Hello Team - New to the Forums...

I have the following 2 drives and would like to know if possible can these drives types be cross-flashed to enable 4K UHD disc ripping with MakeMKV and any recommendations what would be the best firmware. Also would it be possible to get a copy of bdrflash?

Hello jadburner,

Thank you very much for helping out!!!

I read out the drive information of my Pioneer drive.
What confused me a little was, that the check marks for BD-R XL and BD-RE XL were already set.

Nevertheless I tried to start the flashing process and it stopped with the message "Drive and firmware hardware types don't match."

Any idea what could be wrong with this drive?

Kind regards

Hi Jadburner

Any chance a BDR-XD04T fw v1.30 can be cross-flashed forUHD capability such as the BDR-XD06J-UHD?

Revision: 1.30 Serial number: LHDL008501WL

Bus encryption flags: 13

Pioneer RS8130

Firmware version: GENE

Hi again Jadburner,
Additionally, how to dump the original kernel &firmware files as backup on USB Pioneer BDR XD/S drives before cross-flash?
Thanks
Rich

Unfortunately, no. XD04 drives can only be crossflashed into drives in the same series.

Firmware foe Pioneer S12U
 

Hi i have a Pioneer BDR-S12U burner. Is it possible to flash it from firmware 1.05 back to a firmware 1.01 or 1.02? Please help me to solve this problem.

Many thanks

I wish we could help, but the 1.05 firmware on your drive prevents crossflashing or downgrading. So you will have to wait until there is a workaround for that issue. Sorry.

Hi jadburber,

I have the following drive:

As far as I understood, it should be possible to flash this drive to read UHD-Blurays.

Can it be flashed using Linux or only with Windows?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! New to the forum.

I've got an external iodata drive (iodata brp-ut6le) which contains a Pioneer BDR-UD03. 1.10 firmware from 2017. Works great for FHD.

I believe it's possible to cross flash a BDR-UD04 firmware to enable UHD, is that correct?
