After flashing with a WH16NS60 - 1.02 firmware, the optical drive will only work with MAKEMKV (per my research thus far) and other software will request using "their" variant of a firmware in order to work correctly. bin is a patched 1.02 WH16NS60 version bin. The HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_ file (from mk-firmware-pack-20200214.zip) allows the WH14NS40/WH16NS40 drive to be crossed flashed as a WH16NS60 version 1.02 drive. After flashing with a WH16NS60 - 1.00 firmware the optical drive will work with all software (ANYDrive, DVDFab, etc.) as if the actual WH16NS60 optical drive was actually installed. bin is an actual 1.00 version bin with no modifications except for the DE (Downgrade Enabled) flag set to true so that drives with a higher firmware revision can be flashed to the 1.00 version firmware. The DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.00.bin file (from (Modified) ASUS ODD FW Changer () + UHD Friendly Firmwares + Latest MK Pack.zip) allows the WH14NS40/WH16NS40 drive to be crossed flashed as a WH16NS60 drive. Here goes with my simplified explanation. Both worked without issues (IE: read and burned without problems) or the sleep bug. I have flashed my WH16NS40 drives (over 5 - not a lot to many but to me it's a lot as most people don't have more than 2 or 3 drives - and yes, I'll be getting more) to both variants of the firmware. Why the confusion? Well to me it's because there is no simple explanation as to why one version should be used over another. Other than that the drives appear to be identical. So, it appears LG drives use the 14 or 16 to indicate max burn speed. The LG WH16NS40 optical drive can burn at a max speed of 16x The LG WH14NS40 optical drive can burn at a max speed of 14x I know the OP was asking about their WH14NS40 drive so to clarify: No wonder there are so many questions being asked about the correct way the flashing of a optical drive is to be done. we recommend 1.00 because of the wider ripper compatibility that's all." Yet, here your are recommending 1.02MK, IMO this leads to confusion as newbies are trying (maybe struggling) to do this and one way says to do it with version 1.02MK, while another way says to do it with DE (Downgrade Enable) version 1.00. I asked a similar question and your response in that thread (.
NO GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK FOR you response to this thread you indicated to download and use WH16NS60 1.02 mk. It is strictly meant to learn and be helpful for others. 1st - And foremost, apologies for the extreme long post.Ģnd - This post is not to start a flame war.
