4K UHD Drive Firmware Downgrade Solution

Advanced and Powerful

Downgrade UHD Unfriendly Firmware for Normal Backup

The existing firmware on a 4K UHD drive (also known as a 4K Blu-ray drive), including both internal and external models, may restrict the reading of UHD disc data as well as the ability to copy UHD discs to a hard drive, computer, or to rip them into digital formats for playback on multiple devices. DVDFab UHD Drive Tool is a firmware downgrade utility designed to help you revert your 4K UHD drive's firmware, enabling legal backups of your 4K Blu-ray discs with tools such as UHD Copy and UHD Ripper.
