ASUS BW-16D1HT reported successfully flashed but nothing really happened
Posted: Fri May 03, 2024 4:54 am
Greetings everyone,
I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT manufactured in September 2023 and loaded with firmware 3.11 and would like to backup UHD discs with it.
My Mac runs OSX 14.4.1 and does return my drive firmware details as 3.11.
I have attempted to flash the FW to the 3.10MK provided within the mk-firmware-pack-20200720.
It seems to me the system reports the flashing process to be successful.
But it also weirdly seems like it had no effect on the drive firmware which is stuck to the original FW.
Since the MakeMKV opening window returns the same details than prior to the flashing attempt and my drive is unable to recognize UHD, I have to admit I am missing out something ; but have no idea what it is.
Thanks in advanced for any help you could provide me with.
Best regards
