commands. I don't have a DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.01_MK.bin.

I tried all 4 with both commands, which led to this same message all 8 times:

Yeah, if the firmware is in the MK firmware pack, then it's MK. It's easier to say MK rather than NM0003343........

Ok, I just realized that the original BH16NS60 1.02 is an encrypted firmware (the MK won't be but could still be causing issues). Can you flash the drive with WH16NS60 1.02-MK so that it's totally away from any encrypted firmware then try the commands again. Start with BP60NB10 1.02-MK and work your way down. Also, no need for "enc?' at all.

I think your drive might be stuffed.

Just out of curiosity, can you try using BU40N 1.03-MK as the correct firmware? You will need to change MT1959 Boot BUP5" in the command to MT1959 Boot BU5 " (include the space at the end before the quote)

Hi, I'm completely new to this, but wanted to try ripping some UHD discs, so I bought a LG WH14NS40 drive from Amazon UK which came from the US I think with 1.05 firmware.

I used the Sdftool Flasher

First flashed with \mk-firmware-pack-20200720\MK\HL-DT-ST\WH14NS40-NS50\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH14NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061444.bin

Used the same tool again and flashed with \mk-firmware-pack-20200720\MK\old\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

This was what I thought was the correct way to do it from reading a few other posts on here.

Now the drive won't read ANY discs, UHD, Blu-ray or DVD

Info from the panel in MakeMKV is now as follows: -

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS60
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: KLZKB185319

Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 68

Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

No disc inserted

Can anyone help and tell me where I went wrong? I hope all's not lost and that I haven't bricked the drive a couple of hours after taking it out of the box!

Attach a picture of the top of your drive with the build date info
