This is a guide which (hopefully) answers some of the questions which people keep asking about LG DVD writers in this forum. If you are a newbie looking for help, or just want some background information on LG DVD writers, this might be worth reading.

The information in this FAQ was taken from the posts of many people in this forum, posts from other forums, LG's own documentation, various LG writer reviews, and some experiences of my own. I do not consider myself to be an expert on LG writers in any way, nor can I guarantee that the information here is 100% accurate. Corrections, comments, disagreements? Start a thread discussing them!

I have tried to give credit to the people who contributed to the information in this FAQ where possible. However, due to the fact that so many were responsible for the information gathered here, I may have inadvertently left certain people out. Thanks to everyone who contributed to meaningful discussion in this forum section, in some way or another. Your input was the life blood of this FAQ.

This FAQ is split into sections. Each section is one post. My apologies about the bad formatting. I typed this in word processing software, then did a c/p. I have tried to fix things so it looks as decent as possible.


Model numbering/internal hardware difference issues :

1.What does the drive model name/number mean?

2.I have seen a GSA-HxxNBK/BI/BG on sale. Is this a different model from the GSA-HxxN?

3.What are the differences between OEM models and retail ones?

4.How do I tell if the writer in the system I bought whole from X manufacturer is an OEM LG?

5.What chipsets are LG writers based on?

6.I've heard of Hitachi DVD writers. Aren't they the same as LG writers?

7.What are the writing characteristics of a Panasonic/Renasas LG writer?

8.Which is better, a Renesas or Panasonic chipset LG writer?


DVD-RAM issues :

9.How do I write to DVD-RAM discs with Windows 98/2000?

10.My LG writer is supposed to support DVD-RAM writing at 5x, yet it seems to only write at 2x. Is my drive defective?

11.Is there a way to disable the read back verification process when writing to DVD-RAM discs?


Firmware and updating issues :

12.Where can I find firmware updates for my retail model LG writer?

13.Where can I find firmware updates for my OEM model LG writer?

14.Can I go back to a previous version of firmware?

15.Does region free firmware exist for my LG DVD writer?

16.Does anti-riplock firmware exist for my LG writer?

17.The instructions that come with LG's firmware version xx11 state that "this firmware update is for drives with original firmware versions below xx10". I presently am using xx10. Do I have to flash with xx09 first?

18.The instructions that come with LG's firmware state that my internal LG writer must be connected as the only drive on the secondary IDE channel and jumpered as master, in order for the drive to be flashed. Is there a way I can flash the drive without going through all this trouble?

19.I have an external LG writer but according to the instructions that come with LG's firmware, I have to connect the drive as master on the secondary channel in order to flash. Does this mean I have to remove the drive inside my external LG writer and connect it to an IDE channel in order to flash it?

20.My system locked up/rebooted/turned off during the firmware flashing process. What can I do to recover from this?

21.Is there a tool which I can use to backup the existing firmware on my LG writer, something like MTKFlash?

22.Is there any way to extract the firmware into a binary form I can use on Linux/Mac OSX/some other OS?

23.Are there are models of LG writers that can be cross flashed to other models?

24.I've seen firmware updates for my model of LG writer with a slightly different version numbering system, such as DJxx/JJxx/DNxx. Is this the same as the DLxx/JLxx/DNxx firmware that came with my drive? Can I use this firmware?

25.I have cross flashed my H10A->H10N. Can I cross flash it back to a H10A if I need to?

26.I have crossflashed my H10N->H12N. Can I cross flash it back to a H10N if I need to?

40.I cannot get my GSA-4163B/4167B/H10x to be detected as a UDMA4 drive. What is going on?

41.Audio CDs which are burned on my 4167B will not play properly on my stand alone CD player. The first track will not play, but the second onwards plays fine. How can I fix this?

42.My new GSA-4167B refuses to recognise blank discs/CD-Rs/DVD media/DVD movie discs/all of the above. What can I do?

43.The quality scans done with my BenQ writer of discs burned with my H10x/H12x look absolutely horrible! What is wrong with my writer?

44.Where can I find firmware version JL04 for my H10A/JL11 for my H10N/LL11 for my H10L? It used to be available on LG's websites but I cannot seem to find it anymore?

Model numbering/internal hardware difference issues :

1.What does the drive model name/number mean?

