crossflash Asus BW-16D1HT to Vinpower WH16NS48?
 

Sorry for writing directly in english and for this kind of crossposting, but since when Cdfreaks/Myce closed (i was a member there too) this is the only old-school forum where these kind of informations are available.
So, I'm looking for softwares and firmwares to crossflash my Asus BW-16D1HT into a Vinpower LG (to have something more updated and to make error scan). My Asus was made in May 2014 so i think i've to crossflash to WH16NS48, not the NS58, am i right?
I've looked here https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f29/asus-bw...o-cegle-96858/ and here: https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f29/crossfl...8/#post1357850 but could find what i was looking for

Can anyone help me woth those files and some help? Thanks in advance


google-translated: kiedy Cdfreaks/Myce zostało zamknięte (też byłem tam członkiem), było to jedyne forum starej szkoły, na którym dostępne są tego rodzaju informacje.
Szukam oprogramowania i oprogramowania sprzętowego, które umożliwią mi crossflash mojego Asus BW-16D1HT z Vinpower WH16NS48. Mój Asus został wyprodukowany w maju 2014 roku, więc myślę, że muszę wykonać crossflash na NS48, a nie na NS58, mam rację?
Zaglądałem tutaj https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f29/asus-bw...o-cegle-96858/ i tutaj:https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f29/crossfl...8/#post1357850 ale mogłem znaleźć to, czego szukałem
Czy ktoś może mi pomóc z tymi plikami i jakąś pomocą? Z góry dziękuję

thanks to czary2mary i got flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin and BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe from here https://www.szybkiplik.pl/hmcYr8UELh
I tried "BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe" on windows 10 and windows 7 (x64) and with both it doesn't recognize my Asus Bw-16d1ht, while another LG updater ( N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe ) does see my asus

Am i doing something wrong? what should i do? should i try to use N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe first and then BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe ? (i don't want to risk too much cause i don't even have original ASUS firmware in bin format and cause i don't want to flash to the wrong firmware)


dzięki czary2mary mam flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin i BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe stąd https://www.szybkiplik.pl/hmcYr8UELh
Próbowałem BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe na Windows 10 i Windows 7 (x64) i w obu przypadkach nie widzi mojego Asusa Bw-16d1ht, podczas gdy inny aktualizator LG (N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe) widzi mojego Asusa
Czy robię coś źle? co powinienem zrobić? czy powinienem najpierw spróbować użyć N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe, a następnie BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe? (nie chcę za dużo ryzykować, bo nie mam nawet oryginalnego oprogramowania ASUS w formacie bin)

unfortunately i've still not succeeded. :sciana:
i tried sdftool with MakeMKV but the program says i have 16dh1t with MT1939 and it should be MT1959. So sdftool flasher doesn't work either :( :( :( (it says something like "it's not the correct chipset" )
i disassembled the burner and the chipset is marked as MT1959UWDN 1416-BCSL FC4KFASH

So why makemkv says it's a mt1939 chipset? what should i do now?

i already tried :sciana::
1) BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe but it doesn't recognize my asus 16dh1t
2) ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_(Modified).exe .It finds the burner but doesn't flash to firmware DE_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin
3) sdftool with makemkv doesn't flash firmware cause it says i have the wrong chipset (MT1939)
all these method tried with windows 10 x64 ( method 1 and 2 tried with win7 x64 too)

4) N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe finds my asus, but i didn't tried to flash firmware cause i'm afraid to brick it (i've been suggested to use BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe only)

any other suggestion?
czary2mary you helped me a lot, do you have any other possible solution?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance

