Updated my drive (324-98b), burned an XGD3 disc with imgburn. It never asked about overburn or anything, and completed the disc perfectly.

Seems like it rocks 100%

Hi all I've got a iHas224 b all flashed up but as I am waiting for some verbs and no where in the uk sells dual layer verbs at ten at night on a Saturday I decided to try some cheapo tesco double layer disks set it to the 4x options and it burns all the way through no errors and verifys no errors so is that back up safe or not

Can someone explain a little bit more for me please.

Right now i can rip a XGD3 game using IMGBurn and play my backup copy on my L.T.2.0 360. Why should i buy this drive and flash with the max FW if my current drive is successfully burning these XGD3 ISO's.

Thank you

Found This so it answers my question thanks

Just read the other forums or c4e speaks. All XBGD3 game copies aren't 100% of the game. Just 97-98% of the game. It still allows the game to boot, but is not live safe, because of the CIV checks. They know that the game isn't a full copy, and there for you are flagged for ban. It's not safe to play these yet. C4 is making pc burner firmware so we are able to burn XBGD3 to 100% on verbs.

QUOTE(defhead @ Oct 23 2011, 10:04 AM)

When you rip the game, you end up with an ISO that's 8.13 GiB in size. The disc capacity is 7.96 GiB, so the ISO doesn't fit on.

Using the previous burning method, you would select the truncate option in ImgBurn and that tells ImgBurn to burn as much of the ISO as will fit on the disc, so when the burn gets to 100%, that "100%" actually means that the disc is 100% full, not that you've burned 100% of the ISO. You've only burned the 97% or so of the ISO that will actually fit on the disc and that is causing some new checks to fail in Forza 4 (and possibly other games).

Burner Max allows you to burn 100% of an XGD3 ISO to a regular DVD+R DL disc (presumably using a custom overburning method - although I'm just speculating there) which means that the checks in Forza 4 (and any future games that use the same checks) no longer fail.

EDIT - I see you found your answer while I was typing this reply! Haha.

I flashed my 224B (converted to a 624B) with it last night and it's worked fine so far. I've burned a couple of games at 4X on MKM-003 discs and scanned them with KProbe and the error rates are well within limits, and the games play just fine on my 360.

Its got to be the most common model available in the uk as its the cheapest of the 6 in the range, because most of the models internal hardware is almost identical so you can crossflash the drive to a higher model. I cossflashed my IHAS124 b w to a IHAS524 to give me the extra features. It now has LTMAX on it and is working perfect with the verbs, just got to find another brand to work rather the the expensive verbs or they fine tweek the firmware to suit other media. Thanks go to C4E.

All of the models that start with an odd number are the same in terms of hardware. So are all the even numbered models. You can convert a 123/324 to a 524 and you can convert a 224/424 to a 624 to unlock the features of those models.

Not really, you only need a new JF if you want it to say LT2.01 in JF. You can still flash LT2.01 using old JF it's definitions are just not updated to say LT2.01 so feel free to flash away...

No, you need an Xbox 360 Benq/Liteon drive to rip with new 0800 fw installed on it, - as per release nfo, to rip xbox 360 games. The listed burners are for burning the new large disc images.

I've had a look through all six firmwares using MediaCodeSpeedEdit (MCSE), all six firmwares have the same entries in their media code tables (with a new "MKM-0a3" replacing MKM-003 in the iXtreme versions) with only one exception: the iHAS-324 and iHAS524 "know about" one additional DVD-RAM disc that the others don't.

Whether the writing strategies differ between the drives though, I don't know. In case you fancy crossflashing to a different version and trying that out, the firmware details are:-

iHAS-124 B AL0S 2011/08/11 10:09
iHAS-224 B GL0A 2011/05/12 13:37
iHAS-324 B AL1B 2011/09/06 15:01
iHAS-424 B GL1A 2011/05/12 13:28
iHAS-524 B AL2A 2011/09/14 14:47
iHAS-624 B GL29 2011/05/10 09:24

If you don't mind losing LabelFlash I'd recommend crossflashing (read the guides) to an iHAS-524B which appears to be the newest of the lot.