Older LG DVD writers generally have a model name/number of the following form :
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GxA-yyyyZ
From left to right :
  • HL-DT-ST stands for Hitachi LG Data Storage
  • DVDRAM indicates the drive supports read/write to DVD-RAM media
  • 3 letters :
    • GSA drives are retail models
    • GWA, GMA and GCA models are OEM versions (see Q3, Q4 and Q11 for more information)
  • 4 digit model number (e.g. 4160)
  • one letter, usually :
    • B for internal desktop units (e.g. 4160B)
    • D for external units (e.g. 2166D)
    • N for ultra slim notebook units (4082N)
Newer LG DVD writers generally have a model name/number of the following form :
  • The first three parts are still the same
    • HL-DT-ST, DVDRAM, GSA- for retail models
    • HL-DT-ST, DVDRRW, GSA- for OEM models
  • one letter :
    • E for external units
    • H for internal desktop units
    • T for slim laptop units
  • 2 digit model number :
    • even numbers are retail models (e.g. E10N, H20L)
    • odd numbers are OEM models (e.g. H11N) (see Q3, Q4 and Q11 for more information)
  • one trailing letter :
    • A non-lightscribe models (10A)
    • N also non-lightscribe models (10N)
    • L for light scribe capable models (20L)

2.I have seen a GSA-HxxNBK/BI/BG on sale. Is this a different model from the GSA-HxxN?

The extra K, I, G and other prefixes seem to be dealer codes. They appear to have been added to distinguish between the different coloured bezels, whether the drive comes with bundled software, and whether IDE/audio cables are included. These were probably added by dealers to help in stock taking, although similar codes have been seen in the product pages of one of LG's own websites. The drive is however, identical to the version without the extra prefixes.

See this post for more information : http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...3&postcount=21

Thanks to onebigload for clarifying this issue.

3.What are the differences between OEM models and retail ones?

Put briefly, this is a mess.

OEM models (GWA, GMA, GCA, odd numbered 2-digit GSA models) tend to come bundled with PCs sold by various OEMs (e.g. HP). They generally differ from their retail (4 digit GSA , even numbered 2-digit GSA models) cousins in that they do not have DVD-RAM support (with the exception of the GMA). Some of them do not even use the same chipset as their retail equivalents, and so are different internally. There does not seem to be a way to tell what the exact differences are from the model number/name.

There is another key difference between OEM models and retail ones : LG does not support OEM models themselves with firmware. LG has a rather odd policy on OEM writers. They seem to make custom models for OEMs which are different from retail models. As mentioned above, it usually involves leaving out DVD-RAM support. They also expect OEMs to provide the firmware support for these drives themselves. So if you have one of these OEM drives, your best bet is to look for firmware updates from the OEM which made your system.

Occasionally, an OEM model will appear on the market for sale as a bare unit. These are typically internal models. How they end up there is a matter of some conjecture. The bottom line however, is that LG will not provide firmware support for these OEM models and since you have no OEM to turn to, you will have problems getting firmware updates. As such, it is best to avoid OEM models which are sold as bare units. Save yourself the trouble and get a retail version. There is a short discussion on this here :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=144384
(Thanks to Kenshin)

Certain companies also re-badge LG's retail models and sell them as their own. These are not to be confused with OEM models since these have model numbers which are the same as retail ones (4 digit GSA/even numbered 2-digit models). These drives are safe to purchase provided their model numbers are identical to the model numbers of retail models.

4.How do I tell if the writer in the system I bought whole from X manufacturer is an OEM LG?

Use Nero Infotool which will show you the model name/number of the drive. If this fits the form shown in Q1, it is an OEM LG writer.

Sometimes, the OEM will replace LG's normal model name with something of their own. If this is what you experience, then you have to open the casing of your system and have a look at the label pasted on the top of the writer. You should be able to find the real model name/number printed on that label.

5.What chipsets are LG writers based on?

Most LG writers use chipsets made by either Renesas or Panasonic. The following is a short list of known chipsets used in various models :
  • GSA-4120B/4160B : Renesas R8J32005FP
  • GSA-4163B/5163D : Renesas R8J32006FPV
  • GSA-4165B/4167B : Renesas R8J32007FPV
  • GSA-H10A : Renesas R8J32018FPV
  • GSA-H/E10L : Renesas R8J32018FPV*
  • GSA-H/E10N : Renesas R8J32018FPV*
  • GSA-H12N : Renesas R8J32018FPV
  • GSA-4164B/4166B : Panasonic MN103SA6GSJ
  • GSA-H20L : Panasonic MN103SB4GSA
  • GSA-H20N : Panasonic MN103SB4GSA#
  • GSA-H22N : Panasonic MN103SD2GSA
  • GSA-H30N : Panasonic MN103SC0GSA
  • GSA-H42N : Renesas R8J32021HFPV
  • GSA-H44N : Renesas R8J32021HFPV
  • GSH-H62N : Renesas R8J32022HFPV
  • GSH-H62L : Renesas R8J32022HFPV
  • GSA-H50N : Panasonic MN103SC7GRT1
  • GSA-H55N : Panasonic MN103SC7GRT1
  • GH-20NS10 : Renesas R8J32030HFPV
  • GH-22NP20 : Panasonic MN103SD8GRA
  • GH-22NS30 : Panasonic MN103SD8GRA
*Please note that while the chipset for the H10N/L is known, the chipset used for the E10N/L has not been confirmed. These drives show many characteristics in the way they work that are identical to the H10N/L so it is a reasonable guess. Confirmation cannot be given until someone actually opens up their E10N/L units to check the chipset used, or when LG releases a firmware update.

