Hello @Coopervid,

Don't worry, I didn't pay @billycar11 (and that's a good thing, because I'm pretty broke right now!). I did, however, pay for my MakeMKV license.

In fact, jabdburner provided me with the flashing software, the appropriate firmware file, and the instructions (it's pretty straightforward).
Everything went as planned, the only thing I couldn't do was back up the old firmware

Now I can play 4K UHD movies on my Pioneer player. A mega big thank you to @jadburner and you!

NB: I do have one question, though ... Is there an RPC-1 version of the BDR-211UBK firmware?

Hello,

First of all, thank you for welcoming me to this forum.
I'm French, and unfortunately I do not speak Polish. I will therefore write this message in English, and I hope that this is okay for you.

I have a Pioneer BDR-209MBK drive that I would like to unlock so that it can play 4K UHD videos.


If I understand correctly, it seems possible to flash it with the firmware from a BDR-211, but I have not been able to find detailed instructions and the necessary files to do it. In addition, I would like to backup the current firmware before flashing the new one.

Could someone send me a detailed tutorial with the necessary files?


Thank you.
