The reason (as of 2020-Mar-15) why LG/Asus BD ODDs needs to be flashed into Asus BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE - Downgrade Enable) (most probably ODDs using PCB: '''JB8 2015.05.08''' ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429374270607720461/693522730414374932/IMG_20200328_190956.jpg Reference Image])) is because that firmware supports Lead-in and the OpCode 0xf1[http://forum.redump.org/post/72629/#p72629][https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/commit/0eaf36944a1fc8531b303d1168c82fe8d6a04ec4] (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[http://forum.redump.org/post/72760/#p72760] of Lead-out through cache.

==Latest compatible official firmware version for some of the LG (HL-DT-ST) (rebadges/clones from Asus/Dell/HP) BD ODDs to support DiscImageCreator:==
+
On 2026-02-18, RibShark released [[OmniDrive]], including a modified version of the ASUS 3.02 firmware that has the same features as the original modified 3.10 firmware (enabled lead-out reading), and many more features and improvements!
-
'''JB9 2015.09.03 ODDs''':
+
The old 3.10 modified firmware is no longer recommended to be flashed as it is obsoleted by [[OmniDrive]]. There are no downsides to flashing [[OmniDrive]] over the old modified 3.10 firmware, all previous features are retained with no downsides. While the 3.10 modified firmware remains acceptable for new dumps, we strongly recommend upgrading firmware as soon as possible, and using it for new dumps.

'''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 [https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/152d/2338 JM20337] and [https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/a102 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):
+
-
<code>sudo wine '''ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_-_'''FIRMWARE.exe</code>
+
-
 
+
-
'''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.
+
-
Make sure 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.

Note: If you have issues or questions with flashing your drive, please ask on the redump forum or VGPC discord. It is much easier to help you before you flash your drive, than after flashing it incorrectly!.

History

On 2022-04-04, RibShark released a modified version of the ASUS 3.10 firmware that enabled lead-out reading without using the cache.

On 2026-02-18, RibShark released OmniDrive, including a modified version of the ASUS 3.02 firmware that has the same features as the original modified 3.10 firmware (enabled lead-out reading), and many more features and improvements!

The old 3.10 modified firmware is no longer recommended to be flashed as it is obsoleted by OmniDrive. There are no downsides to flashing OmniDrive over the old modified 3.10 firmware, all previous features are retained with no downsides. While the 3.10 modified firmware remains acceptable for new dumps, we strongly recommend upgrading firmware as soon as possible, and using it for new dumps.

Flashing Instructions

See the OmniDrive wiki page for flashing instructions.
