Hello afterdawn forums I have been trying to flash my Samsung MS28 for the last few days I Read and followed all the guides and even researched for hours myself.
How I started : I have my VIA CARD(http://www.modchip.ca/store/product.php?productid=16491&cat=284&page=1)
Firmware: 1.4 Xtreme 12x
My Bios wont allow me to Boot USB so I tryed the NTFS for DOS CD It detected my drive everything was going well I typed c:
cd iprep_~1(thats wut my iprep was)
dsam my drive (Idump 1234567 12345 didnt work)
Power Off Selected Option 2(Xtreme Pri) Counted 10 seconds
It read the firmware it counted to 100% 4 Times or so then said REBOOT! So I did.
Did the same thing typed fsam my drive power off select option 2(Xtreme Pri) count 10 seconds
It said Updating 0% ERR: fail to read input file.
The Problem: Now when I go back into that I type fsam my drive wait 3-15 seconds (TRIED ALL COMBINATIONS) It Hangs at something saying Port: b800 master/slave: ao
So I made a Iprep Floppy same thing Hangs at the same comand for both dSam and fSam but I put My original Firmware on the floppy from the C: from iprep folder from using NTFS and put it on the floppy in the backup folder and now it says dsam is not necessary.
Summary: My drive is detecting using my VIA SATA Card but just not flashing.
Who ever helps me fix this problem I will personnely pay you 10$ Via payal ThanX and PLZ HELP
what do you mean you cant go into the bios? Im pretty sure mostly all computers can. Look for a hot-key at the startup. for me it was the delete key. Here I know you have already tried tuts. and all, but since I had a hitachi, and i have no clue how to flash a samsung ill just give you this, disregard it if you have already used it.
with my setup I don't even have to go into bios. I just unhook all drives and it boots to my usb drive.
As a matter of fact I have to do that with my comp. Even going in to bios and setting it to boot to usb with my other drives connected...it won't. My comp has issues, I know.
Another note: I have nforce4 chipset and use dosflash16 to flash the ms25/ms28 drives. Maybe that would work for you as well. I don't know.
Edit: it sounds to me like it didn't create the hacked firmware, so there was nothing there to flash back.
As I said, I use dosflash16 to flash these drives because I have nforce4 chipset. So, my methods may differ from the chipset you have.

I haven't flashed my box it over a year, and wow the guide certainly have changed. When i fist flashed it, it was old school command, and copy paste key, no fancy iprep or what not.
i just wanna know where my ten dollars is.... obviously he fixed it and ran. fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. dont worry i wont be folled twice, neither will the rest of the guys in this forum. I dont really want ten dollars, i dont even have a pay pal account. but i have to admit thats the most orig. post i have seen in awhile. just let us know if it works or not thats reward enough for us.
