Hi, sent a PM but new user so not sure it will be delivered. Have a BDR-209DBK, firmware version: 1.10/ID61, can this be crossflashed to make it UHD friendly? Many thanks in advance.

Greetings, boy9812. Please check your PM.

Thanks @jadburner, have replied to PM (hopefully).

Hi everybody, Have a BDR-209EBK, firmware version 1.54, can this be crossflashed to make it UHD friendly? Many thanks in advance.

If the date of your version 1.54 firmware is before December 2022, then yes. Otherwise, no.

209 series 1.54 should be from 2020, thus it should work. Just don't update to 1.55. And don't use 211 series 1.54!

Ok thank you. So what's the method to do that?

Please check your PM.

i'm trying to buy an used pioneer 209dbk ...would it be possible to crossflash it to some version that supports all pioneer utility extra options?

Please check your PM.

Can I get an advice how to crossflash BDR-209EBK to BDR-211EBK with firmware version 1.53, to make it UHD friendly?

What is the date of your 1.53 firmware?

My original drive is BDR-209EBK with firmware v1.51 dated on 21-05-2018 and I want to crossflash this drive to BDR-211EBK firmware v1.53 dated on 20-08-2020.

Thank you. Please check your PM.

Thank you very much. Your advice about FW crossflash works and my ODD is now BDR-211EBK UHD friendly drive.
