Can I crossflash a Pioneer BDR-X13 (BDR-213T) to a UHD model?

Hi everyone,
My drive info is:
Drive Information
OS device name: W:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-X13
Revision: 1.04
Serial number: XXXXXXXXXXX
Firmware date: 2023-08-01
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS9400

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.04/ID56

Since this drive physically supports reading and burning 100GB+ BDXL discs, the hardware should be capable. My direct questions are:
1.Does this drive currently support crossflashing to a UHD model (like the X13U or 213U)?
2.If not, is this purely due to a firmware lock? Is there any chance of crossflashing it in the future?

Your firmware version might be too new for it to be able to flash it, but maybe Bill can do it!

Hey! That's cool, I've made my own flasher as well! Hope we can get in touch and exchange ideas and thoughts, developing pioneer flashers are a very small community and it's great to see more people researching/developing it! Hope to hear from you!
