Finally it asked and I could type yes and after 20 seconds I saw 'Done successfully' I made a copy of the contents folder on my desktop and dropped in the sdf and firmware bin files and ended up with this command. I kept getting 'file not found' errors even though the bin file was right there so instead of copying in the complete command I had to drag the files in one by one.

Thanks very much for this guide, after some trial and error I was able to flash my drive. The MK designates that firmware as being one that enables LibreDrive in MakeMKV.Īlso, as MartMcNuts suggested, if you want to do this via a GUI, your only choice is to do it via Windows. Step 8 & 9 is actually flashing firmware onto the drive.Īs MartyMcNuts suggested ( viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20967&p=99413#p81430), it looks like you're looking for Firmware WP50NB40 1.01-MK. Steps 1-6 are what you'll need and where makemkvcon is likely located on your system. You can then use it again to actually flash the new firmware onto your drive.
You can use that to find the identifier for your drive. It really is a good resource and is worth studying a post at the top of this thread is quite detailed in the steps necessary.Īs an overview, included with MakeMKV is a command line only program called makemkvcon.

That includes links on where to download files. In some of your other posts on this topic I see you've already been pointed to the big drive flashing sticky thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 Operation started: Sending flash image to driveĪfter hitting Enter the upload and flashing took about 20 seconds. Once you type in yes and hit Enter - you should get the following output: You will then be prompted to type in 'yes' to flash the firmware makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/D5D25996' -f /tmp/sdf.bin rawflash main -i /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_ This will allow you to find your drive identifier, in my case -> ''/IOBDServices/D5D25996'Ġ0: /IOBDServices/D5D25996, /dev/rdisk3, /dev/rdisk3 This step just confirms you are in the right directory You should see a directory listing and one of the objects in the listing is 'makemkvcon' then in terminal change directory - > cd /Applications/MakeMKV.app/MacOS/Contents (this only to make sure both files in same place and nice easy path to type).ĥ. I then copied sdf.bin and the firmware file I extracted from the mk-firmware-pack-YYYYMMDD into my /tmp folder. Extract the file you need for your drive from mk-firmware-pack-YYYYMMDD -> In my case this was -> HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_ where YYYYMMD is the date of the latest firmware packģ.
You can leave the files where you would like and not copy them as I did (Step 4) and not even change into the application direct (Step 5.) - it just means you will have to add the paths to where they are located for you in step 8.

I am on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 on a MacBook Pro 2020 and was able to successfully flash my MD-8107-U3 using titbits of info from this forum and elsewhere. This killed 2 birds with one stone in that after the drive was flashed the LibreDrive functionality is available and the drive is now Region set as well (Region set to 'all')

I actually did it because the Region had not been set on the drive (It came with ZERO software) and some of the other software I was using was complaining that the region was not set. I had some 'fun' figuring this out, this might be helpful for other Mac users to allow LibreDrive to work with the drive.
