Aight, great..
But atm, Im only getting status 0x51 and 0x52 when I turn it on with the switch on..
I even try with the dvd-drive tray ejected half way out..
Nothing works..
no 0x72 =/ MTK vendor intro fails..
But it reckognizes the drive as a 93450c firmware revision and Liteon.. but the MTK Vendor Intro fails..
Now, the only possible two reasons Im left with is either:
1) the resistor Im using is wrong (ive measured it at 20k and it shows as 2.21, which Im pretty sure is 20 ohms)
2) the PIN101 is not properly cut away from the line above.. (AND HERES THE THING.. Ive cut it, and Im 99% certain its cut, probably cut it 15 times, and it looks 100% cut, but still my multimeter shows it as still connected to the line above)..
HALP?!
Aight, I managed to successfully read a full dump of the 93450c firmware as well as spoofing the template iXtreme 1.6 93450c file, and erasing + flashing the drive.. Everything works 100%!!
The mistakes I did was as following : Didnt cut the 2. trace as shown in the diagram, somehow missed that, yes, the first cuts I did above PIN101 was 100% correct, it was the 2.trace all along

and didnt have the correct ohm resistor.. Found a 20 ohms, which worked wonders!
And since I met so many walls during these 4-5 hours, which I found solutions to, I thought Id make a video guide on all of it.. With thanks to everyone who helped me..
Cypher21, Prankster, John_ and Co! And ofcourse carranzafp/Maximus for the template firmware, the guide and the testing he's been doing.. Also Jungleflasher Team and all of the associated programmers in these en-devours!
I actually managed to rip off the VIA PIN 101 point, but also managed to fix it, which Ive also made a short video about!
Im gonna edit the videos, and upload them before I go to bed, and Ill add them in this thread for you other guys who meet walls when it comes to this flashing!
BE VIGILANT!
