	* If you get an error (e.g. 0x82052603) when flashing a drive that currently has stock/original firmware, your drive is not accepting OmniDrive due to it having a newer firmware versoin.

	====Linux Flashing Notes====		===Linux Flashing Notes===

	Use the MakeMKV command line sdftool (bundled with MakeMKV) to flash the [https://archive.org/download/OmniDrive_v1.0.2 OmniDrive v1.0.2] onto your drive. You will need to check whether your current firmware is encrypted or not (e.g. ASUS BW-16D1HT firmware 3.11 is encrypted).

	The version of `sdftool` that is bundled with MakeMKV 1.17.7 is recommended for flashing on Linux as later versions have a bug that has remained unfixed.

	'''WIP''': Redumper itself now supports flashing MT1959 drives with the following command: "./redumper flash::mt1959 --firmware=HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_1.00_OmniDrive.bin --drive=/dev/sg0" (use your firmware filename, and the path to the correct drive).

	This should work for the BD Writer LG/ASUS desktop drives and BU40N. It does not yet work for the BD Reader-only drives or the LG external drives. If your current firmware is encrypted (ASUS drive with 3.11, or BU40N with 1.02+) then you will need to use sdftool to downgrade it first.

	* If you get an error (e.g. 0x82052603) when flashing a drive that currently has stock/original firmware, your drive is not accepting OmniDrive due to it having a newer firmware versoin. To fix this, you may have to flash a DE "downgrade-enabled" firmware first. The MakeMKV forums are the best source for this.
	* Some drive enclosures/adapters may interfere with flashing the drive (e.g. the INIC-3619 chip in some BU40N drive enclosures). <br> Connect the drive directly to your computer via SATA or use a different enclosure/adapter if you get an Internal error 0x8d000000 when flashing.		* Some drive enclosures/adapters may interfere with flashing the drive (e.g. the INIC-3619 chip in some BU40N drive enclosures). <br> Connect the drive directly to your computer via SATA or use a different enclosure/adapter if you get an Internal error 0x8d000000 when flashing.
	* After flashing OmniDrive firmware on your drive, it will appear to your computer as if it were an ASUS BW-16D1HT or HL-DT-ST BU40N. This is intentional and has no bad side effects when dumping or reading discs. <br>		* After flashing OmniDrive firmware on your drive, it will appear to your computer as if it were an ASUS BW-16D1HT or HL-DT-ST BU40N.
