Hi, I tried that method, but when I type in "mtkflash w orig.bin" or "mtkflash w /sata /m original.bin" and press 1, it says "Failure to open Output file"? I have the orig.bin, mtkflash.ex, and mtkflash.typ on the floppy disk! Please help!..... much appreciated....

Ahh yes... this satisfies my daily dosage of Noob. That is just too funny.

You should be able to use 2 drives, boot the good one, get it ready to flash, then connect the bad one and flash... But this is a good solution if you can't get your hands on a 2nd drive.

Uh, then turn it back on. Or use another power source (homebrew or xecuter, whatever)...

Sorry, cannot help with the Hitachi drive.
From what I understand there is no software released as yet to completely overwrite the firmware in the hitachi drive in 1 shot. If you could, everyone would be running the latest version and not have 4 or 5 diffrent patches depending on what revision you have.

I don't have a Hitachi drive to look at, but I'll see if I can source one out to kill and try to help folks out.

Oh, if you've bricked it due to shorting the wrong wires out, I'll look at that too.

Ive Kept Trying And Still have had no Luck
Would Trying on a Different PC Help?? (my PC Dosnt have Any Trouble Detecting The Drive)
And Also Would This Same Technique work with Toshiba-Samsung_360_Auto_Flasher_v1.1 ??

I have heard that some motherboards just don't work with MTKFLASH, but I reckon that if you can get it to read (make a backup) you should be able to get it to write.

If you have access to another PC, its not going to hurt to try. Is it?

Personally I've not used the Autoflasher and the whole point in my Tutorial was to Manually retry the flash over and over just after the powercycle.
I'd be carefull as I've heard the Autoflasher May overwrite your Orig.bin every time you try it.

Flashed my drive after days of trying to connect only to find after the flash using Samsung autoflasher
all i get is the 65 error message.

Now when i flash my backup orig.bin file to it it writes the complete thing says its done then i just get the error 65 again.

I have used hexworkshop to find my key and would find it helpfull if some one could give me an idea of
what the key should look like.

offset 4000 block 200 in hex

0111111111FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF02EEEEEEEEBBBBBBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FFFF0311111111FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF04EEEEEEEEBBBBBBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Is this it ...