OEM models may not use the same chipsets as their retail versions, even though the model number (4 or 2-digit number to the right of GSA/GWA/GMA) is the same.

(Thanks to 2601 for getting hold of so many new models and graciously opening them up and snapping photos of the chipsets)

Code:
#The H20N has been successfully cross flashed with H20L firmware, 
which suggests the two drives use the same chipset. Again, no one 
can fully confirm this until the drive is opened and the actual chipset 
used is examined. See here for more information :

6.I've heard of Hitachi DVD writers. Aren't they the same as LG writers?

This issue is a little confusing. Although HLDS does stand for Hitachi LG Data Storage, Hitachi appears to separately market its own version of LG's drives. These drives seem to be available only in Japan. They typically appear on sale only as drives rebadged by other brands, usually Buffalo or IO-Data. Hitachi does not seem to sell them directly. They do not seem to be identical to their LG counterparts.

There are several notable differences externally :
  • the faceplate is different
  • the metal casing of the drives are painted black, whereas LG's versions are typically unfinished silver
  • the sticker on the drive shows "Hitachi" as the brand, instead of "LG"
The Hitachi drives tend to have different features as well :
  • a UDMA4 IDE interface compared to LG's UDMA2 interface
  • hardware based automatic bitsetting/book typing
  • different firmware versions (Hitachi's have a J in the firmware number, LG's have a L instead)
  • consequently different read speeds for various media types
Both LG and Hitachi's writers are apparently designed by HLDS but they are made in different factories - Hitachi's drives seem to be made in Malaysia, whereas LG's are made in their factory in China or in certain rare cases, Korea.

With earlier models (4163B and below), the differences in features were apparently implemented in EEPROM, according to TDB. Later models however, seem to have implemented these features in firmware alone. See this post for more information :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...7&postcount=22

See these webpages for pictures of Hitachi's versions of LG writers :
http://homepage2.nifty.com/yss/4167b_p2/4167b_p2_01.htm
http://homepage2.nifty.com/yss/4167b_p3/4167b_p3.htm
http://homepage2.nifty.com/yss/gsah10n/gsah10n_djou.htm

Thanks to YSS for the links above and TDB for their insight into the workings of LG writers.

7.What are the writing characteristics of a Panasonic/Renasas LG writer?

LG uses two different chipset lines (Panasonic and Renasas) for its writers which have certain identifiable characteristics when writing to DVD discs in terms of writing strategies used :
Renasas
  • 8x writing uses 6x->8x Z-CLV
  • Some 8x media can be oversped to 12x using 6x->8x->12x Z-CLV
  • 12x writing on 16x media is only available for 16x DVD+R media, not supported for 16x DVD-R media
  • 16x writing uses P-CAV (very fast)
  • 18x writing uses CAV
Panasonic
  • 8x writing uses 4x->8x Z-CLV
  • 12x writing is available for both 16x DVD+R and 16x DVD-R media
  • 16x writing uses CAV (not as fast as P-CAV)
  • 18x writing uses CAV
This information was contributed over a long period of time by too many people to name. Thanks to all who contributed to this information in some way.

8.Which is better, a Renesas or Panasonic chipset LG writer?

Neither. Both lines of writers are generally decent, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. Depending on your needs, one or the other might be more suitable for you :
Renasas
  • Very fast 16x burns
  • Slightly better support in terms of 3rd party firmware hacking tools
  • Can burn some 8x DVD+R media at 12x
  • Unable to burn 16x DVD-R media at 12x
  • H10x/H12x models produce burns that seem to give inaccurate quality scan results when scanned with BenQ writers.
Panasonic
  • Supports burning of 16x DVD-R media at 12x
  • Produce burns that have no trouble when scanned with BenQ writers
  • Slower 16x burns than Renasas chipset writers
  • Does not overspeed any SL media
  • Support in terms of 3rd party firmware hacking tools is not quite as good as for Renasas chipset writers
Some information on this subject is available in this thread :

DVD-RAM issues :

9.How do I write to DVD-RAM discs with Windows 98/2000?