rozebrałem palnik i chipset ma oznaczenie MT1959UWDN 1416-BCSL FC4kFASH
Dlaczego więc makemkv twierdzi, że to chipset mt1939? co mam teraz zrobić?
już próbowałem:
1) BH16NS40(1.03-A0)-patched.exe, ale nie rozpoznaje mojego asusa 16dh1t
2) ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_(Modified).exe. Otwiera się, znajduje nagrywarkę, ale nie aktualizuje oprogramowania sprzętowego DE_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin
3) sdftool z makemkv nie aktualizuje oprogramowania, ponieważ wyświetla się komunikat, że mam zły chipset (MT1939)
wszystkie te metody wypróbowano w systemie Windows 10 x64 (metody 1 i 2 wypróbowano również w win7 x64)
4) N1.03-C0_BH16NS40_150526_dev_NOBJ.exe znajduje mojego Asusa, ale nie próbowałem aktualizować oprogramowania, bo boję się, że go zepsuję


jakieś sugestie? @czary2mary bardzo mi pomogłeś, masz jakieś rozwiązanie?

The problems are probably caused by this different hardware. I don't know why you have a different chipset in this equipment... I've never seen anything like this in this Asus/LG model...

The only hope is the modernized DosFlash V2.0 from this topic = you need a computer with Windows XP-32 bit / 7-32 bit.
DosFlash V2.0 patched to support BH16NS40/BH16NS55 drives

DosFlash V2.0
https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/attachments...40_patched.zip

But first I would backup the firmware also DosFlashV2.0 -


I don't know how possible it is to install the VinPower firmware correctly in this case !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k thanks czary2mary but what do you think about that chipset "contraddiction"? MakeMKV says mt1939 but the chipset i took a photo of it's a mt1959uwdn ... why it is that? [ ok, dzięki czary2mary, ale co sądzisz o tej sprzeczności chipsetu? MakeMKV mówi o mt1939, ale chipset, któremu zrobiłem zdjęcie, to mt1959uwdn... dlaczego tak jest? ]

if i find an xp-32bit or win7-32bit where i can try DosFlash v2.0, should i try to write to write flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin ? and if it goes wrong i should be able to re-write again original firmware ? [ jeśli znajdę XP-32bit lub Win7-32bit, gdzie mogę wypróbować DosFlash v2.0, czy powinienem spróbować napisać do Flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin? a jeśli coś pójdzie nie tak, powinienem móc ponownie napisać oryginalne oprogramowanie sprzętowe? ]

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a case in this design... Production date: 2014.
I have no idea why it is like this - especially since the mt1959 chipset is at least 2015/2016 released...

Maybe it's a warranty unit that was repaired at the service center and has already received a newer version of the motherboard... The design of the motherboard comes from this design.

It's hard for me to say how the drive will behave after uploading the firmware from VinPower -HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin
The result is difficult to predict

You definitely need to make a copy of this unit's firmware first.

thanks again for your answer, i'll try to find a winXP 32bit or a win7 32bit where i can use Dosflash 2.0 with HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin and see what it can do.

i searched the forum to find an image of a BH16ns40 from 2012, doesn't it look the same as my Asus 16dh1t (with the same MT1959UWDN chipset) ?

i connected the asus 16dh1t to an old p5b-dx with intel sata controller in ide mode. i used a dvd+r live WinPE of Win8 32bit and used dosflash v2.0 to read the flash and it seems that it worked. the result is in the pic appended.

am i doing everything correctly? (i'll follow this guide: DosFlash V2.0 patched to support BH16NS40/BH16NS55 drives )

could i try to write VinPower flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS48_1.D3.bin without brickin it? or is it too risky?

Yes - you can try to upload the firmware from VinPower - hopefully it will be fine.
If it doesn't work well, restore/upload a copy of the firmware made with DosFlash V.2.0 of the Asus software

Thanks a lot czary2mary. I tried to write the firmware with Dosflash v2.0 and it seems that it worked!! :spoko:
My Asus BW-16D1HT is now recognized by Win7 x64 as a WH16NS48 1.D3, it can read BDr and DVDr, and it does BDr disc quality, not sure if it burns BD/DVD well cause i haven't tried it yet but i hope there won't be any kind of problem.

Now i'll check WH16NS48 thread to see how it works better (what are its best disc-quality read speed and CMCMAG5 write speed)

Thanks again czary2mary, have a great Holiday :)
