Work has began and is under construction by olofolleola4.
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 (Reference Image)) is because that 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.
Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows or GNU/Linux(-libre)
- SATA controller in IDE mode(?) or USB to SATA Controller (olofolleola4 tested this with JMicron JM20337)
- 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 or by restarting the computer.
- Specific instruction for GNU/Linux(-libre):
sudo wine ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_-_FIRMWARE.exe
ODDs
- ASUS BW-16D1HT with firmware 3.00 --> 3.10:
First flash 3.10MK (SHA1: 70762635c4bbd324c4f2095dc336acb3b0764919), then flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE) (SHA1: 4130578520c024218a1d99f86311525a05bccb60).
- LG (HL-DT-ST) WH14NS40 (SVC CODE: NS50) 1.00 --> 1.04:
First flash 1.04MK (SHA1: 501e141e101f34806741fc78469bb235f6c1056f), then flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10MK (SHA1: 70762635c4bbd324c4f2095dc336acb3b0764919), and lastly flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE) (SHA1: 4130578520c024218a1d99f86311525a05bccb60).
- LG (HL-DT-ST) BH16NS55 (SVC CODE: NS55) with firmware 1.00(?) --> 1.04:
First flash 1.04MK (SHA1: 522835987c3793450d7cddb65b307a7a08f96d2d), then flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10MK (SHA1: 70762635c4bbd324c4f2095dc336acb3b0764919), and lastly flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE) (SHA1: 4130578520c024218a1d99f86311525a05bccb60).
- Asus BC-12D2HT (PCB: JB8 2015.05.08) (Asus Label (circle) IDs: 90DD0230-B20000, 90DD0230-B20010) with firmware 3.00 --> 3.11:
The following text is WIP (Work-in-Progress), needs confirmation: First flash 3.11MK (SHA1: 73ae04273b8af1fb49b6471f446f3385cba4acec), then flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10MK (SHA1: 70762635c4bbd324c4f2095dc336acb3b0764919), and lastly flash ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 (DE) (SHA1: 4130578520c024218a1d99f86311525a05bccb60).
End of text which is WIP (Work-in-Progress).
To-Do:
- Provide compressed archive with all the ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer files in the near future!