Windows 98 and 2000 can read DVD-RAM discs, but they do not have built in support to write to these discs. So you need to install third party software in order to get write ability for DVD-RAM discs. You have two choices :
  1. Nero InCD
    This is included as part of the copy of Nero Express that comes with most LG writers. It supports up to UDF 2.5 but is known to be quite buggy.

  2. Panasonic DVD-RAM drivers
    These used to come bundled with very early versions of the GSA-4163B and other earlier models. There are separate versions for Windows 98, 2000, XP and XP64 and they support UDF 1.5 and 2.0. They can be downloaded from Panasonic directly, but as they will check for the presence of a Panasonic writer on your system, they will only work with Panasonic writers by default. The drivers can be hacked so that they do not perform this check. These have been verified to work with the GSA-4163B, 4166B and 4167B. More information, and links to the already hacked drivers can be found here :

    http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...9&postcount=19
    http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/dvd/

    Thanks to both rdgrimes and mobilenvidia for hosting these drivers and xkodi, for explaining how the drivers may be modified in the first place.
Note that although Windows XP can write to DVD-RAM discs, it formats them using FAT32. FAT32 works fine but is apparently slower than UDF when writing files which are larger than around 50MB in size. So if you use large files of this sort with your DVD-RAM discs, and XP is your operating system, you might still want to consider one of these two options.

10.My LG writer is supposed to support DVD-RAM writing at 5x, yet it seems to only write at 2x. Is my drive defective?

One of the features of DVD-RAM discs is that during a write operation, the DVD-RAM driver will read back the data it has just written and compare it with the source data. The purpose of this action, is to verify that the data that was just written is the same as the source data you are writing. This is one of the features that gives DVD-RAM use its robustness - it ensures that what you have written on the disc is what you read back. However, this continuous read back operation effectively slows down the speed of the write process, effectively cutting it down by about half. So what you are observing is the normal behaviour for DVD-RAM writing and nothing is wrong with your drive.

11.Is there a way to disable the read back verification process when writing to DVD-RAM discs?

While reviewers are able to use Nero CD Speed to perform benchmark tests with the read back process disabled, there does not seem to be a way to disable the read back verification for normal write use.

In any case, there is very little reason to do so. Assuming you were able to do this, you would be negating one of the key features that makes DVD-RAM discs so reliable, even though write operations would be faster. If that is what you are after, you might as well just use DVD+RW/-RW discs instead.

Firmware and updating issues :

12.Where can I find firmware updates for my retail model LG writer?

For retail (GSA) models, there are two ways to get hold of firmware updates for your LG writer :
  1. From LG's service websites

    http://www.lgservice.com
    Pick a country and then click on DVD-ROM(Writer)

    Note that not all the service websites are kept up to date with the latest firmware. Certain countries' websites tend to take longer to be updated. The US website for example, used to be frequently out of date, although this seems to have been fixed recently (perhaps someone working for LG USA was reading these forums?).

  2. Using LG's ODD on-line firmware update tool

    This tool is also available from LG's service websites as listed above. LG often releases new versions of firmware through this tool before it gets put on their service websites. Earlier versions were quite buggy and displayed the following problems :

    1. Windows 2000 SP4 with SR5 - will run but will not find any new firmware
    2. Windows XP SP2 - will not run at all and produces a "runtime error 7" message or similar

    LG has released a new version (2.01.0220.01) which fixes problem (b). However, it is still unclear if it fixes problem (a).
Instructions for using the firmware are included and you should examine them before attempting to flash your writer. Note that these firmware updates come as an executable file which must be run in Windows 98/ME/2000/XP in order to update the drive's firmware.

For re-badged retail models, you may or may not be able to use LG's own retail firmware. Some re-badged retail models have a different firmware numbering system. If you have a drive of this sort, it is probably best to get the firmware from the company that re-badged the drive. Something may be slightly different with these drives, when compared to LG's normal retail models. For example, Hitachi sold its own re-badged GSA-4163B drives (as compared to the usual LG branded ones), which had firmware versions of the form ANxx (LG's retail version uses firmware numbered as A10x). People who used LG's own firmware on that drive found that the drive could no longer do book typing.

Other re badged retail models may work fine when flashed with LG's own firmware. The risk entirely is up to you if you choose to do so.

13.Where can I find firmware updates for my OEM model LG writer?

