1. Connect theDVD to a SATA port on the PC X360USB does not work
2. Turn on the DVD (I did with CK3Pro ) this must already have the cut trace
3. Open JungleFlasher v0.1.85Beta (257)
4. MTK Tab Flash32
5. Press Enter / Device ID, you get a message stating that you disconnect the DVD for 1 second, press YES
6. Power Off the DVD
7. Place PROBE III (can be a homemade) at the point that even MPX01
8. Turn on the DVD (should recognize the way "vendor"), but if it doesnt gives you "vendor" power cycle again     the DVD. Do not forget to have  PROBE III  on MPX01.
9. You can take the Probe 3 out of the MPX01 point
10. Ready! follow the instructions of the Russian program
1) Cut the track and prepare for the resistor to ground (without connecting it to the point)this is the first thing u should do)
2.Put the DVD in intro mode using the device vendor id JF (works with the cut trace).
3) Open the program by the Russians and put the port number where you connected the DVD in the box.
4) Connect the resistor
5) Click on "unlock" by giving read status should change to 0x0
6) Go to JF and click "erase"
7) ready to write the firmware

***** please help ******

What am I doing wrong ??

When I run the russian program, I enter in the VIA port 1460 into the box and press unlock button. It keeps giving me what looks like an error message box in Russian. I know it's a fault, if I type any four digit number and press unlock then I get the Russian text box come up???

Please help, this is driving me mad as people are using this, so it does work.

I have read that it only sees VIA ports and this I'd what I have put into the box, the port in JF is 0x1460, so I have been putting in 1460.

Please help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)))

Only missing is relock the drive...

The drive is never truly 'unlocked' though? The SPi is just bypassed... Maybe I am missing something?
If I flash - then attempt to erase again without cut trace and resistor and unlock - I get fails.
This tells me the flash is indeed locked. The TX boards have to be MANUALLY locked as thats the point of them. Here we are simply putting cookies in the jar without removing the lid so to speak.

I made a post, #3 of the thread, describing the unlock tool and what you should see. There is also translators where you can figure out what the message is saying in english.

Thanks for your reply and with respect in post 3 your state to enter the port number, I have done this and it's not working, that's why I asked for help , I did post that people had it working so I knew it was working. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. In JF the port is 0x1460, so I have entered 1460 in the Russian program box and this doesn't work .

Also I cannot use the translate in google as the translate will not translate a picture of the box that comes up, I cannot type Russian, so again asking for help.

Sorry if i come across as a newb, but I have spent most if day trying to sort this and read loads of sites, but still no luck , so was asking for help on here )

I have an 0225 winbond but no luck - got the 8C blues.

This is using a 4.7ohm resistance, which interestingly enough only gets me down to 1.4V, not anywhere near 1V. I don't want to risk going any lower, and I can afford to wait until someone figures it out.

 can u write the steps ur are taking and what drive do you have.
are u putting the resistor on point when u hit unlock?

[brucet2]

0225 Drive Complete here. MXIC Chipset. Russian method described in post #3 is pretty good.

I dumped my 0225 MXIC drive and prepped my firmware in ADVANCE.


1. Cut trace, connect 12ohm resistor and switch between via CUT POINT and GND (scraped off board).
- I USED A SWITCH AND A 10ohm resistor.

2. Turn on DVD drive and open JF 0.1.85 MTK32 tab
3. hit "..." in MTK Flash 32 Tab, the once DRIVE info found, power off drive.
4. hit "Device ID/intro", select YES and while the "....'s" are going across, USE probe 3 to RAISED MPX01 point with tip of PROBE 3. power cycle drive (3 times for me, 2 seconds each time) until 0x72 status. REMOVE PROBE.

THEN FLIP SWITCH on the 10 resistor.
 
5. Run the Russian unlock program, enter port in blank window, hit "Unlock Drive". should come up with 2 russian words. the 2nd should start with a "p". if so your unlocked!

6. Clicked "Outro/ATA Reset", and then Intro and it found 0x72 flash "without MPX01 probe" - this could be important for successful write) I think there is something to this part.

AT THIS POINT I REMOVED THE RESISTOR
7. flipped switch to off

8. "Erase" button. Wait till finished. "Flash" button (Firmware was PRE PREPPED).

It should write, verify, erase a few sectors, authorised! and continue until it says successful!

All props to Poster #1 and Poster #3!!!

some people are having problems with firmware just re-flash using usb360pro after drive is flash with LT1.9 it behaves like a 9504 unlock and this method is not needed to re-flash drive.

So then this firmware and method is NOT safe yet.. I presumed that you bypassed the SPi and wrote the flash, then removed it the bypass it would re-instate the lock. Maybe I am incorrect here and the software lock is completely bypassed and needs to be re-added like the 8c

If the drive does not behave like a locked 0272, then MS can detect it.

On my 0225, the SPI seems to still be LOCKED. As the Slim Unlock button in jungle Flasher "fails" like a normal unflashed 0225 drive.

To copy a dialog box hit CTRL + C on it (popup with russian text)
open a notepad, or in this case a web translator
hit CTRL + V to paste the contents
This works with most of popups in windows with any or all OK/Cancel/Abort/Retry/Yes/No options

Thus you can figure out what the program is doing.
I see someone listed most of the popups and their english meaning now as well.

mine too, but I thought others had a 9504 dump/erase/write after flash and trace restore, which means the SPi is 'unlocked' or disabled still..

A good way to double verify the write after you remove resistor, it should act like it did before you even started. lol.

I also read JF has an erase bug with 9504 drives in JF 85 (will erase drive when attempting to get key! ahh!) and the 0272 LT19+ is failing the verifiacations (bad firmware and could result in a ban)
I suggest waiting until the fixed or proper 0272 firmware is out, and likely a complete JF solution will be possible and winbond working as well.

for the moment i have colect this  i hope this helps

[eastoakland]

I am having problems with the status.  My drive goes from 0x51 when the prob (probe3) isn't connected to 0xD1 when it's on the MPX01 point.  I power cycle and nothing changes.  I also added a piece of solder to the cleaned trace and tried to probe on that and I still get 0xD1  so I tried on the other side of the cut trace just to see if I get a different status, it's 0xD1 as well.

I am sure the trace is cut (I've done plenty of phat with the MRA hack).

Anyone ever have the 0xD1 status and figure out how to correct it?

I got this when trying to flash myself. It was my own fault, as the MPX01 point isn't the innie on the board, its the outie.

MPX01 is the point encircled with white.

That solved my issues. Hope it helps with yours too.

Thanks for the fast response so it isn't the red box in this pic?



If not where is it exactly?  I tried the back side of the board labeled MPX01 and still got the usual results
