In 2015, some LG drives got a new hardware design, a new front (bezel) and started to 'see' the content of UHD discs: those were WH16NS40 and BH16NS40, with SVC NS50 on the label.They did not implement AACS2 protection, but they're good enough to work with DeUHD tool, called them UHD friendly. WH16NS60, WH14NS40, WH16NS40, BH16NS55 > HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.4K UHD Blu-ray disc is a new type of Blu-ray disc that is not compatible with old drives (made before second half of 2015), just like BD XL didn't work with non XL drives. ***If the drive was modded previously, don't check the 'enc?' box*** In SDFtool Flasher, select the desired drive, select WRITE, check the 'enc?' box, press on '- Please select A Firmware to Write -', navigate to the correct firmware file, open it, and then press on START. ***This step created a backup of the current firmware in the program's Firmware_Dumps folder, save it in case something goes wrong***Ħ. Run SDFtool Flasher, select the desired drive, select READ and then START.

Download the modded firmware pack and extract it.ĥ. Download SDFtool Flasher and extract it.Ĥ. Run MakeMKV and verify your drive platform is MT1959.ģ. ***Make sure your drive uses MT1959 chip was made after 2015***Ģ. Luckily, the MakeMKV community came up with a modified firmware for most common ASUS and LG Blu-Ray drives. The Blu-Ray drive won't read Blu-Ray media!!! Completely absurd and ridiculous. It appears that hardware vendors have begun blocking UHD within the drives' firmware. If you bring in a movie, you may face an unpleasant surprise. I don't know if you guys and girlettes are aware, but latest internal Blu-Ray drives (and its firmware) cannot read UHD discs.