For OEM models (GWA, GCA, GMA, newer odd numbered 2-digit GSA models), you have to look for firmware updates from the OEM which built the system your drive came in. LG does not provide firmware support for OEM models as it expects the OEMs to provide the firmware (see Q3). Note that the firmware for the same OEM model from a different OEM (e.g. using firmware for an OEM model from Fujitsu on the same model from HP) sometimes will not work. The reason being that certain OEMs use slightly different model names (e.g. "HL-DT-ST GWA4164B" vs "HLDTSTGWA4164B") which the firmware flashing program does not recognise as the same drive model.

LG's retail version firmware usually will not work on equivalent OEM models (e.g. using firmware for the GSA-4163B on a GWA-4163B) because LG's firmware flashing program performs a check when it is run to see if the drive model it is being used on, matches what the firmware was intended for. This applies to newer models (GSA-4163B and above). Some OEM models are different internally from their equivalent retail models, so using the firmware for the retail model would not work anyway.

The retail version of firmware for older LG writers (4160B and below) may work with their OEM equivalents assuming the hardware is identical. A different flashing program was used for those drives which was apparently less draconian about checking the drive model. See this thread for more information :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=163937

One or two websites have links to firmware for LG OEM writers, such as the following :These may be helpful to you, although you should once again remember that firmware for a drive from one OEM may not work with a drive from another.

Thanks to ala42 for information about LG's firmware.

14.Can I go back to a previous version of firmware?

Yes, you can. LG's firmware updates do not include any form of version checking which prevents you from going back to an older revision of firmware. Simply reflash the drive with whatever previous version of firmware you want.

15.Does region free firmware exist for my LG DVD writer?

No official region free firmware exist.

But you can use MediaCodeSpeedEdit to make your drive region free. There you can also find the instructions how to use the MCSE tool.

Note that using these hacked or modified versions of firmware you will probably invalidate the warranty on your drive.

16.Does anti-riplock firmware exist for my LG writer?

It is possible to remove the riplock for the following drive models using Media Code Speed Edit (MCSE), a firmware hacking tool written by ala42 :

The way this is done is that MCSE is first used to modify the firmware for these drives to remove the riplock. Then drive is flashed with the modified firmware. This should work with any version of firmware for these drives, including DJ13 (4167B) and JJ11 (H10N). TDB's region free firmware versions should also work.
Instructions are as follows :
  1. First, you will need a firmware update file for your drive (see Q12 if you don't know where to get this). If your drive already has the latest firmware, just download the firmware update file of the same version as on your drive. You will also need MCSE, which is available here :
    http://ala42.cdfreaks.com
  2. Start MCSE. Click the "Load" button -


  3. Select the name of the firmware update file. Then click the "Open" button -


  4. Select the "increase read speed" check box at the bottom right hand corner of MCSE's window. This will tell MCSE to remove the riplock for you -


  5. Click the "Save" button -


  6. Read the warning message that appears. Once you are sure you are comfortable with what we are doing and accept the risks involved, click "Yes" to accept the terms -


  7. Give a filename to save the modified firmware and click the "Save" button -


  8. Exit MCSE.

  9. Run the modified firmware you saved in step vii to flash your drive. Please note that this carries the same risks as flashing with normal firmware so take the same precautions as when you do that.

    Once the flashing process is completed, the program should prompt you to reboot your system. Do so.

    When the system comes back up, the riplock on your drive should be gone.
More information on using MCSE with LG writers is available in this thread :

LG 4164/4166/H20/H21/H22/H30/H31/H50/H54/H55/H58/H73
Note :
If you have never flashed your drive with firmware updates before, it is recommended that you do not attempt this as this may be a bit too complicated for you. Please also note that you use these instructions entirely at your own risk. While they should work, we cannot guarantee that they will. We cannot be held responsible in any way if anything goes wrong.
Please be aware that flashing your drive with any modified firmware, or cross flashing your drive will almost certainly invalidate the warranty on your drive.

Thanks also to ala42 for the excellent MCSE and for adding the ability to remove the riplock of these drives.

17.The instructions that come with LG's firmware version xx11 state that "this firmware update is for drives with original firmware versions below xx10". I presently am using xx10. Do I have to flash with xx09 first?

No. This is apparently a mis-translation from Korean, which is the language those instructions were originally written in. It should actually read something similar to "...for drives with original firmware versions up to xx10". You can find out more about this here : http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=140289

Thanks to Kenshin for clearing this issue up.

18.The instructions that come with LG's firmware state that my internal LG writer must be connected as the only drive on the secondary IDE channel and jumpered as master, in order for the drive to be flashed. Is there a way I can flash the drive without going through all this trouble?

Many users have successfully flashed LG writers jumpered differently and with other drives connected on the same channel. This is probably just LG playing it safe and you should be able to flash the drive without having to reconnect everything.

However, if this is your first time flashing a DVD writer, you might want to follow those instructions just to be safe.

