Crossflash BDR-209EBK to BDR211EBK

[Tom886]

Sorry for typing in English but I am having a weird problem. What I read from the internet it should be then possible to flash the Pioneer BDR-209EBK to the Pioneer BDR-211EBK and it should read UHD Discs.


My PIO has the following info as attached.


Now my problem:
I can extract the firmware and kernel from my PIO for Hardware Revision 8600.
But when I extract the firmware from the PIO 211EBK v1.53, I get the kernel and firmware from Hardware Revision 8801 but for Hardware Revision 8800 only the Firmware is extracted but not the Kernel itself.


Thye filesize of the package "11T_BDR-211EBK_UBK_FW153EU.exe" suggests that there should be more in the file than just the firmware.
The same happens with "8800BDR-211EBK_UBK_FW152EU.EXE", only the firmware is extracted.


Did I do something wrong?

Edit: Does it matter whether I flash a Hardware Revision 8800/8801 for HW Revision 8600?


Cheers
Tom
