Please confirm:

Am I understanding correctly that lite-on's can now be flashed without the use of a hardware probe?

Thanks,

Az

If you read the other pages, you'd have answered it yourself.

Does anybody know the correct cmd line parameters for BenQ drives?

CODE

dosflash e 9000 1 a0 1 1 4 d8 0

results in invalid flash status.

CODE

dosflash w 9000 1 a0 1 1 4 benq_cfw.bin 0

results in it showing writing 4 banks of data to the drive, and gives a successful message. But it actually does not write anything to the drive.

Whats confusing me is that

CODE

dosflash r 9000 1 a0 1 1 4 orig.bin 0

actually dumps the firmware.

I'm not a big user of Dosflash as you know,

BUT I believe you have parameter 6 wrong.... In the Usage this is called [Flash Type]. It is used to select special handling for SST Spi's on Benq. These are very rare and have only appeared on HK replacment drives.
I believe the cmd lines

CODE

dosflash e 9000 1 a0 1 0 4 d8 0

and

CODE

dosflash w 9000 1 a0 1 0 4 benq_cfw.bin 0

should work for you
this parameter would have no relevance on a read.

Hope this helps, but I have not tested it.....

IMO manual mode (without command line parameters) is much safer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have done like 3 benqs this month. All of them using jungleflasher 0.64 beta. I guess you can look at the binary and see what command parameters it is using for benq's. You would need to decompile JF or get the sources from Team jungle. BUt yeah ...it's been a while since I did manual command line flashing for the benq's. Last time I did it was back in December 08. And, I flashed ix 1.4 with Dosflash 1.7. Yes, as Podger was saying, there was added an extra parameter for the different flash types of the different vendors. I noticed that while trying to flash a customer's benq. He was outside my place for like an hour. Schtrom switched something from dosflash v1.5 or v1.6 to v1.7.  I don't know when that change occured. Needless, to say it threw me off and made me scratch my head.

I know v1.7 was different from the last time I flashed a drive using previous versions of dosflash. I don't know when it changed though. Either from v1.5-v1.6 it changed or from v1.6--->v1.7. There was only 2 parameters after the "a0" paramenter prior. But, in newer versions of dosflash there was three parameters after the 'a0' parameter. Try changing it as Podger says.
