So your pc froze? You were erasing your liteon and then when you did the power cycle, your PC froze? Well you are in luck. As long as your key, inquiry, and identify.bin files were correct, then you can save your drive. What will happen at this point is your drive will no longer eject, so you think oh no bricked drive. This can be fixed. Make sure you can boot to DOS by floppy or USB drive and have the proper files on it.
You will need L-O-Eras.exe, latest dosflash16, and your hacked firmware file. Well what you do, restart your PC with your liteon connected, but not powered on, boot to DOS. Once you get to DOS restore power to your liteon drive. Go to where your files are.
Type L-O-Eras SATAPORT <-- put in your sata port that your drive is connected too. If you don't know your sata port, you can do dosflash really fast and figure out which port has the liteon drive on it. So after you do L-O-Eras SATAPORT you should return status FF72 I believe. I haven't had to do this way for awhile so if I made a mistake on the status please PM me so I can fix this. After you do this, go type DOSFLASH, then enter the proper # for the port that has the liteon drive on it. Then type W for write. Then enter your hacked firmware file, usually lite_cfw.bin then it will erase and write the firmware to your drive. After it is done, turn the power off on your drive, then turn it back on and press eject and if it does, problem solved!
Alright thats my problem but could someone put this is retard format for me please, I got a nforce 3 mobo with WIN XP.

I kept doing something wrong at that point and i would get satus 0x51 failed shit thing but somehow it worked for me.
After clicking lteon erase and the dots start appearing in the box, remove the power cable and wait for a second before putting it back in. If it deosnt work try waiting 2 seconds. Kepp trying and you'll get 0x72
and good flash properties. Or just go DOS flash it.

Good luck!

and if I was going to dosflash it, I would need A LOT of help and a really good guide with all the files needed to get the job done. Very much appreciated

)I got something like this when flashing Liteon 74...
Solution?
- Trying
Just that. I tried different approaches. And finally all went OK.
what did I tried:
- powering Liteon in different time, in different ways (xbox power switch or pulling the plug from the mainboard and/or trying it in "half-open" state (pulling the cable out of the mainboard, manually pulling the disc tray(tackle? -not sure which word) to half-open and then plugging the liteon power back to the mainboard (with a quick move).
- l-o-erase.exe
- running dosflash and trying to eiher (actually- both) flash or erase (there are two options).
etc.
different time of powering the PC and Liteon + any combination of the above.
Finally it worked.
I've also seen a situation, when Liteon had no firmware data (type, version etc.) - just blank, nothing, and it worked after a few tries.
There are also 2 ways of flashing.
1. using l-o-eras
2. just using "erase" from the dosflash selection menu
3. just flashing without even erasing before (dosflash erases before writing anyway)
toss in some reboots (a few times liteon, a few times PC) and I think I served you EVERY posibility. Just try, if you're not afraid of the DOS.

I got the vender properties to show up and clicked WRITE and it shows 1 dot a freezes? any suggestions?
Post by: Kurt Hectic on September 12, 2009, 03:07:00 PM
I'm using VIA 6421A PCI card for flashing. It costs 10$/7euro, it's takes no genius to figure out what method is better: Loosing 10 bucks or riskinng wasting a lot of time.
so I bought as many here suggested. And there is no way it won't work. There are some bugs with windows drivers/ioport in jungleflasher, but none under the DOS.
Try on such card and if you don't want to - search for a friend with a VIA equipped chipset that works for this (google for necessary information or search here, on X-S )
If I remeber well, Asus based on KT600 was OK, but you would have to search for 100% reliable info.

Okay STRANGE... I got some questions.
How do you know if a drive is flashed? because this is what happened.
I got the vender setting I clicked WRITE, its froze with 1 dot and the hard drive was making funky noises "so was it flashing?" After that I just let it run for a while 10 mins or so closed the froze jungleflasher and now my pc isn't freezing anymore. I reopened jf and click vender/info and all the chip setting came up. So I dunno what to do now... :| with JF

Post by: run187 on September 14, 2009, 11:49:00 AM
you may also need to install a os to a ide hard drive if using sata hard drive as boot as that sometimes casues frezing with nforce 3 i would buy new board and chip and some ram and probaly a new psu and dump that crap probaly stick half way decnt one togher for like 200 gbp or whatever that is your curreny ram psu board chip and case something like a asus p5kpl your board is from like 05 so its getting on a bit but if you want to stick with pc that probal takes about 7 minutes to boot then that is upto yourself..

tired my other nforce 3 board and I managed to get it to write with jungleflasher. It froze just like my other board but worked the 3rd time and flashed fully. So jungle flasher with nforce 3 boards are SUPER BUGGY with the lite on drives. I wonder if its a programming issue? Hope it gets fixed, if its a known problem.

2nd my system is running of a ide hard drive I dont even use my sata unless its for the 360 flash, which I've used for my old benq drive.-i know this how can i see into your house i think not
I got 2 nforce 3 systems actually, MSI k8n Neo platinum and Asus K8N-E Deluxe "-which i haven't tried this board yet but will there even be a diffrence?-"yes there would be i would take asus board over neo any day (except the new high end ones) jf dosent like some nforce 4 chipsets and i would guess some other chipsets there is no way they could test it on every chipset specily when they no doubt use 6421 card
you can throw as many deluxe and planinum lines out as you wish as well there still both from 04 and somewhat outdated ..

Yes, it is still in the beta stages so it is definitely buggy.

What the hell is your problem, shut the hell up. I don't care if it is outdated they are 2 of my 6 computers I have.
Hey, maybe YOU should shut the hell up. This entire thread doesn't need to exist, you could have found all the information you needed without cluttering up the forum further by SEARCHING.
