Note: This wiki page is not complete. In the meantime, if you have issues please ask on the redump forum or VGPC discord.
Background
Some info on firmware downgrading the drive from the MakeMKV wiki is available here.
Known good LG/Asus BD ODDs were initially recommended to be flashed with Asus BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE - Downgrade Enable), especially ODDs using PCB: JB8 2015.05.08 (Reference Image)) The 3.02 (DE) firmware supports Lead-in and the OpCode 0xf1[1][2] (normally used by Plextors to read the EEPROM, but in the case with Asus BW-16D1HT 3.02, it reads the cache) to read 1 sector[3] of Lead-out through cache.
On 2022-04-04, RibShark released a hacked version of the 3.10 firmware that enabled lead-out reading without using the cache.

Flashing Instructions
From here and below, this guide will focus only on JB8 2015.05.08 ODDs.
Requirements (before BW-16D1HT 3.11)
- Microsoft Windows or GNU/Linux(-libre)
- SATA controller in AHCI Mode, IDE Mode or an USB to SATA Controller (olofolleola4 tested this with JMicron JM20337 and Intel Corporation Q170/Q150/B150/H170/H110/Z170/CM236 Chipset SATA Controller (AHCI Mode))
- A stable power source for both the ODD and the computer.
- No disc inside the ODD.
Some notes before you begin
- After each file have been sucessfully flashed, it's a good idea to power cycle the ODD, either by disconnecting the SATA Power cable (wait at least 15 seconds before reconnecting) or by restarting the computer.
- Specific instruction for GNU/Linux(-libre):
sudo wine ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_-_FIRMWARE.exe
General Process
- First, make sure MakeMKV is installed: https://www.makemkv.com/download/
- Next, download the SDFtool Flasher (updated version) from this thread in the MakeMKV support forum: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22896
- Run the SDFtool Flasher.exe, and it will open a dialog box. Select your ODD (drive) from the first drop-down menu.
- Click the second drop-down menu, 'Please select a Firmware to Write,' and choose the firmware from the list below, depending on your drive/firmware combination.
- If the drive currently has an encrypted firmware (e.g. 3.11, check the encrypted firmware list here), ensure there is a green checkmark next to 'Encrypted Firmware.' If there isn't, click on the Red X to make it a green checkmark.
- Then click S T A R T and it will start flashing the firmware.
