So you power cycle right after the FF72, then run dosflash, and still a no go? Ugg, that's unfortunate.

If it matters, I always flash with the drive fully closed.

Hmmm, I feel like I've tried just about every trick mentioned here. I've done everything from hotplugging, powercycling and quick powercycling, to 10-20 l-o-erases and reboots.

The only thing i haven't tried so far, is the 7 sata sata ports on my motherboard, that i didn't test last time. I'll try that later today.

I have an old ms25 drive lying around. I really don't want to do it, but I'm not far from putting that in there instead.

I don't think I power cycled after doing L-O-eras.  I had to do it a few times before I was able to use jungle flasher in windows without it freezing on me.  Then went right to dosflash and had no problems writing.

Ok this is for anyone if you havn't already figured a way out and let me know if it helped.

Open Iprep – Setup any Samsung flash – Patch MTK Flash – format to dos bootable- then hit prepare destination
Open the iprep USB files and delete all Samsung files (Backup, CFW, Tools, fSam, rSam, dSam)
Copy your Lite_CFW.bin & Everything in the Dos folder in the Ixtream15 folder

Start Computer Over and Boot into Bios Dos and have the sata port unpluged and xbox powered off
Type Y, then plug in Sata port back into Xbox and Turn Xbox on with CK3
Type L-O-Eras.exe (Port Number – DE00 is my number)- ex. L-O-Eras.exe DE00 then enter (repeat it until you get FF72)
Turn off Xbox
Type Dosflash (Just look for your Sata Atapi)
Type Y, then turn drive back on, then type the number where your drive is at (Sata card)
Then hit E for (erase)

Once Back to C:/>
Turn drive back off
Type dosflash
Type Y
Turn drive back on
Then the number where you Sata card was at earlier (My Sata Connection or Drive Number <DE00>)
Then W (write)
Now Type lite_cfw.bin  and hit enter
and flashing shoud begin

Turn Power Off and unplug all cords


GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I semied my lite-on, if you power on and off just as you hit enter you should get FF72. After that I dosflashed as usual. and my drive worked again.

Hey

So, basically i semi-bricked my liteon-drive with jungleflasher. Then I took most peoples advice of using DOS. When i used the "l-o-eras.exe E800" command (my sata port being E800), the status changed from FF80 to FF72 (same as 0x72???)

I figured this meant that the firmware was now completely erased. Then i powered down the CK3, and rebooted to DOS. Turned it back on, and used the "dosflash.exe" cmd.

But I can't write to the drive.

It says something like:
Flash ManufacturerID: 0x00, DeviceID 0x00
Flash type: MTK vendorer failed!!! (or something like that).

What am i doing wrong/could i be doing different?

Thank you!

Thanks all for the good info! I thought my liteon was gone. Your ideas worked. It was all in the timing. I had to power off at the same time I hit erase. Before that, I would keep getting unknown flash chip. Thanks!
