You don't need to change the encryption setting since SDFTool detects that automatically. If you check the first post, you will see that your firmware is not encrypted.

Hi Experts,

sometime back flashed an old 2012 NS40 running 1.03 FW with the evil rubbish off the LG site...
been messing about reading every clue how to undo for 2 years... I'm very confused, over the years I've been able to do multiple bits of multiple ideas but nothing works

re reading and trying yet again, I now realise the comments my hardware is too old to run UHD but two tools tells me it is ?
in recent attempts I can now see I get two firmware files to always run using SDFlasher - never had any success loading anything to it before

I thought the drive is a LG BH16NS40 (NS40) dated 2012 12 10
no old world NS40 firmware loads since I put NS50 1.05 on it (years ago 2013 to 2015 I had gone from 1.00 to 1.02 and 1.03 no problem)

straight flash files I can get to run are
DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.00.bin

realising no 'NS40' FW will load in anyways shape or form, today I realised as it thinks its MT1959 hardware I can straight flash this
DE_flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS40_1.02_NS50.bin

I guess I killed it - but I don't see why you can't unscramble it...

Hi everyone,
New here, I'm trying to flash my Asus BW-16D1HT that I bought around 2016 or 2017 I think...

I tried SDF tool Flasher but I get the following error message : "The drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (MT1959) and cannot be flashed."

Do you know any way to get rid of this message and flash it somehow?

Thanks in advance!

That means it's to old
Get a more modern drive I recommend a pioneer with old fw from a seller in your region

Hello,
I'm a long time user of makemkv. Been using multiple LG and Asus drives without any issues so far. Just replaced one of my my dead Asus BW-16D1X-U with another unit and was trying to flash the FW using SDFtool Flasher v1.3.1 and FW file ASUS-BW-16D1H-U-A204-WM01001-211901041044.bin. The success bar goes all the way up to 100%, tells me the update was successful and nothing happens after that (Shouldn't the tray open and close after the update if I rememebr correctly?) Anyways, makemkv still shows the drive with the same FW it arrived with. What's wrong here? I believe it's Windows 11 but I could be wrong. Please advise.

Hello Guys!
Today I got my Hitachi-LG BU40N Internal UHD Blu-Ray/DVD Drive/Burner. I knew that i had to flash it first, so i can get start to work!
But when i select my Drive and my Firmware to write and press the start button, nothing starts. It is like i haven't even pressed the start button. It happened when i tried to flash to DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK and also with DE_LG_BU40N_1.00_MK.
It looks like the first picture in the attachements.
My current version of the drive is in the 2nd attachment pic.

I already read that I have to crossflash to get to 1.00 but my problem is, I can't even flash to 1.03_MK because nothing is happening ....

Try using the latest version of SDFtool flasher. Also, what firmware did the drive come with?
