suppose i get the key from lite-on
can i then spoof it to any other computer drive of any brand as long as it has sata support
and also can i flash the same lite-on successfully  using latest jungleflasher

[dobosininja]

I accidently used the 12v to power the key extractor and now my drive is not spinning up Did I fry my lite-on board? I was unable to extract the key even when using the correct 5v...could I of fried the transistor or the 1k resistor? I was using the ms2222a transistor from radio shak that apparently is documented wrong on the package maybe that is why i can't get the key to extract.

you fried something on the board if it will not spin up.

Is there voltage on the spear when trying to read the tx point? If so maybe I can just follow that to figure out what might of been fried.

i was wondering can i use this hardware with jungleflasher to get the keys and flash the drive
if yes what is the steps?

if no what software to use to flash the drive with ix1.5.1 after getting the key using this method?

[dobosininja]

I use JF to read the key and erase the drive, but I use dosflash to write the firmware.

Breadboard and spare parts FTW. The only thing I had to get was a crocodile clip to ground my xbox to pc chassis

5v pink wire is from a molex to 3pin fan adapter. The pin slides straight out of the plastic.

DosFlash kept telling me that I had an invalid key. DVDKey worked fine though. What I did was run DVDKey while holding the needle in the TX point, keeping it there until DVDKey is done, and then running DosFlash WITHOUT removing the needle or rebooting the drive.

Thanks heaps for the design Super cheap and easy!

EDIT: in case anyone is wondering, the coloured wires with the black bits are just jumper cables. They are awesome for using with breadboard.

Red = COM Pin 2 / RX
Black = COM Pin 5 / Ground
Yellow = TX X360
Orange = Jumper wire to 5v (pink wire wasn't long enough)

i have arduino usb board in hand. is it possible to read the keys using it?

Very possible and the easiest way I've seen without buying a kit. The way I see it if you buy an arduino atleast it's good for other things other than just getting a key.

Just download CDM 2.04.16.exe and pop out the atmega chip making it a gateway.
I ran a paperclip from the tx hole and hooked one side of a multimeter wire to it for my probe. Had my key in seconds.

Awesome tutorial there!!

I just need some confirmations (I know most of the answers, but just to confirm) ...because this is my first flash...

1) If I make this, I wont need CK3. right?

2) I want to flash my liteon, will I need the VIA SATA chipset? or  any other SATA board will do?

3) If i power the dvd drive with the xbox, will it work?

4) If so, should I disconnect the eject wire from the power cable (dvd drive) and connect it to ground. Or can I use the eject button on the xbox?

5) I could not understand the route from pin 5 to E (on the transistor) from what I saw in post #931.

dvd ground, crocodile clip etc etc    

Or can I just connect pin 5 to E?

Sorry for my bad english...

Sorry if this has been repeated...I can't go through 63 pages.

Thanks in advance

[img]Hi guys,

[suhas93]

It didn't work, can you people help me discover the flaw?

First of all @metalphreak Thanks a lot

Heres my setup



These 'could' be the flaws..
* I'm using molex wires.
* 1k resistor hav bands...Brown Black Red Gold
* 10k resistors hav bands Brown Black Orange Gold
Correct me if I'm wrong

1) I can't find out which COM port I Have plugged this in. I have COM1 and COM2. Please help me out.
2) And while extracting the key, should we place the wires on the hole or should the wires pass through the hole?

Hi there!
I want to try this mod.
Can I use a 2N3904 transistor?
I've heard that is possible to flash lite-on drives since feb of this year. Is it correct?
Thanks

Any transistor would do..

Yes it is possible to flash liteon drives

[suhas93]

And any ideas for the LED?

[suhas93]

I made it again, I was able to extract the key..

Now, to flash it..whenever i connect the 360 dvd drive to the computer, it hangs!!

please help!!!
