The Firmware Page

I have just installed a new LgWH10SL30. The firmware on Diskspeed shows 1.0. I was able to locate the 1.06 update (took a while), upon trying to perform the update it showed that I had the 1.09 firmware, which was the one I was looking for originally. Does the 1.0 that was displayed mean it is 1.0-9? I see where the firmwares are listed that way for Lg, i.e. 1.0-6, 1.0-9. Sorry if this was overlong or not too clear.

Not to be redundant, but how can I confirm my firmware?

Just run Discinfo or Nero driveinfo or dvdinfopro to get that info.

Did all of them, still reads 1.00, even after I upgraded to 1.09. I am wondering if the 1.0 is just a standard and does not specify the exact firmware.

Run Discinfo and post the output.

Some of the newer LG Firmwares are numbered differently. so the update will be listed as 1.00-09

I have the same problem, I updated to 1.00-9 but in the discinfo it still writes 1.00!!! Any ideas, please???? Also when I updated it was writting that the current version is 1.00 and it will update to 1.00, even I am certain that I dl the 1.00-9!!!!

yes its listed as 1.00, as its the new numbering for bluray drives. don't worry it has updated, but its listed as 1.00 still. check via dvdinfo, discinfo, nero etc. all be the same.

I have tried all these progs and it still says 1.00, so if I understand well I will have to rely that the update has been done even I can't verify it through a prog, right?

You updated with the firmware, so what is your problem?
Just accept it and try again, the updater will tell you its already latest!!

I am sorry if I got you mad, it wasn't my intension to do that. When I re-updated it didn't told me that it is already updated and it made again the update... that was the reason that I searched through all these progs to verify the firmware but I couldn't cause all says 1.00...

OK, didn't know that, so its not your fault. No worries!

So LG should get blamed for such an bugged flasher tool.............

Is the new firmware your talking about this?

Will there ever be a firmware that will allow scans of media?

I've also seen somewhere on the LG site that the 10x drives are discontinued for the next models, primarily 12x burners. They probably won't see retail discontinuance until 2012 at the earliest as retail is slow call old products discontinued when they have a LARGE stock of them in supply.

Has anyone tested the new write strategy in the lastest firmware by scanning a written disc, then made comparisons?

This firmware is not new....

There will never be such a firmware because the chipset doesnt support scanning. Any tools promoting such features for this drive are fakes.

That firmware in your link is technically speaking for the BH10LS30 ... if you want the equivalent 1.00-09 firmware for the WH10LS30 (technically speaking both 1.00-09 firmwares identify themselves internally as 1.00-A9 not as 1.00-09), then you can download it from here:

or if you prefer a direct link from here:

The two firmwares (BH vs WH) are almost the same, the only difference is a few bytes accounting for the name change and the CRC bits.

The latest firmware works quite nicely as far as I tried it and I haven't heard anyone complaining about any bugs/issues related with it, so it is safe to update your drive.
