Flash your LG Blu-ray drive for UHD ripping
trev.bot flash reads your LG drive’s model and firmware, picks compatible firmware itself and walks you through the flash. It handles ASUS and Buffalo drives built on LG hardware too.
The app checks your LG drive and shows whether activation is needed before flashing.
Which LG drives
LG Blu-ray drives, including ASUS and Buffalo drives built on LG hardware. The app checks your exact drive and firmware and tells you whether a flash is available. If your drive is in an external case, the app reads the drive inside.
Support depends on the firmware and connection. The app checks both before offering a flash.
What the flash changes
Your drive gets firmware that lets ripping software such as MakeMKV read 4K UHD Blu-ray discs. Features depend on your drive, and writing discs may behave differently after flashing.
What you do
Connect the drive, with no disc inside.
Open the app, choose the drive and run the check. Allow the app to read the drive if your computer asks.
Prepare the flash. The app downloads the firmware and checks it.
Reconnect the drive if the app asks.
Confirm the drive and press and hold to flash.
When the app says Flash complete, test the drive with your discs.
Caution
Firmware changes carry risk, and no check can rule out a failure. Keep the drive’s cable and power connected and leave the app open until it finishes. Read the precautions.
