apologies in advance I didnt really read much about lite on yet. no noob here though I flashed all drives there is to flash except lite on. just making sure this is what I need. already have the via card.

Ok I am trying to use this tool to flash a liteon drive I have a few questions do I have to have it hooked up to the 360 power supply like when I flash the other types of drives or do I just use the 5 volt power supply like in the diagram? and if i just have to use the power supply do I have to turn it on and off  like using the 10 second trick?
Thanks

For Lite-On, if I have the VIA card, I need to buy this probe, AND the xecuter connectivity kit? (which i am having a heck of a time finding).  I wish my falcons (BenQ) hadn't crapped out this month.

Hey, sorry for my lack of posts in this thread, i've been out of town for a bit on vacation.

Really, the most advice I can offer to newbies on using my disc is: RTFM. (read the F'n manual)

As long as you read the prompts exactly and DO NOT SKIP STEPS, you should be fine.

NOTE: I have noticed one flaw that might have a few of you stuck with my disc... my disc seems to have a 50/50 success rate with NATIVE SATA HDDs. Meaning, if your SATA HDD is set to 'AHCI' or 'NATIVE' in your BIOS, you will most likely run into issues with NTFS4DOS not detecting your HDD. (which can result in all sorts of nasty issues with BenQ/Samsung drives specifically, Lite-On drives are unaffected for the most part since they use a RAMDISK for modding on this disc)

The easiest fix for this is to either set your SATA HDD in your BIOS to 'IDE Compatibility' mode, OR USE A REAL IDE HDD. (old style long-connector HDDs, if you are unaware of what an IDE HDD is, you should think twice about modding)

Hope this helps, be sure to RTFM, and you should be fine.

P.S. I'm glad to hear that many of you have been successful with my disc! Cheers.

keep it first for future use.

Hi, I'm a noob here.  I've read through the post and I may have missed it somewhere, but can you do firmware Spoofing with this? Or do I have to use Jungleflasher to spoof before using this?

Thanks in advance..

[abcxyz]

Also, Don't you need L-O-ERAS.EXE?  I looked through the .ISO file, but I didn't see this.  How do you erase the firmware?

The newest version of DosFlash (which is used on this disc) supports erasing Lite-On drives.

L-O-ERAS.EXE is not necessary if you are using the newest version of DosFlash.

What about firmware spoofing.  Will this disc spoof the firmware files as well?

thanks..

[FrostyTheSnowman]

The spoofing function of the disc only applies to previously modded & spoofed drives being upgraded by this disc.

This disc does not support un-modded drive swapping/spoofing. (modding and spoofing a drive for a different machine)

Ok,I got my BENQ done last night after a good 15 tries..do this EXACTLY & it'll go NP
Follow all the prompts...Put in your SATA Port,hit enter...DISREGARD THE LITEON STUFF & COM PORT CRAP,you do NOT NEED IT. Just hit enter til dosflash pops up. When dosflash pops up, & prompts you to you type in "yes"

Follow the instructions....When it brings you the actual reading/dumping/flashing part do this.....Make sure you have the video cable plugged in,not an HDMI,but the component/composite cables that came with the xbox,plug in your power cable,make sure you dont have a disc in the drive(should be first thing you do).....power on the 360. Now it should say to hit enter,then Y,then Enter again,DC power,then reconnect it,etc,etc....

This is the part that had me stuck for about an hour,it would just hang on Reading Bank 0....so I took someone elses advice from this thread who also had a benq....dont just DC the power then immediately plug it back in....DC the power(shut off xbox),wait about 5-10 seconds,THEN power back on.....it should now take off & start doing its reading/dumping/flashing thing

To everyone having BenQ/Samsung drive reading/writing issues stopping at 01%, follow the above advice.

NOTE: THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE USING AN ACTUAL 360 FOR POWERING THE DRIVE, IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE OR A CK3, JUST FOLLOW THE PROMPTS ON THE DISC.

To simplify it though, do this:

1. Connect power supply and a STANDARD/COMPONENT video cable (not HDMI) to your 360
2. DO NOT POWER ON YOUR 360 YET, but do connect your SATA cable to your drive
3. Boot my disc on your PC
4. Follow all prompts exactly, ALSO MAKING SURE YOU TYPE 'yes' AT THE NTFS4DOS PROMPT (as said before though, you can ignore the comport stuff if you are using BenQ/Samsung)
5. Once you get to the reading portion of the disc, turn on your 360 and follow the instructions
6. Now, instead of simply pulling the power connector on the drive, just turn off your 360, count to 5 (or 10 in some cases) and turn your 360 back on, your drive should start dumping/flashing

Thanks to FEAR420 for this information.

[wilcofalco]

anybody done this with a samsung ms28 i either get it to read 01% or it doesnt come up with reading
tryed fear420 still no luck using xbox power supply removing drive power nothing turning 360 on and off still nothing will not pass 01% should i get a connectivty kit or try my other 360 to power this drive other one also samsung but on ixtreme 1.4

Hey Frosty,

I just want to thank you for making Disc.  I got my DYI 360 Connectivity Kit today and it took me less then 10mins to mod my LiteOn.  This was my 1st time moding an XBOX 360 ever.  I read through all the forums with the different types of ways to extract/flash, but they were all too confusing and each one had their own issues, so I ended up using your disc and I am quite happy.  Anyway, much appreciated it.

Oh, one quick question, I'm still a noob so please bare with me.  The IEXTREME.BIN file that was generated is MY patched firmware specifically for my drive correct?
