I was recently trying to flash a Liteon 83850C with JungleFlasher 1.84, Windows XP, and a connectivity kit. I got to the "Erase," stage and JungleFlasher reported there was no flash type. I'm sorry I don't have the log, I'll explain in a second.
While I was trying to research what the problem was, I think my PC did a hardware scan, found the firnware-less DVD drive, and hung. Now, anytime I attach the 360 DVDdrive with no firmware, my system hangs.
Am I out of luck? Is there a newer tutorial I ought to be following to flash Liteons? Finally, I thought I had downloaded the latest LT1.9 software but, JungleFlasher loaded up, LTPlus-838v2v1.1.bin. Is that the current "state of the art," or do I need to find another download?
Thanks for your help!

Freezing usually means you didn't rename or delete the via drivers within windows.

Thank you both for the help. I've renamed the driver and gotten my VIA Sata Card to appear as a yellow exclamation mark. But, now I don't see the drive. I just get the no VIA Ports found error message. If I file through the I/O Port drop down box, it lists only my local hard drive and DVD Drive.
Jungle Flasher claims PortIO32.sys is installed and it is also listed in device manager as, "Winford Engineering I/O Devices, PortIO32 Port I/O Driver."
What else am I missing? Something with the connectivity kit? I've got it attached through SATA, set to com (Vs. USB) and the blue mode light is on.
Oh, and I saved whatever files came from the LO83 info dump. I assume the "Key," file is the key. Is one of them the original firmware, as well?

Thanks for the eject idea. How do I make it eject? With no firmware on it, the drive ignores the connectivity kit's eject requests.
I do rememebr which port it was on. 1X0DC0 on the VIA Sata Card. It does not appear in the IO Port Drop Down Box. Jungle Flasher is reporting "No VIA Ports Found," since disabling the drivers for my card. How do I select the port if it's not listed?
Which of the dumped files is the firmware: Dummy, Identify, Inquiry, Key, or Serial?

I've followed your steps. Jungle Flasher sends the erase request to the wrong port and the request ofcourse fails.
Even if I enter a port into the drop down, it ignores what I've typed and sends the request to the port I over wrote.

When this happens to me i reboot pc and switch on drive just after, You could try the tray half open, to get the drive ejected you will need to poke a tiny screwdriver in the hole on the front of the drive and do it manually, You might also want to download lt 1.9, your jungleflasher loaded lt1.1

The Ports wont be enumerated till you reboot the PC after removing Drivers.
Reboot PC then select the correct Port, Click Intro/Device ID then yes to resend.You will then see ....... Appearing in the log at the bottom, Powercycle the drive and you should have good flashchip properties. If not try Liteon Erase again.
