Cross-flashing PR1 Models

[DavyCrockett]

Hello I have some Pioneer PR1 Models and was wondering if Jadburner or anyone else can help me out with them. They are pretty niche so I haven't found too much info on them

BDR-PR1EPDV
MFD: June 2014

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BDR-PR1EPDVPP100
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: -----
Firmware date: 2013-01-16
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, but very unlikely to happen
Drive platform: Pioneer RS1031
Firmware version: ID79

I think this is really the same as a BDR-206 under the hood since I'm pretty sure BDR-206 also has Pioneer RS1031. I was hoping that I could at least cross-flash it to BDR-206 so it can at least read regular Blu-rays.

==========
BDW-PR1EPDV
MFD: November 2016

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BDW-PR1EPDVPP100
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: -----
Firmware date: 2015-11-27
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8680
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-209
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00/ID79
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

I'm not 100% sure on what's the proper cross-flash for this one.

==========
BDE-PR1EP
MFD: January 2021

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BDE-PR1EP PP100
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: -----
Firmware date: 2018-11-30
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8801
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-211
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00/ID76
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

I think this is an easy cross-flash to BDR-211UBK 1.53 (Or Maybe it's BDR-S11JX 1.53).

==========
BDE-PR1EP2
MFD: March 2024

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BDE-PR1EP PP100
Revision: 2.02
Serial number: -----
Firmware date: 2023-07-10
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8801
Firmware version: ID75

Since this is 2022+ I don't really have too much hope at the moment

=================
Besides the PR1s I also have this one as well:
BDR-209DBK
MFD: September 2016

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-209D
Revision: 1.34
Serial number: -----
Firmware date: 2016-04-25
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information

Firmware version: 1.34/ID61
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

If anyone can help me out with these, it would be appreciated. Hopefully this is informative for anyone else as well that has these drives. Thanks!

Your 209D can be crossflashed. The others cannot be currently. Please PM me the MakeMKV output for the 209D.

My notes say your PR1 can be cross flashed but nothing that enables a UHD (so pointless). Your 209D can be cross flashed to a few drives that enable UHD.

be curious for you to try and for jadburner to check out the list if it matches his expectations (he has the experiance here)

Hi Matt,
I was able to receive assistance and researched as well on my own for them. Here's an overview:

BDW-PR1EPDV was straightforward and solved with assistance. (S8800600.153 and S8800601.153)

BDR-209DBK was straightforward and solved with assistance.(S8800720.153 and S8800721.153)

BDE-PR1EP was a little difficult. I risked it and it panned out by customizing bdrflasher to bypass a firmware check to REALLY force a flash (S8801600.153 and S8801601.153)

Lastly I managed to brick one of the two of my BDR-PR1EPDV drives when I tried to crossflash it with bdr-206 RIP I actually tried to use S1030000.106.enc and S1030001.106.enc from BDR-206 1.06 from freemkv.org with another modified version of bdrflasher since I couldn't get the freemkv.org flash to work. My modded BDRflasher gave the error "Failed to start internal reflashing" I believe in red and then my drive wouldn't power on. The good news is I didn't care for it too much because it only COULD do standard blu-ray IF I was successful. So I don't recommend that path if anyone else has this BDR-PR1EPDV.

BDE-PR1EP2 - Still researching this one as I don't want to brick my good ones...

Also I tested and all of them work with UHD after successful crossflash

Your American Pioneer,
DavyCrocket

Happy to work with you on any flashing issues you may have, its a fresh release so i am sure some bugs need working out. Also curious if we can recover the brick at all

My modified BDR Flasher was also able to flash BDE-PR1EP2 v2.02 as well to BDR-211M v1.53 without issue (S8801600.153) and (S8801601.153)
