I think I understand the flashing part for a ASUS BW-16D1HT drive but my question is in regards to the connection of the drive to my laptop. Can I connect it via USB with a Vantec or OWC enclosure?

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri
As Billy said, however, to make it easy for you, the flasher and firmware can be found in the first post of this very thread!!BurnerOfStuff wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:33 pmHello,
I hope someone can help me. I've read thru the pages of info across the few threads and have gotten myself pretty confused. I've bought a LG WH16NS40 drive SVC50 with 1.04
I've installed the drive internally to my windows 10 pc with a sata cable.
My understanding is the 1.04 requires me to use the ASUS flasher to flash NS55 1.04 MK.
then i can flash to the proper firmware that will enable UHD and libredrive.
My questions would be, where do i find the asus flasher to install it, and where do i find the NS55 1.04 Mk file?
Once i've done that, what firmware file should i be installing?
This is my first time trying something like this and i'd hate to brick my new drive.
Cheers

Come on Marty, you've not written a front end for makemkv flashing yet? Just teasing as we know Mike is working on one but wouldn't that be fun? Lol

Trust me I thought about it myself. I'll probably whip something together for my own personal amusement in dot net this weekend just for fun. I won't release it because as you said, this is Mike's thunder.

No no no. I have multiple drives. Lol. A nice drop down with enumerated drive list. Then a file picker that lets you point to the mk firmware zip and auto enumerates all the firmware within it into another drop down, sorted with your selected drive's native mk firmware at the top of the list.

Hello! I need help.
I bought a WH16NS40-NS50 drive, and comes with firmware 1.04.
I'm trying to flash firmware 1.02 on it, but I'm getting "Updating Failure #4", when I try to do it with the modified ASUS flasher.
I also tried 1.03, but I got the same message.

Thanks so much for this tool! I did my first drive with bootable flash drive , dosflash using hex editor and drive in sata0.MartyMcNuts wrote:Yes, they are. Just flash 3.10-MK first. Then you can flash 3.02. Both of these firmwares are included with the modified ASUS flasher in the first post of this thread.

The solution was to flash a 1.04MK file on the drive.
Thanks anyways.While there was no 1.04 file for WH16NS40, there is one for WH14NS40.
I successfully flashed my drive with that file, and that alone made it read 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray discs, as well as giving it LibreDrive support!

Thanks again. For ASUS Drive, what is rational of either going back to 3.02 or using 3.10MK?MartyMcNuts wrote:FYI
