I temporarily have access to a GCA-4040N in a Dell Inspiron 5150 which I just updated from C110 to C111. I tried the GCA2GWA update, but it failed with this error message immediately after opening the program: "You can't upgrade the drive to a old version"

Used hexedit on the GCA2GWA.LGE File and changed the 49e0 line from B107 to C112 saved the file and flashed.
Drive now states as GWA-4040N C112, but is burning DVD-R as I write this, will let you know how it goes, so far so good.
Edit:- Worked fine, burnt at 2X on Ritek G04
Apparently this will only burn DVD-R at 2x (DVD+R at 2.4 or 4X), but better that 0X (Me very happy  )

We have a flasher built, need to go test it. In the mean time we modded the firmware revision to C112.

I've amended the GWA flasher to accept the GCA drive as a valid target but now get the mesage "The version of the LGE file does not match the one of the drive".  I'm presuming that the *.lge files are merely flash files for the drives with headers that describe content. I can see the drive identifiers stored @ 0x495E onward - first in reversed pair and then plain. Later on there is a further identifier without firmware version - I hacked this to match GCA but to no avail. Anyone else got any more useful thoughts. Hello, i have same problem "The version of the LGE file does not match the one of the drive" with my Compaq / HP Multibay DVD+R/W

I flashed my GCA with the GCA2GWA firmware and now it works with DVD+R and DVD-R media. But the GWA firmware has no support for bitsetting and I really need bitsetting.
@TDB: Do you have a flash tool for downgrading the GWA drive to an GCA drive?

Successfully upgraded to C111 (inspiron8600) with the dell flasher. But GCA2GWA doesn't recognize my drive (neither before nor after upgrading to c111) "Can not find the target drive"  It just doesn't show up on the drives list. Am I doing something wrong?
tomber
EDIT:
Worked now!
I took the Dell Flashing Tool and the GCA2GWA.lge
Great! Thanks Guys! Now I can use that huge stock of -R I still have from the old computer!

Ok. I have an HP ZD7000 that has (had?) the GCA-4040N.
First I used GCA-4040N_C111_Dexity.exe to flash it from it's original firmware to a GCA with the dell C111 firmware.
Then I used GCA2GWA to flash it to a GWA with C112.

I burned a DVD-R movie no problem, generic media.
Just as an fyi though, any of the flashing tools above didn't work under XP SP2, unless I booted in to safe mode, then they worked just fine. Probably an aspi thing...

Median Gericom Uk Package which was on sale in the uk in Feb. 2004
Gericom Model: 755IN0
Using Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD ver. 8 plus current updates. DVD+R copies ok but does not close the process and hangs at the end. DVD can be read on writer but not on DVD player. -R and +RW are both work on separate player (GVG DV-995 Supplied by W H Smith in the uk). I have followed the thread but have not been brave enough to risk a firmware update.
Support appears somewhat slow with these drives. Hence, waiting with interest.

You should use the Original DELL B107 provided here. http://tdb.rpc1.org/#GWA4040N
The flashing process takes about 40 seconds. There have been some reports that the writing of +R discs is slowed, see the other 4040N threads. You can always flash back to the HP 1.19 firmware.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings - there is now a RPC1 firmware for the LG HL-DT-ST GWA-4040N (GCA-4040N). Thanks to The Dangerous Brothers.
I have a Acer Ferrari 3000 with a GWA-4040N which was previously RPCII - the B107 hacked patch of a dell badged version now works.
Link here: http://tdb.rpc1.org/#GWA4040N.

Just wanted to say awesome work Dangerous Brothers. I have a LG HL-DT-ST GWA-4040N in my Advent laptop (which appears to be a rebadged Medion). Applied the firmware with no problems and now rpc1
Keep up the good work guys.

Just one question is the Dell B107 the latest date firmware for this drive or are manufactors giving them their own codes (B107 (DELL), C108 (DELL), 1.19 (HP), 1.01 (GERICOM), 1.02 (ARIMA/eMachines), 1.02 (Fujitsu-Siemens), 1.03 (Fujitsu-Siemens), and 1.02 (MEDION). )
I.e is the Dell C108 later and more up to date than the B107. Not too bothered as "dont fix it if it aint broken". Im just wandering