One thing that the instructions do not mention that might be helpful, is to boot Windows into safe mode first and then flash your LG writer. The benefit of this is that it bypasses the loading of certain third party drivers which may interfere with the flashing process. However, it may not be possible to flash in safe mode on
all systems : with certain system configurations, a DVD writer is inaccessible with Windows in safe mode. Should you observe this with your system when you boot into safe mode, do not worry - nothing is wrong with your drive. Certain DVD tools prevent access to certain DVD writers with Windows in safe mode. It just means that you probably can only flash your writer with Windows booted in normal mode.

19.I have an external LG writer but according to the instructions that come with LG's firmware, I have to connect the drive as master on the secondary channel in order to flash. Does this mean I have to remove the drive inside my external LG writer and connect it to an IDE channel in order to flash it?

No. Whoever wrote those instructions probably copied off the instructions meant for flashing an internal model. Ignore those instructions as they are incorrect. You can go ahead and flash the external writer as it is.

20.My system locked up/rebooted/turned off during the firmware flashing process. What can I do to recover from this?

LG writers have a sort of "safe mode" which they go into when a bad flash occurs. Usually, when this mode kicks in, you will find that the drive is still detected by Windows, but the drive may not read or write to discs, or both. Simply re-flash the drive and when it is done, the drive should be working again.

However, there are cases where the drive may not kick into "safe mode". This can happen if the flashing process is interrupted while writing the boot code to the drive. In such a situation, your drive will probably not be detected by Windows at all. There is unfortunately, nothing you can do about this and the drive is almost certainly dead.

Thanks to ala42 for explaining this.

21.Is there a tool which I can use to backup the existing firmware on my LG writer, something like MTKFlash?

Unfortunately, no such tool exists. MTKFlash itself only works on MediaTek chipsets, which LG writers do not use. This is also why a bad flash which does not go into "safe mode" is lethal for LG writers - there is no low level recovery tool that can be used on them.

22.Is there any way to extract the firmware into a binary form I can use on Linux/Mac OSX/some other OS?

Unfortunately, no. To begin with, no flashing program exists for current LG writers, which runs in any OS apart from Windows. No one has published any tool to extract the firmware in binary form from LG's flashing programs either. A DOS based flashering program apparently existed for the GSA-4120B and older drives, but this does not seem to work with later models of LG writers. It appears that the only way to flash the newer LG writers, is using Windows.

23.Are there are models of LG writers that can be cross flashed to other models?

Yes. Note however, that cross flashing writers carries a risk that if it does not work properly, you may be left with your drive in a state where it is inoperable, with no way to recover from this. There are many situations where cross flashing may or may not work, with no way to know for sure until you try. If you do succeed, it invalidates the warranty of your drive. This sort of thing is for experts only, so if you do not know for sure what you are doing, do not try!

GSA-H10A -> GSA-H10N
These two drives appear to be identical internally. The firmware revision code for both drives shows the string "GSA-H10NMAIN", indicating that the firmware used for both drives is meant for the same drive. This alludes to the fact that the drives use identical hardware.

The H10N has more powerful features, which is the main reason behind cross flashing the H10A -> H10N :

H10A :
  • 10x max DVD+/-R reading speed
  • 8x max DVD+RW reading speed
  • 8x DVD+DL max writing speed
  • 4x DVD-DL max writing speed
  • 5x DVD-RAM max reading/writing speed
H10N :
  • 16x max DVD+/-R reading speed
  • 13x max DVD+RW reading speed
  • 10x DVD+DL max writing speed
  • 6x DVD-DL max writing speed
  • 12x DVD-RAM max reading/writing speed
The cross flash is accomplished by simply flashing the H10A with TDB's version of JJ11 for the H10N. However, due to the fact that the firmware used for the cross flash is actually based on Hitachi's version of the H10N, there are additional benefits :
  • UDMA4 interface (H10A : UDMA2)
  • hardware based automatic bitsetting/book typing (H10A : manual bitsetting/book typing)
  • DVD-VIDEO single layer discs rip at 10x max (H10A : 5x max)
  • DVD-VIDEO double layer discs rip at 8x max (H10A : 5x max)
These features have been verified to work correctly on the cross flashed H10N.

Should you want to flash your drive back to a H10A, you can do so using TDB's version of JL0x firmware for the H10A.

More information on this subject can be found in this thread :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=177603
(Thanks to TDB for the modified firmware which makes the cross flashing process possible in the first place, the various people in the thread above who cross flashed their drives and ran tests and especially those who responded to my requests for information on certain features of the drive.)
GSA-H10A/N->GSA-H12N
These three drives appear to use virtually the same hardware and differ only in terms of firmware. Several people have successfully crossflashed both H10A and H10N drives into H12Ns. The main reason for doing so is to gain the ability to do 18x burns.