Went into Drive advanced setting on imageburn and changed ForceHyperTuning on, OnlineHyperTuning on and Smartburn off, and have no idea what these settings do!!!

Anyway now my discs are burning and verifying 100%, No idea if its because I changed these setting or not, but I'm now happy.

Cant seem to get this working. Any help would be appreciated.

Using a Liteon iHAS124B drive. Flashed with iHAS-124B-AL0S-MKM001MKM003-final - flash successful.

Downloaded the latest version of IMGburn, set all setting in IMGburn as prompted in the guide. Using Verbatim MKM003 disks, as soon as I go to burn, get the message not enought room, errors at 97% and then closes track.

Any suggestions?

If you install the firmware, can you still use the drive for non xgd3 burning, or does it trying to burn all discs in the larger format? (ie for regular burning in programs like nero or what not).

My drive should arrive in the mail tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out if I can swap it out for current burner, or if i need to buy a sata card to make room for another drive.

Cant seem to flh my drive. Hmmm..... Can do everything, then get to the part where I needto flash the drive and it saves "error cannot flash drive"

Any clues? I've added this burner to my existing set up, so could it be that I've got 2 burners inside the machine now and one is conflicting with the other?

Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have the iHAS124-04 from New Egg.... 3 of them actually.... also bought the (very expensive) Verbatim MKM-001 DL Discs from Amazon.... flashed the drive following the official tutorial... didnt change ANY settings and also turned OFF OPC according to the tutorial... burned about 6 titles at 2.4x speed all 100% with 100% verification. it was expensive but worth it I guess.... Burning Arkham City right now.... at 99% Verification.

I will try to mess around with some settings and see if any of these TDK's verify OK.... I can still use them to burn XGD2 titles tho so they are not useless yet.

Thanks to everyone who busted their asses to get this up and working... especially C4E...

Well they could - but then they have the embarrassment and bad PR of unbanning people and giving them compensation. That latest ap25 fiasco was the first time the company line changed from "Enforcement team is never wrong, it is impossible to reverse a ban" to "We dun fukked up!"

yeah it might help tune for different media as it's using a finer pitch, I think it prolly just kinda calibrates on the fly somewhat.. as long as it doesn't interfere with any of the Burner-Max FW ... (50% is the layer-break so it kinda makes sense)
I suspect we will find some brands better than verbs for this (eventually) as many of the cheaper made ones now have thicker edges etc. I've had some really bazzre stuff happen during burns even before this new 'Burn-Ware' .. I'm glad it's not my bluray burner copping it.. These lightscribes are a good choice as they can put writing on the edges and 'erase' existing +R data etc.. I would guess the later ones are same but better laser (or better heat handling etc..) so I would guess they might not last as long as the natives..

I got EEPROM_Utility_6.2.0 this and when I try to backup my eeprom I am getting "Error reading EEPROM from drive!" Do I need to change any settings or my drive is not comparable for crossflashing.

I was successful in burning an xgd3 iso with my new iHAS124B w/ MAX Burner FW and using a verbatim MKM003. It verified 100% in ImgBurn.

Today i tried to burn an XGD3 iso onto one of my Amazon Basics disks, and well, it burned and verified 100% successful just like the verbatim.

What do you guys make of this? It would be nice if i could use up my 40 or so extra Amazon Basics disks if they work with XGD3. (Disk ID: UMEDISC-DL1-64)

iHAS124B + MKM003 @ 2.4x w/ OPC on - Fail Verify at 50%
iHAS124B + RICOHJPNSD0 @ 4x w/OPC on - Fail at finalizing disc, ran out of calibration space.

iHAS124B flashed properly - check
Using proper media - check

Trying at 2.4x with OPC off. If that doesn't work I'll try turning off some other settings as Bucky006 did.

Nope, it didn't.

MKM003 @2.4x w/ OPC off - Fail at verify 50%

Bad media? I just bought this batch especially for this task.

Advanced Settings: Force HT:No, Online HT: No, OverSpeed: No, SmartBurn: Yes

From the the years of experience I have burning and testing media I've found that the rated media speed is usually the best for the highest quality burns (less errors). This burning at 2.4x and 4x has me baffled.

Anyway... One more test is underway. MKM003 at MAX (8x) w/ OPC off.

