Leerage, any chance you could draft a tut for what you did? I have a friend that wants me to flash his liteon but I am not comfortable enough to do it. I would hate to brick it.
1. Used iPrep to get my sata info ( I use the connection on my via card that is closest to the front of the computer) Once iPrep has your sata info and says VIA 6421, click the question mark and it should give you 8 letters and numbers total. The first four are the number/letters you want to remember.
2. Used the lite-on key extractor add-on from DIYgadget
3. In jungle flasher, under dvd key32, chose drop down list under I/O port and chose the corresponding one from iPrep,(0x????) then you should see info populate about vendor and name( name should have the lite-on DG-16D2S in it)
4. COM1 is my db-9 connection, then I ejected the drive, pushed it in halfway, power cycled the drive, connected my alligator clamp to the voltage regulator on xbox connectivity kit, pushed pin into R707 and clicked get key.
5. Returned good key, saved it along with identify and inquiry.
6. Then I went to firmware tool tab, and under source, I clicked "load dump files" and it chose key, identify, and inquiry. Under target I loaded ix 1.5 lite-on firmware and then clicked spoof source to target. Asked me to save Lite_CFW.bin.
7. I then took a jump drive and formatted it and made it bootable from iPrep, deleted all files off jump drive that iPrep put on it, and copied over DosFlash16( contains 2 files DosFlash.exe and DosFlash.typ from DoshFlash 1.7 beta)(google DosFlash 1.7 beta for download) and also copied Lite_CFW.bin. At this point jump drive should only have 3 files in it.
8. Booted to my jump drive and typed dosflash.exe and it will start to populate all info off of sata. Make sure you have any sata CD/DVD drives unplugged. You should see something like
NAME: MXXC(MX25L2005) That is your Lite-ON drive, the one you want (my corresponding number was 6)
9. It will give you 3 different commands, Read, Erase, Write
10. I chose write and it prompted me for firmware so I typed Lite_CFW.bin it started erasing and then started to write the firmware.
This worked for me as I did not uninstall the via drivers and that is why it froze for me in Jungle Flasher when attempting to erase original lite-on firmware. I believe you can dump key inquiry and identify also booting to a jumpdrive. I originally did this on a floppy drive because I couldn't find a program to make a bootable USB drive, only floppy. Then I realized iPrep made a USB drive bootable.

Yes, I did delete that file, and after reboot, windows was still wanting to install. I did manually add in portio32 but after the reboot, windows was still wanting to find drivers for my via card.

just don't worry about it. You can just close that window that pops up. Only time you will need to have them installed then is when you flash a sammy or so.
No biggie to just close a window, or reinstall/delete drivers as necessary.

I am wondering if you can still flash the Benq and Samsung drives the same way with iextreme 1.5 like before with 1.4. I have flashed around 10 Benq drives, 1 Samsung, and a few Hitachi drives so I am not completely new, but still fairly new at flashing. The only reason I ask is because I am wanting to put 1.5 on my Benq system and I haven't read if anyone has done this without CK3 since I don't have mine yet. Sorry if this sounds like I am clueless, but I just want to be careful and follow the directions. I have the tutorials for the Benq and Samsung drives from before so this is why i am asking if using the old way will work with putting 1.5 on the drive. If not, so be it, but a little tutorial for the Benq and Samsung would be nice if someone wouldn't mind doing one for those drives for ixtreme 1.5. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

the old way will work. Make sure you load the new 1.5 definitions into ixtreme.
I know it works because I flashed a sammy the old way, and it went fine.
It will work the same

I use Jungle Flasher to do BenQ and Sammmy 1.5 updates. I just open benq/sammy 1.5 in firmware tool box and add in key, save and then go to FirmwareTool 32 tab, and then load firmware under target, then to MTKFlash 32 tab in JungleFlasher. I then chose my corresponding I/O Port under the drop down tab and on the right hand side clicked Device ID, prompted to power cycle, did that and now info about drive is populated. Can read, erase, and write from there. I had been using iPrep for BenQ/Sammy but I find that JungleFlasher is a little bit quicker to get the job done.

It's not really necessary to use iPrep to make a boot disk for DOS, all you have to do is right click on your floppy drive and go to format, and click MS-DOS startup. Then you can create a new folder on your disk in which you place your utilities (I used DVDkey to dump the liteon key, and dosflash to erase/write).
It is, I found, much simpler to use DOS as much as possible. If you find that your connectivity kit crashes Windows as it did for me, you can dump your files via DOS with DVDKey, then load the files into JungleFlasher, where you can create your hacked firmware. Then you can put the firmware onto your DOS bootdisk with DOSFlash and erase and flash your drive. If I had done that originally, it would have taken probably 15 minutes instead of 2 days.

is the only problem of using windows over dos is that it crashes sometimes, or is there more?

Thanks to both guesswho and leerage for the info. It is great to have people who don't mind helping out. I am hopefully updating my system tomorrow so if everything goes correctly I will let you know. I have a Hitachi drive 360 to flash when that update comes out so that will be fun to learn over again.

For me Windows crashed every time I turned on my ck3, instantly.
I also had problems installing the PortIO drivers, but using the latest ck3 tool software fixed that.

How do you get your drive key info if you do not have the original information so that you can use jungle flasher?

could you kind of rephrase that question? How to get the drive key? And which drive are you flashing?
Besides the liteon, I am pretty sure you can get the drive key any way you did previously. Worked for getting the key off of my sammy.

