Looking to crossflash a BDR-209BDK to a UHD compatible firmware. Not interested in remote flashing services, figured I'd ask here. Would be appreciated!

Napisany przez skyrider (Post 1477577)

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

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.

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.)

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!

Hello @billycar11
I sent you a private message 2 days ago. Perhaps you didn't got it ?

Napisany przez tahitibub (Post 1477176)

Hello @Coopervid,

Don't worry, I didn't pay @billycar11 (and that's a good thing, because I'm pretty broke right now!). I did, however, pay for my MakeMKV license.

In fact, jabdburner provided me with the flashing software, the appropriate firmware file, and the instructions (it's pretty straightforward).
Everything went as planned, the only thing I couldn't do was back up the old firmware

Now I can play 4K UHD movies on my Pioneer player. A mega big thank you to @jadburner and you!

NB: I do have one question, though ... Is there an RPC-1 version of the BDR-211UBK firmware?

Hello,

First of all, thank you for welcoming me to this forum.
I'm French, and unfortunately I do not speak Polish. I will therefore write this message in English, and I hope that this is okay for you.

I have a Pioneer BDR-209MBK drive that I would like to unlock so that it can play 4K UHD videos.


If I understand correctly, it seems possible to flash it with the firmware from a BDR-211, but I have not been able to find detailed instructions and the necessary files to do it. In addition, I would like to backup the current firmware before flashing the new one.

Could someone send me a detailed tutorial with the necessary files?


Thank you.

Do you know if it exist a tuto or a explanation to do this crossflash ?
