@jadburner

You will definitely be happy...
PR1ML-C is made and ready for you...
Updated to the latest fw.1.75, works very nicely, tests very well in the Pioneer Error Rate Utility program.....I feel sorry to part with it.......
Do you have Pioneer Error Rate Utility 2.6.1.0? Have I sent you? Because Windows 10 requires this version for proper operation...

do you think its necessary to flash kernals as well or just the main firmware
I used to crossflash cdrw and dvdrw drives back in the day and all you had to do is flash the firmware

When crossflashing Pioneer drives, we provide you with the kernel and firmware. You should use both. Many Pioneer firmware .exe files actually contain both kernels and firmware.

can I extract the firmware from the downloaded exe firmware update file?

Yes, if you're careful you can use something like 7-Zip to extract the firmware, and kernel if present, from a Pioneer flasher (.exe). They are normally in the Updater's BINARY folder. 132 is the firmware and 131 (if present) is the kernel.

Be careful not to extract and flash / crossflash your drive to any Pioneer firmware dated December 2022 or later. Doing so will remove UHD capability from the drive and prevent further crossflashing.

would that still be true for someone who had a chip programmer?
I got a clippable chip programmer

11T_BDR-S11JX_FW153EU.exe is for hardware SAT 8800.

11TM_BDR-S11JX_FW153EU.exe is for SAT 8801.

If your 209D has hardware SAT 8600, use the SAT 8800 firmware. If your 209D is SAT 8601, use the SAT 8801 firmware.
