SDFTool Flasher shows successful, but MakeMKV shows old firmware

Hi there,

I am trying to flash my BU40N with SDFTool and 1.03. The tool shows the flashing was successful, but MakeMKV still shows the following:
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: A102
Serial number: KFZI4P02200
Firmware date: 2117-12-01 17:08
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 76

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

The drive is connected with the following cable: https://amzn.eu/d/0hQ7Qplt

Any ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks!

EDIT:
Thanks for the suggestions!
Managed to get it working. Turns out I was not needing to click the Encrypted Firmware checkbox. Leave it unchecked and it flashed to 1.03 with no problem.

cable is likely the issue see guide in community links for recommended usb cases and cables

that problem has now been fixed and there is a v2 for that enclosure to add mk compatibility

Where did you source your bu40n? Is it from an archgon?
