BH12LS35 Firmware

[PieterViljoen]

Hi, I am ripping my entire CD, DVD, BD collection, and I am testing a few drives to see which one is the fastest overall, so that I can rip my collection as quickly as possible.

I have the following drives:
LG BH12LS35 (1.00)
LG UH10LS20 (1.00)
Plextor PX-B940SA (1.08)
Sony BD-5300S (1.04)
Lite-On iHBS212 (5L09)
Pioneer BDR-206 (1.05)

I have tested them all, but now I want to remove riplock and test them again.

The only drive I am able to riplock patch is the UH10LS20.
I used the official firmware and modified it using MCSE.

For the BH12LS35, I cannot find any firmware, the LG download site does not list the 1.00 firmware for download.

For the other drives I cannot find riplock free firmware, cannot find tools that support these drives, or I do not know how to remove riplock.

If anybody can help point me to riplock free versions of the firmware, or instructions for these drives, that would be great.

Dump the firmware from your drive, try to patch the main part with MCSE and then flash it back. You can do that using DevilsClaw’s Flasher: http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46137&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Since you are at it, let us have a copy as well.

For reference:

Plextor PX-B940SA = BDR-205 rebadge,
Sony BD-5300S = iHBS112 rebadge,

but unfortunately there are no patches available at all for any of your non LG drives. Its possible that some of these drives might not even have a riplock though …

The current version MCSE does not support with BH12LS35. You need to wait the newer version release.

Thank you all for info.

Here is the firmware I extracted using flasher:

Just dump the .bin of my sony 5300s and MCSE does not support. Which mean it will not support Lite-On ihbs112 or any clones of it. Not yet anyway.

The MCSE has already supported all version firmwares of iHBS 112 & 212. You can request ala42 to add support with other Liteon clone Drives, just like Sony 5300S/500S, Plextor PX-LB950SA and Asus BW-12B1LT/ST.

Where do you get ihbs112 are supported? I see it listed as read only.

[2601]

Yes, MSCE does support to read the media table and not to change the write strategy.

Here is my summary of the different drives I tested:

Archiving my CD, DVD and BD collection

[fwiw]

@ptr727 posted a 31% increase in Blu-Ray rip speed on a BH12LS35 by using non-riplocked firmware at his blog http://blog.insanegenius.com/2011/04/archiving-my-cd-dvd-and-bd-collection.html. When I tried MCSE to edit the 1.00 firmware, the Increase Read Speed checkbox is greyed out.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the non-riplocked firmware for the BH12LS35?

[macycat]

I am also interested in the non-riplocked version of the BH12LS35 firmware.

Any help will be appreciated.

[silvermark]

I would LOVE a copy as well. Could somebody PM it so I can share it?

Ripping my CD collection is next to impossible with this Riplocked drive.

I have BH12LS35 too, how do I rip lock it? Thanks for the help.
