        The new UHD Drive Tool 2.0.0.2 supports to downgrade lg wh16ns40 drive with firmware 1.04 now.

        Anyone who has issue downgrading this drive can update DVDFab to have a try.

        NOTE: The drive model will become "WH16NS60" from "WH16NS40" after downgrading the firmware, but don't worry, it's safe to downgrade and the downgraded drive will be able read the back-up UHD Blu-ray discs well.

          I am replying to you after 2 years, sorry. I have 2 of these drives with the WH16NS60 firmware, is it possible to get them back to the WH16NS40 firmware?

              Thanks but they show in there as the WH16NS60 models now. All my drives are WH16NS40 models.

                  did you try what is listed under "Troubleshooting" - drive safe mode ?? perhaps you can restore your drives firmware there.

                      That didn't work either. I also tried the suggestions on this site and it doesn't work. The LG Firmware program won't work either because it sees it as a WH16NS60. This isn't very pleasant. I can't believe DVDFAB's software turned my drives into something else and I can't get them back now. I always wondered why the drives were so loud and grindy sounding and it is because of the other firmware. I bought 2 new WH16NS40 and they don't grind when used.
