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!

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, I have a Pioneer BDR-209BDK that I'd like to crossflash to BDR-211 to be able read UHD discs with it. Is it possible ? Thanks in advance!

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! Here is a BDR-208DBK. It was made 07/2013 and is quite older than a BDR-211. There is no BDXL label on it's tray panel. I am wondering if this drive may be capable for UHDs also? I assume someone has unfortunately already done a firmware update in the past:

Hi guys, first of all, sorry for posting in english. I've got the following drive:


Is there any chance to crossflash this drive such that it supports UHD discs? If so, I'd highly appreciate if there's a chance for me to get the flasher and the firmware :)

Thanks in advance for any help!
