Half a dozen or so drives were sacrificed over the decapping process.

This type of chip reverse engineering isn't all that rare or all that expensive really.

They've been doing it for MAME for awhile.

gotta love when sequential lines have conflicting info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

at the end of the day, it will be ready when its ready. if it comes out tomorrow, great. if it doesn't, you know it will come out some time soon. no need to worry. would you guys prefer c4e releases an untested firmware that results in bricked dvd drives and bans from live?

[lugi]

Thats not even the right pastebin from fw..

No info that the fw will come out today/tommorow.

I think that's what Reaper527 is trying to say.. the true line is the one saying that there is no release date for 1.5.

We just have to wait it's as simple as that.

[ej2095]

The truth is out there..........

UPDATE * AND FACT *

[00:14] <c4eva> 1.5 - open tray power on support for windows inquiry/fw unlock mode
[00:14] <c4eva> 1.5 - enhanced "bad angle" support
[00:15] <c4eva> 1.5 - single speed only (12x)
[00:15] <c4eva> 1.5 - enhanced SS support for spoofing
[00:16] <c4eva> 1.5 - more secure firmguard - benq only
[00:18] <c4eva> 1.5 - Benq 6039 (1319L) version!
[00:20] <c4eva> 1.5 for liteon will come soon, work on fw continues by the team!
[00:22] <c4eva> liteon fw is complicated, but im optimistic the team will solve it soon!

2008-11-30 (in #fw):
[03:42] <c4eva> flashing liteon is easy, all software,all this has already been done!
[03:43] <c4eva> the team is working on the fw, patience!
[03:47] <c4eva> The team has several liteon dumps and flash back to any liteon perfectly! Patience!

2008-12-04
<+c4eva> LITEON BOOTING BACKUPS! Great work by the team!

2008-12-05
(15:36:51) (+c4eva) onge:no, too busy for that, liteon beta testing this weekend!
(15:39:00) (+c4eva) key will still be via serial for now!

[04:30] <Rinoa> c4eva: u ony going to rlz single speed 12x from now on to Samsung/Hitachi/BenQ/Lite-On drives?
[04:30] <Rinoa> sounds like MS could tell the speed
[04:30] <c4eva> Rinoa:Yes

[04:32] <c4eva> at present the serial is still needed to get the key, everything else is software/sata

[04:35] <prankster> c4eva, do you ever see a non-solder solution for key extraction, or is key always sent over tx?

[04:36] <RoCk-BoX> hey man , i just had a question, is running ixtreme 1.4 as safe as its gunna get on live?
[04:36] <c4eva> 1.5 is better

[04:40] <dffdfd> is the lite-on beta testing this weekend for select members or the general public?
A: it's for a closed group of beta testers initially

[04:44] <c4eva> all flashing for liteon can be done in windows

[04:51] <c4eva> nxe is fine

[05:09] <Suuuuuup2> c4eva, how was the firmware originally dumped?
[05:09] <c4eva> it was decapped in acid!

[05:10] <Suuuuuup2> C4eva, kinda pointless asking, but will the new GUI replace Toolbox ?
[05:11] <c4eva> suuuuup2:yes

[05:12] <c4eva> patching liteon with 1.5 as i speak here

[05:12] <Savior-X> so its been stated ck3 is still needed. anywhere besides divineo ?
[05:13] <Arakon> Savior-X: no, it's not needed. you can just make your own serial adapter for a few bucks, or get the maximus tool
[05:13] <c4eva> xtractor works well
[05:14] <Arakon> xboxhacker.net has several diagrams in the large thread, or get a premade one from ebay (serial ttl converter)
Xbox-Scene forum thread -- "Liteon Key For Free, how to dump your liteon using salvaged parts" -- http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=668247

[05:15] <Suuuuuup2> c4eva, is the lite-on firmware similar to Benq?
[05:16] <c4eva> no

[05:39] <p0tty> n e one try the spear yet for the liteon?
[05:39] <c4eva> p0tty:yes works well

[05:47] <c4eva> flashing liteon is easy. send wipe command then flash fw

[05:48] <Zheez> do you need to power the liteon drives on and off like you used to have to with samsung/benqs?
[05:48] <c4eva> zheez:no
[05:49] <troubloso> so c4eva 1.5 will have new way to flash?
[05:49] <c4eva> troub:yes

[05:26] <liqwidsky> c4eva, what does the improved bad angle support in 1.5 do?
[05:30] <c4eva> it will ensure no more bad angle before jitter
[05:34] <liqwidsky> [...] is 1.5 doing something extra, like decrypting the host ccrt and checking deviation?
[05:38] <c4eva> yes within deviation will not allow bad angles

2008-12-07
[02:39] <c4eva> ALL SPOOFED LITEONS ARE EASILY DETECTABLE BY MS! EVEN BENQ! WILL NEED IX1.5!
[02:42] <c4eva> 1.5 will cater for hidden liteon MS command!
[02:47] <mjstriker> I have spoofed over 50 drives and I haven't heard of anyone being detected
[02:48] <c4eva> detected, not banned, that may come later

2008-12-08
[01:54] <c4eva> liteon reads backups nice n fast, no benqish problems!
[01:57] <c4eva> very much like sammy
[01:58] <c4eva> quiet as well
[02:02] <c4eva> spoof with a liteon, will be supported
[02:05] <c4eva> tested on assasins creed, no issues!

***********************************************************************************************************************
ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE FOR IXTREME v1.5 FOR LITE-ON/BENQ/SAMSUNG/HITACHI IS BEFORE CHRISTMAS | BETA TESTING BEGINS SOON
