Ok, I know that, as of yet, his drive is unmoddable because the key cannot be dumped. I also know that there doesn't appear to be an ETA for the completion of the research for the drive and the release of the firmware.
My question is, for the more 'programming' types out there, why does a simple firmware revision create such problems? Why wouldn't one be able to simply use the R707 point for extraction or LO83info? I am sure that there is some explanation for this, there always is :) I was just wondering what that would be.
Here's a question for the really, really tech savvy: how is it that one goes about experimenting to find how to dump keys on these drives? It can't just be random guess and check, surely, there has to be some kind of methodology. If anybody knows, it would be very interesting to hear!
With the 74850C, you can use a probe/spear to get the DVDkey. Then Lite-ON removed that exploit with the 83850C firmware. Then someone found another hole that could be exploited in dumping the DVDkey. Once the decryption method was released to the scene, Lite-ON quickly patched up that hole with the new 93450C firmware.

you can use Jf ver 1.67 to read dumped stock f/w files. But please bear in mind that as of 1.67 there was no reason to support 83v2 and v92. Also, 1.67 was released early in reaction to sammy/benq 1.61 leak. At that time a large overhaul was ongoing to the firmtools engine to accommodate encrypted lite-on f/w natively Wink .
1. Open the dump in the target
note** i. liteon encrypted f/w will not open on the source tab.
ii. 93 f/w will show as 74 as they are very similar...
iii. 83 v2 will look like 83 again very similar
2. right click in the target tab and select "Save Dummy"
3. now reopen this dummy on the source side.
4. open which ever Lite-on f/w YOU think is best in the target side
note** 1.67 will NOT spoof a 93 correctly to non-encrypted types
however, 167 will not alter the inquiry between lite-on revs
so if you use the f/w Carranzafp posted the inquiry strings will be unaltered,
but the key and serial info WILL be transferred.... and there will be no e66....