Differences in features between H10N and H12N :

H10N :
  • 16x max DVD+/-R writing speed
  • 6x max DVD-DL writing speed
H12N :
  • 18x max DVD+/-R writing speed (for certain media codes only, see below)
  • 8x max DVD-DL writing speed
Only media with the following 16x media codes can be burned at 18x :

DVD+R
  • MAXELL 003
  • MCC 004
  • YUDEN000 T03
DVD-R
  • MCC 03RG20
  • MXL RG04
  • TYG03
The differences in features between the H10A and H10N are explained above in the section about cross flashing a H10A->H10N.

To cross flash a H10A/N->H12N, you simply flash using TDB's version of UJ12 for the H12N. UJ12 is Hitachi firmware, so as with cross flashing a H10A->H10N, you gain some extra capabilities :
  • UDMA4 interface (H10N with LG firmware : UDMA2)
  • hardware based automatic bit setting/book typing (H10N with LG firmware : manual bit setting/book typing)
Note that It is possible to flash back to a H10N using TDB's version of H10N firmware.

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread....1&page=1&pp=25
and on this page :
http://dvd-r.jpn.org/GSA-H10N/H10N2H12N/index.html

(Thanks to TDB for the modified firmware which makes the cross flashing process possible in the first place, the various people in the thread above who cross flashed their drives and ran tests.)
GSA-H10L -> GSA-E10L

The GSA-E10L is essentially a GSA-H10L in an external case. The one reason why you would want to do this is to change the H10L (normally a UDMA2 device) into a UDMA4 device. This may help in achieving 16x burns if you use your H10L in an external casing.

To cross flash the H10L->E10L, you need specially modified firmware from TDB.

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=198986
(Thanks to dodecahedron who did most of the work getting this cross flash done and TDB for the modified firmware.)
GSA-H10N->GSA-H11N

While the H10N has been successfully cross-flashed to a H11N, very little is known about the H11N internally because nobody has yet opened the drive up to examine the components inside. It appears to be an OEM version of the H10N, which means it lacks DVD-RAM support. These drives must be similar in terms of hardware, otherwise the user who cross flashed his H10N->H11N would have killed his drive in the process.

There is virtually no benefit to cross flashing a H10N->H11N. The user who did it actually ended up doing so as an act of desperation while trying to return his cross flashed H10N->H12N back to an H10N.

The cross-flash appeared to have been performed using TDB's version of H11N firmware. The user was eventually able to cross flash his drive back to a H10N using TDB's version of H10N firmware.

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=202684
(Thanks to MangTom for trying this out and TDB for the modified firmware)
GSA-4165B -> GSA-4167B
The GSA-4165B and GSA-4167B are virtually identical internally. The firmware revision code for 4167B firmware shows the string "GSA-4165BMAIN", indicating that both drives probably use the same firmware. There have been successful reports of cross flashing a 4165B to a 4167B. The main motivation for doing so being that the 4167B seems to have better firmware support than the 4165B. However, note that the method used is extremely risky, even more so than normal methods used in cross-flashing! More information on this can be found in this thread : http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=160820
(Thanks to Beefjerky and mobilenvidia who did all the work on these drives.)

Update : it is possible to cross flash a GSA-4165B -> GSA-4167B directly without putting the drive into COR (recovery) mode. The process involves simply flashing the drive using TDB's version of DL13 firmware for the 4167B. This version of DL13 may not check for the difference in model names/numbers. More information here :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...33&postcount=6
(Thanks to TDB for the modified firmware)
GSA-4164B/GWA-4164B/GSA-2164D/GSA-2166D -> GSA-4166B
Certain Panasonic chipset based models have also been successfully cross-flashed to the GSA-4166B. There have been reports of people successfully cross flashing
GWA-4164B drives into GSA-4166B ones. In addition to this, certain HP DVD writers which are OEM 4166Bs (e.g. DVD840e), have been successfully cross flashed to 4166Bs.

Note that it is not likely that you can gain lightscribe ability. The reason being that the lightscribe capable models have an extra sensor used for its lightscribe function. This sensor is missing from non-lightscribe models. So cross flashing with GSA-4166B firmware will not give your drive lightscribe ability. However, the
first generation of GSA-2164Ds had this sensor attached so you may be able to gain lightscribe ability if you cross flash one of those. This seems to be the only exception to the rule though.

