    HOW CAN I UPDATE HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20N XA02

    When I tried to burn a 25GB Blu-ray disc using ImgBurn, I got an error.
    I will share all the details with you, including the disc information.

    I have searched extensively for firmware updates that could help, but to no avail. All the updates I found did not recognize my drive in order to proceed with the update.

    Most recently, I managed to dump the drive’s firmware and analyzed it using the MediaCodeSpeedEdit tool.
    Upon inspection, I discovered that the types of discs "RITEK-BR3-000 "I’m trying to burn are not listed in the supported media list, which explains why burning fails when using ImgBurn.​

    -My questions are:

    1-How can I update this type of drive?

    2-Is it possible to modify or patch the current firmware file?

    3-Can the drive be flashed with a different firmware, such as XL07 instead of XA02?

    4- Where can I find the dump file for version XL07?

    If anyone has experience with this or has attempted something similar, I would really appreciate your input.​

          Yes, I tried all the methods, but after you gave me the link, I noticed that it’s possible to cross-flash it, so I thought, why not try converting it and then converting it back to XL07? I downloaded another firmware and faced the same issue, so I considered putting it into flash mode or safe mode—I’m not sure what it’s called. The method is to turn off the computer, then hold the eject button and power on the computer for about ten seconds.
          After the computer booted up, I was able to flash it normally with the XL07 firmware without converting it first.
          The strange thing is, I had tried this before and it didn’t work—I don’t know why it worked this time.

          Thank you, you help me 🙏 ❤️

            bug of the month: write caching setting for the hard drive in device manager
            by ChaosLegionnaire
            i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.

            so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed...

            novice user attempting first BIOS write on ASUS laptop
            by alphabetty
            Hello first post!


            Ok so after an (ASUSTek) optional Windows update, my old ASUS E403NA laptop rebooted and froze in the BIOS menu screen and was unresponsive so after about 30 mins I powered off and back on again. Now i just get a power LED and a black screen, I have tried all the basic suggestions and all the suggestions on the ASUS site, spoke to ASUS support who said I will need to pay for an RMA.

            The laptop is worth €50 so I won't be doing the RMA at god knows what price.

            So I have seen some videos where people have reprogrammed the BIOS...

            RT809F Chip Write Failure - Winbond 25R256JV
            by CapThatBrass
            Hi,

            I've managed to take an image dump in BIN format of my Dell Latitude 5420, which had a Winbond 25R256JV chip installed.

            I used an RT809F programmer to obtain the BIN, using the supplied iFix RT809F programmer application (latest version being 20220830).

            The programmer automatically found the settings to read the chip but selected the Winbond W25Q256FV instead (my actual model isn't available on the listing within the software). The image came out fine - I did this multiple times to clarify the data being read was the same each time.

            Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.
            by lalle-
            Hello!

            I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
            [OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
            I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
            The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
            I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...
