Just installed my 4163b yesterday.

It was manufactured January 05 and shipped with a102... you might want to use the newer firmware.

Here is a link to the firmware page;

Others in this forum have compiled pages with links if you look.

I got A100, but it's inside my writer. If you know how to get it out, I'll send you a copy.

It seems it's not. We'll wait and see if Kenshin can confirm that it's not possible to back up the firmware before overwriting it. I'm not in the great hurry to update mine, so we have time.

It should be possible though, cause every time I updated my motherboard BIOS, i got the old one saved, so...

I believe MTKflash and MTKWinflash do have these options... LG's are Mediatek-based, so the utility should work.

LG GSA-4163 uses the Renesas (Renaissance Semiconductor for Advanced Solutions) chipset.

RENESAS is a joint venture between Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric.

I doubt very much that LG will be interested in making a utility to back up the old firmware. They will assume noone will ever have any need for the superceded firmware, except maybe to sue them or hack the firmware...

Anyway, as I've said, I'm not in any great rush to update mine, so when someone figures out the way of doing it, I'll be willing to give it a go. And I'll find those MKTflash or whatever it's called and give it a spin. Let you know how I go.

I don't know if there's a publicly available tool for "downloading" firmware file from one's own LG DVD writer. LG DVD writers are based on Hitachi technologies. The Renesas chipsets are also designed by Hitachi.

This fellow started the thread that he needs one. I got one, and I'm willing to help, but looks like I won't be able to.

If you have a reason important enough, you will probably get it. It's just not available to the public.

Is it executable containing the firmware or just a *.bin firmware file?

Now we need help from someone who knows about those things. Updated firmwares coming from LG are "built-in" inside an executable program that does the flash of the drive with the new firmware. I don't know how to replace the firmware that is part of the flasher with this file. As somebody already said, LG 4163 uses Renesas chipset, so the Mediatek flashers won't work. Does anyone have a firmware flash program that will work with LG 4163?

There you go, Dangerous Brother comes to the rescue again.

Now, why in the world did you need this old version, Alex G? Something shifty going on, hmm?

Mikie,

glad you so pointedly asked that.

I was very curious about the need for an A100 probable reversal FW.

Maybe I miss something, but it looks like to me that the dos flasher included in the zip file is a rpc1 patcher...nice tool indeed, but then a dumper/flasher is the missing one

It is not an RPC1 patcher, it is a DOS flashing tool.

Again, sorry for pointing that, but those options (which work well)
aren't exactly what i mean to be a flasher


Code:
D:\3500\New Folder\gsa4163A100>GSA4163B.EXE
Usage : GSA4163B [-rpc] [-auto] [-raw File]

                -rpc            RPC1 Patch
                -auto           Auto Reset Patch