GSA-4120B -> GSA-4160B (not fully successful)

24.I've seen firmware updates for my model of LG writer with a slightly different version numbering system, such as DJxx/JJxx/DNxx. Is this the same as the DLxx/JLxx/DNxx firmware that came with my drive? Can I use this firmware?

Firmware with a "J" or "N" as the second letter of the firmware version is usually meant for Hitachi's version of LG writers (see Q6). The "J" version seems to be for Hitachi drives rebadged as Buffalo and IO-Data drives, while the "N" version appears to be for Hitachi drives rebadged as NEC drives. These drives are usually only available in Japan. LG's own writers have firmware version with an "L" as the second letter of the firmware version.

Hitachi's firmware differs from LG's own firmware in that it adds two features to their drives which are missing from LG's own firmware : a UDMA4 IDE interface and hardware based auto-bitsetting/book typing for DVD+R and DVD+DL media. For certain models of LG writers, it is possible to use Hitachi's firmware and gain these features. If you have a Hitachi drive however, it is not recommended that you flash with LG's firmware, as you may lose these very features.

Flashing with Hitachi's firmware from Buffalo or IO-Data, directly on an LG writer will not work as the firmware will check for the current version of firmware on the writer it is being used on, notice the difference in firmware version numbering and refuse to flash. Fortunately, TDB have provided modified versions of Hitachi firmware which do not perform this check and so will work on LG writers. There is the added bonus that TDB's firmware is region free (see Q15) and in some cases, also removes the riplock (see Q16) for certain types of media. However, there is another way to remove the riplock for most of the models listed here which removes the riplock for all types of media (see Q16).

Using this technique, four models of LG writers have been flashed successfully using Hitachi firmware by members of this forum. The following is a list of the drives, the firmware used and the benefits gained by flashing with it :

GSA-4165B
Firmware used : DN15 Windows (RPC1, Auto-Reset and Rip Lock)
Benefits :
  • UDMA4 IDE interface (inherent in firmware)
  • auto-bitsetting (inherent in firmware)
  • region free (TDB's modifications)
  • DVD-VIDEO SL discs rip at 16x max (TDB's modifications)
  • DVD-VIDEO DL discs rip at 12x max (TDB's modifications)
See this thread for more information on this subject :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=176366 (starting from post #7 onwards)
(Thanks to pejakm for testing the firmware on his 4165B)
GSA-4167B
Firmware used : DJ13 Windows (RPC1, Auto-Reset and Rip Lock)
Benefits :
  • UDMA4 IDE interface (inherent in firmware)
  • auto-bitsetting (inherent in firmware)
  • region free (TDB's modifications)
  • DVD-VIDEO SL and DL discs rip at 8x max (inherent in firmware)
Note :
Although the firmware says it is riplock firmware, the riplock part does not actually work correctly.

(Thanks to pejakm for trying this in the first place and all the other people who tried this firmware on their drives.)
GSA-H10N
Firmware used : JJ11 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset)
Benefits :
  • UDMA4 IDE interface (inherent in firmware)
  • auto-bitsetting (inherent in firmware)
  • region free (TDB's modifications)
The riplock for DVD-VIDEO type media is reduced to 8x. For a more complete way to remove riplock, see Q16.

There is thread with direct information on this subject, but this thread is closely related :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=177603
(Thanks to all the people who tested JJ11 on their drives)
GSA-H12N
Firmware used : UJ12 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset)
Benefits :
  • auto-bit setting (inherent in firmware)
  • region free (TDB's modifications)
This thread has some information related to this subject :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=312
(Thanks to 2601 and zhadoom for digging up the information on this subject)
Note that an 80-wire cable is needed in order for a drive to be detected and used as a UDMA4 device. After flashing a drive with Hitachi firmware, it has been noticed that the hard disk LED on a computer casing will blink at the same time as the light on the writer, when the writer is in use (reading or writing). The drive is
actually working correctly and nothing is wrong. This behaviour seems to have been added by the firmware.

Also, the hardware based auto-bitsetting cannot be enabled or disabled by software. As such, burning software such as Nero CD Speed will show the bitsetting features of these drives as being non-existent. This is an incorrect conclusion as DVD+R and DVD+DL discs burned by writers with the modified firmware, will have a book type of DVD-ROM when checked.

While the process of flashing using Hitachi's firmware is relatively straightforward, the changes made to the behaviour of your drive are more complex than those that arise through the use region free firmware. As such, this is not recommended for beginners, but rather for experienced users or those who are at least experienced with flashing their drives with third-party firmware.

Do note that as the firmware used is third-party firmware (even though it is from Hitachi), using it will almost certainly invalidate the warranty cover on your drives. Should you choose to flash your drive in this manner, you assume full responsibility for the risks involved.
