Thanks to @blackened2687, I've had the opportunity to test his latest tool BDRFlash. The tool is currently at a v0.99 beta level, so it should be generally available real soon now. :)

One of the very useful features of the tool is the ability to crossflash between drives with similar attributes. As an example, here's the process for crossflashing a BDR-209D into a BDR-S11JBK. This allows the drive to utilize BDXL media and take advantage of new MIDs and other features of newer firmware.

Here's the device information for a BDR-209D before any crossflashing.

Załącznik 189749

As you can see, the drive lacks support for BDXL media. To begin, we start BDRFlash and select the drive to crossflash:

Załącznik 189750

The Select command menu includes options to flash firmware and put the drive in kernel mode:

Załącznik 189751

Since we want to crossflash the drive, we choose the Flash firmware option. We then need to use the file browse option to select the kernel and firmware files we want to flash to the drive. Since you need to select both files, you can use Ctrl-click to select them both.

blackened2687 provides the firmware/kernel files in folders, in this case a folder named BDR-S11JBK_1.52_v1. Once you've selected the files to flash, click the START button. If the program's internal consistency checks are satisfied, you'll see the confirmation dialog.

Załącznik 189755

Select Yes, and a series of messages will appear as the program flashes the files. Here's one example:

When the flashing is complete, you'll see a success message. Here's the device information for our crossflashed drive. You can see that the drive is now a BDR-S11 and has support for BDXLmedia.

As final proof that the process worked, here's plots showing creation of a BDXL test disc and a quality scan of it.

The process is really quite easy, and the program contains numerous checks to ensure that the drive and files to crossflash are matched.

Great job, @blackened2687!

Are there any alternative inexpensive (and preferably external) drives that can write to these?

Does it see that it's BD XL, quite possible that it does not have writing strategy for this particular BD XL.

Welcome to the forums, DaveRiscman. Although the BDR-TD05 is capable of writing to quad-layer discs, since it's a BDXL drive, it never received a firmware update from Pioneer to enable it. That's why it won't properly recognize your SONY-NQ1 media. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of alternate firmware for the drive that would enable QL support.

Does it recognizes it's XL BD ?

Skąd można pobrać najnowszą wersję z GUI? Mam problem z flashowaniem DVR-215D po USB. Może ten soft coś pomoże...

Welcome to the forums, BigJoe!

What drives are you trying to crossflash to/from?

Hello i have a BDR-212DBK drive and i would like to flash it to an 212UBK. Is it only possible with the BDRTool or is there a nother method?

Napisany przez Oinker (Post 1456254)

I usually checked this page for firmware updates:
https://pioneer.jp/device_e/product-...v00001r_e.html
And there is only one for the 211EBK/UBK drives.

Hope you allow me to try it, too. :o

Btw, if there's a kernel required, is it enough to unpack the updater exe and use the two files that get extracted in the BINARY folder then? They are about the same size, just have different filenames, e.g. the 208M firmware 1.40 had files S8301000.140 (69 kb) and S8301001.140 (1833 kb), the 1.50 firmware has 131 (69 kb) and 132 (1836 kb), i.e. there is no additional encryption of any kind on the newer files?

And is it correct that there is no 1.53 available for the S11 like there is for the 211M model (i.e. the EBK/UBK drives)?

Yes, of course. Sprawdź PW ;)

Do you have any Pioneer BDC-207BK \ DBK?
You need a kernel and firmware for BDR-PR1EPDV. How do you know who to look for.
There may be no difference in performance between Epson drives and "our"
