Jungleflasher still not really liking my Via card I think....
Just updated my Hitachi59, but had a number of small glitches.
First, sending mode B worked, but once the drive was powered on, I got a stuck egg timer and a message like "checking for hardward updates". I had to end task on Jungleflasher, and now when I start Jungleflasher, the modeB button is greyed out on my selected sata port...it lights up if I change port, but goes back to grey when back on the correct port. This is despite the drive being reset (so its not already in mode

. I had to resolve this by using the 3rd party modeb utility which worked fine.
Next problem I had was after flashing all the banks, it failed verifty on sector 10. I then ran restore, which worked, power cycled the drive and re-modeb'd it. Got the same failure, but this time, it also failed on restore.
I then had to go back to the Ixtreme 1.41 package and run the restore from there, which worked, then I tried for a 3rd time in Jungleflasher to write to my drive, and this time succesful.
Im always a little nervous with Hitachi's, and this didnt do much for my stress levels !
I also tried a samsung and a lite-one using dosflash and firmtool on 1.51, and they worked fine. I'll do my other benq shortly, but I dont envisage any problems.