So the situation is this. I have a Benq drive with ixtreme 1.41 on the drive for the FW. I want to put ixtreme 1.5 on the drive now. I do not have the original FW bin file for the drive, so I can't restore the original FW back to the drive. leerage put in his response that he used firmware toolbox and added in key. I was wondering what key and where did he get it. All I know is that I am probably becoming a pain in the arse by now about something that is way more simple than what I am making it out to be. I tried using iprep 101 0080. I used it the same way I used previous version to do successful flashes by unplugging my disc drives and hdd from my motherboard and only having the Benq drive plugged into the motherboard, and then booted from usb. All it did was brought up C:/ which I wasn't 100% sure what to do from there. i then downloaded and installed iprep 101 0085 and tried that. It took me to the screen to use for Benq, Samsung, and Liteon. The directions said for Benq put rBen then the serial number, which I did and kept getting a message saying invalid program or something along those lines. I then tried to use iprep 101 0062 and put ixtreme 1.5 that way and when I went to boot to the usd it would come up with a failure to boot message. So then I was going to try using Jungle Flasher. I had my Benq hooked up and powered on. I open Jungle Flasher and this is where I am a bit confused. On the Firmware Tool 32 tab under source do I put in my Benq information that is on the drive currently? I was successful in getting that information from the MTKFlash 32 tab. I put in the correct I/O prt and it brought up the Benq drive. I then used the Benq-un-lock to unlock the drive and then used drive ID to get the flash chip properties box to fill in the information. After that I clicked on read and it gave me an OFW.bin file to save which I did. The question I have is this, do I use that file on the firmware tool 32 tab in the source and then put the ixtreme 1.5 for Benq into the target, or the other way around? This is where I am a bit unsure so I am not wanting to just fiddle around and brick my drive. Like I said before I am still a bit new to all of this so I am wanting to make sure I take my time and do things the correct way. I haven't messed up a drive yet out of the 10-12 I have done and I don't feel like starting to mess them up now. It was easy to flash with ixtreme 1.41 I think because the tutorials had pics and all to help, which we don't have yet for 1.5 so I am just acting like a noob even more so because of that. Thanks for any help you all can give and especially to guesswho for try to do what he can to help.

so I definitely only read about 3 sentences in, too long for me to want to keep reading.
I used iprep v006. It always worked best for me. Use that. And just use dben to get the key off, and then fben to flash the new hacked firmware on.
you don't have to flash back to original. I didn't with any of the drives I have done. You are perfectly able to extract the drive key from the hacked firmware you already have on it.

my lite-on box is now HAXX0R3DD ^o^
i extracted the key using jungle flasher and a homemade serial tool using a transistor, some resistors and wire (why the heck would anyone NOT do this???) then i built the CFW and erased
after that my windows would lock up if the drive was connected at all so i had to use iPrep... BUT!.....
iPrep refused to write to my flash drive, and then on the flash drive it DID write to, it wouldnt boot, even if i selected that drive from boot menu
so...
i burned me a simple DOS V6 CD
Burned the contents of the iPrep disk on another CD
Booted with the DOS CD
swapped CDs
used iPrep as usual to re-erase and flash my drive with the lite-cfw.bin
stuck it all back together and made sure it ran my originals
i dont have any backups to test yet, but if it runs originals still, then im sure it will do backups fine too
woot!!

I just successfully flashed my first lite-on but I ran into two problems in the process. First I couldn't get my main computer (Vista) to detect the COM port, so I took everything to my backup XP computer. That computer wasn't working either so on my main computer I installed the USB drivers (Don't know if I was supposed to use that from the start) and used the xtractor DVD key reader or w/e that program is to detect the COM port, and using that number I punched it into JungleFlasher and that worked.
There I was happy and all pumped after an hour of having trouble so I went to the next step and when I tried to load the hacked firmware it said "Can't open the file" (on the Vista Computer).
Now I took all my dumped files (from reading the key) and used that on the XP computer to finish hacking the drive.
Is there any reason I was getting "Can't load file" or did anyone else have that problem. I would like to only have to use one computer.

i can think of a really good reason....
Vista...
thats all
if it works on XP then theres nothing wrong with the prog
honestly, saying "I use Vista" is pretty much like saying "I use Windows ME"

Thanks guesswho for the suggesting iprep 006. I guess when I originally tried using that version I didn't reformat my usb flash drive so both iprep 006 and 0085 were on it at the same time. Once I used iprep 006 and had that program reformat the flash drive and after that the flash worked fine. Sorry for the long drawn out post earlier in the thread, but I just wanted to get that off my mind since it was harassing my sleep.

well your problem was already fixed, AND im not lecturing you, im sorry i didnt think you were actually looking for a fix since you already found it by using XP
you asked for a reason that youd get the error, i just told you what i think, dont be so surprised or distraught with my response, it is purely a matter of opinion after all
if you want a more technical reason
Microsoft patched alot of holes with Vista that used to exist in XP which certain programs use to run properly... along with, of course, introducing a couple unique probelms with the OS
if heard of people fixing certain issues by running programs as an administrator, maybe that will help, im not sure
of course you could be unfortunate, like myself and the program just hates your hardware

I just got mine working. My biggest problem was my onboard sata chipset with my motherboard. Got the constant locking, but once it all worked together, I was happy!
I learned that if the com port doesn't show up (used serial -> USB adapter), you can just type "COM3" into jungleflasher and it works fine!
PS - Vista worked fine for me.

woot! falshed my lite-on. Had a little trouble with the erasing par, used noob tut, which said that it info needed to look exactly the same but it just needed to be similair(eg flashed with 0x72 prob) but i figured things out after a restart and a total system crash(which was weird). Flashed on xp. using ck3lite and probe and jungle.

so, here's a unique situation if someone wants it.
For the first person that messages me, I'd be willing to flash their liteon for free.
The purpose being that when I did it, I would make a video tutorial on how to do it to try to help everyone.
So either someone who needs it done, or wouldn't mind it getting done by me so I can try to help make this tut which should help everyone.
If you don't mind, send me a message, and we'll make it happen.
thanks
