| | | | |
| - | Some info on firmware downgrading the drive from the MakeMKV wiki is available [https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17058 here].
| + | Redump highly recommends the use of RibShark's custom firmware that is based on MakeMKV's 3.10MK firmware for the ASUS BW-16D1HT. This firmware is cross-flashable on all JB8-based and JB9-based HLDS drives. <br> |
| | + | '''Double-check that your drive is a JB8 drive before flashing, some drive models with the same name are not compatible and will brick your drive.''' |
| | | | |
| - | 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''' ([https://archive.org/download/redump_wiki_images/IMG_20200328_190956.jpg Reference Image]))
| + | You can determine if your drive will be compatible by reading the [http://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/83QAAOSwIrBgrSQT/s-l1600.jpg sticker's manufacturing date] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429374270607720461/693522730414374932/IMG_20200328_190956.jpg PCB date code] on your drive. Drives with a manufacturing date of 2015 or earlier are likely to be JB7 (incompatible). <br> |
| - | The 3.02 (DE) 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.
| + | You must ensure that the PCB code says [https://imgur.com/qmrhNV7 JB8 2015.05.08] (it may be partially obscured by the drive case). |
| | | | |

| + | For older HLDS drives that are not JB8-based, many models can still be flashed with firmware versions that enable scrambled reading and can still be dumped with Redumper (with caveats). <br> |

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===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===
| + | |
| - | * Make sure the drive does NOT contain a disc.
| + | |
| - | * 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.
| + | |
| - | * Ensure you are using SDFtool Flasher v1.3.5 (earlier versions may not correctly detect encrypted firmware).
| + | |
| - | * 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.
| + | |
| - | * Then click '''S T A R T''' and it will start flashing the firmware.

Redump highly recommends the use of RibShark's custom firmware that is based on MakeMKV's 3.10MK firmware for the ASUS BW-16D1HT. This firmware is cross-flashable on all JB8-based and JB9-based HLDS drives.
Double-check that your drive is a JB8 drive before flashing, some drive models with the same name are not compatible and will brick your drive.
For older HLDS drives that are not JB8-based, many models can still be flashed with firmware versions that enable scrambled reading and can still be dumped with Redumper (with caveats).
For instructions on flashing older LG/ASUS (HLDS JB7/JBC5) drive models, see Flashing Older HLDS Drives
^ Older productions of these drive models are not compatible with the custom firmware (PCB code JB7 2011.11.17, typically manufactured 2015 and earlier)
