Crossflash BDR-209EBK to BDR211EBK

Hello all! First off, thankful for this community and apologies for typing in English. I was lucky enough to come across 3 kinds of pioneer drives within the last couple months and much like others, have been having a hard time finding instructions or the appropriate firmware to flash the pioneer drives to rip 4k uhd in make mkv or if any of these 3 are already ready to go. I am thankful of any help people may be able to provide. I didn't have any issues flashing other LG drives. These are the 3 types of pioneer drives I have. Thanks!

Just successfully crossflashed my "rev. 1" BDR-S08XLT to BDR-211UBK and ripping a UHD BD for the first time. Thank you jadburner for your generous help! Also shout out to blackened2687 (and all the people who helped) for the great work.

I actually did it through a Windows KVM on Linux by the means of "SCSI passthrough" (virtio-scsi + scsi-generic), so although your mileage could vary (as it involves quite a few "components" that might occasionally break in one sense or another, such as the respective drivers in the Linux kernel, qemu and the virtio-scsi Windows driver), at the very least it could work. (Now I'm wondering if it would even work through wine...given that it apparently works well for ImgBurn I suppose there's at least some support for SPTI...?)

Btw because my S08 is already a half-dead drive (red laser down; tray is hard to eject), I'm thinking of sourcing another Pioneer drive from the local second-hand market, but I'm having the following doubt:

1. Does the current BDRFlash support crossflashing a drive that has been updated to an "unsafe" version (i.e. from Dec 2022 or later) of firmware? (I'm presuming that Dec 2022 was when the "downgrade lock" was introduced.) As the drive I just flashed presumably had a "safe" one. (I resisted the lure to update it when I saw the post-Dec 2022 1.51 updater.)
2. Should I avoid crossflashing a drive with an "unsafe" firmware for any reason(s)? (For example, only the 1.04 and 1.05 updaters for the "12th gen" models come with a kernel. If I got a 12th gen that isn't already "UHD-ready" (but "capable"), should I procure a suitable 1.02 kernel+firmware from someone? As the BDR-211UBK 1.53 firmware I got from jadburner is a "safe" one as per my knowledge.)

The version of BDRFlash that we have does not currently support crossflashing drives with the post-November 2022 firmware. You may wish to check with Billy Carr to see if he can help you.

I wrote to Billycar11 about this, and for doing a crossflash on a drive with factory firmware newer than 12/2022 he asked for $200. I decided that's way too much, and I'd rather wait until the author of BDRflash does something about it.

this is because you are a reseller selling the drives im sure you would use my flasher many times on 12/22+ drives

others have already attempted to resell my flasher for 12/22+
