Hello,
My ultimate apologies if this is a ridiculous questions, but have been searching all night with no answer. Using JF, about 5 months ago I replaced my Lite-On 83850c and spoofed it to a Samsung TS-H943 MS25. Everything went well..and wound up with a nicer, quieter drive. I do not play backed-up games.
The two questions I have now are:
1) To update to a newer FW in JF, do I follow the Samsung procedures (with modified FW already installed), or do I follow the LiteOn procedures (with modified FW already installed). I feel this is pretty fundamental, but I honestly don't know.
2) For purposes of giving my box to someone who may wish to go on to XBL, I am considering going back to the original drive. I still have it, though I can't seem to find the dumped dummy.bin anywhere on my computer, and for the life of me can't remember if I went all the way through with ERASING the drive. When I hook it up to my computer now, I currently can not get it to be recognized by JF. Sooo....am I SOL if I want to go back to the original drive, or can something be recovered from the Samsung? (My gut says I'm SOL if I erased the drive)
Thanks all! Will check on any helpful hints tomorrow, and give it another go at getting JF to see the Lite-On.
You wont want to be using a Samsung drive to replace your Liteon drive.
Samsung does not support AP 2.5. So no new AP 2.5 games will work whether they are retail or backups. Also when the new dashboard comes out the update will fail since your console does not contain the proper drive for your console.
You should replace the Liteon with another Liteon.
