I have had a long and crazy time trying to flash some Lite-On drives.
Somehow I managed to finally get my 1st flash done, but it seemed random, because not all tutorials I was
following was really working (believe me, I followed them accurately). Especially since JungleFlasher never
worked for me (yes i had the portIO drivers installed) ! Etc, etc...
Anyways to make a long story short I've flashed 3 Lite-Ons' now and this is how it has worked for me:
With the Xtractor and Spear get your keys using Maximus Xtractor Reader.
I had it connected with USB since my PC has no RS232 COM port.
(If for some reason the Spear isn't picking up the Keys through the hole you can put it between the
R707 right above it, that happened to me once).
Remember to remove the VIAMRAID.sys from c:\windows\system32\drivers If you have it installed, then reboot.
This way your computer wont "freeze" or "chug" extremely slow.
After you have your Keys and made your hacked/CFW, I made my Hacked.bin firmware using JungleFlasher,
the only thing it worked for me on that application.
I started with this tutorial: http://www.360mods.net/index.php?name=Fo...ewtopic&t=12478 I only used it for the erasing part since the writing part didnt work for me.
Make a DOS bootable USB stick using iPrep
I used iPrep v 8.6
Download the file ixtreme15.RAR from team-xecuter.com
or wherever, I got mines from JungleFlasher.
Open up the file and extract the folder DOS
Put the contents of the DOS folder into the root of your bootable USB stick
I then took all the files from DosFlash16 and threw them in there replacing some files.
Copy your created hacked.bin file into the root of your bootable USB stick
Now turn Off your drive
Boot your PC up your newly made DOS bootable USB stick
Wait for the C: or A: to appear
At the prompt type in L-O-eras.exe ( address of your sATA card )
For example L-O-eras.exe 9000
In this case mine was EF00.
Before you press Enter turn On the drive.
Press Enter, it should say FF80 or FFFF
Type in L-O-eras.exe ( sATA card address ) again and press Enter
Should now show FF72
Turn Off the connectivity kit and back On
( this is important or else it?ll say unknown chip type when trying to flash )
Now at the command prompt type dosflash and press Enter
Press N (if it asks) until it asks what number drive you are using
It will then give you options of Write or Erase etc....
If it says unknown chip type you didn?t power the drive Off/On
If you see the drives information , like Winbond or Macronix then all is good.
Turn off the connectivity kit and reboot windows
Open up DosFlash32 and turn on the Xtractor.
Keep saying "No" even when it shows your drives location.
Then from the drop down drive locations pick your drive, mine was EF00.
It should display information on your erased drive now, Winbond or Macronix.
If not then power cycle the drive on/off. Re-open DosFlash32
If so then select "Write" and you should be able to browse for your hacked/CFW.bin
And your all set !