I was already using ImgBurn 2.5.6.0 so I didn't bother installing it again. I wonder if their differences in the v2.5.6.0 versions.

Same here, I burnt BF3 in Ridisc discs with those settings at 4x and verified 100%.

Thanks Bucky006!!!

So, in resume:
ForcedHypertuning + OnlineHypertuning + Smartburn = profit with all discs

Try a different port.

Tried different sata port as thought did not make any difference.

This is very strange, as the drive works great and is identified by most everything correctly on the PC except for the eeprom and flash utility. Curious how other apps, and Windows 7 recognizes the drive, but these two programs are clueless it even exist on the computer.

And without those I can't backup or flash the drive.

I guess I can do or try it from another PC, but this still baffles the mind.

My asus 24b1st can burn labelflash using c4eva's 524 firmware. Lite-on's bundled nero essentials is the only software I've found that will burn the labels, which is available on their website. There's no labelflash option in any retail copies of nero, unfortunately.

It's also 6 for 6 on amazon basics 8.5gb ($.50/each) media at full speed with imgburn and drive settings untouched, so I suspect some of you have misflashed your drives if you're coastering out with pricier media.

It's also worth noting that burning slower is not necessarily better. The dyes used in blank media are formulated very carefully to be written at a particular rate/power level. Sometimes the sweet spot is perhaps one step above or below the nominal rated speed, but the logic of just writing a disc as slowly as possible is flawed.

I haven't tried Smart Erase, but I did try LabelTag and it worked fine. If you don't want to install Nero 9 Essentials just to use LabelTag, you can use Lite-On's SmartPack utility which is available on their site. Just make sure you don't use it to update the drive's firmware though.

To use LabelTag with SmartPack you have to first burn data to your disc using your regular burning software, but don't finalise the disc. Then fire up SmartPack and you can tag the disc and finalise it. It looks good, but it uses up space on the disc and obviously the bigger the tag is, the more space it uses up.

I'm pretty sure that's not how you do it.

Try the following at your own risk - I'm only saying this because I don't want to be blamed if you brick your drive! This is the method I used and it worked fine. Make sure that if you have multiple burners in your PC that you select the correct drive in the drop-down list of any of the applications you use for converting/flashing, or you could end up flashing the wrong drive and bricking it.

1. Back up firmware and EEPROM.

2. Download the descrambled firmware for the drive you want to convert to from the codeguy's site (http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html), so in your case you want the AL27 stock firmware for the 524. They don't have AL2A (the latest for that drive), but that's not an issue as you can update once the drive is converted.

3. Update the firmware using the file you just download, then fire up EEPROM Utility, click on the CrossFlash tab and hit the "Convert Drive" button.

4. Shut down your PC to power cycle the drive, then when you turn it back on it should detect the "new" drive and it'll show as a 524 in Device Manager.

5. Update the drive's firmware to AL2A (the latest for that drive) either using the exe file that comes with Burner Max, the exe file from Firmware HQ or Lite-On's SmartPack utility.

6. Back up firmware and EEPROM again.

7. Flash with the Burner Max firmware for the 524.

Most of the failures are media problems.
Not so much the media really being poor but the combination of the media and these Lite-On burners.
Lite-On has never been at the top of the list of quality burners so they pretty much require quality media just for a burn to be good.

I would start first with verbatim media with success and then try others. If you can't get verbatims working then you know you have issues.

Possible chipset issue?

Using NVIDIA 680i SLI.....

First I tried the Stock and then iXtreme Burner Max firmware iHAS-124B because that's what drive it is.

I then crossflashed with iHAS-524B and still no luck.

AHCI/RAID Off or On it doesn't matter!

No luck whatsoever in ImgBurn with the following settings either turned Off or On

Force HyperTuning
Online HyperTuning
SmartBurn
Peform OPC

It doesn't matter what setting I use it will stop at 50% with the following error (see picture)

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/220/capturewx.jpg/

This leads me to believe there is a issue with incompatibility with the chipset. I have another computer that is using a ECS Black Series board with another NVIDIA chipset GeForce 8200 to be exact and I have no issues whatsoever and even had AHCI turned on in the BIOS when I flashed the drives and even when I burn.

Used WinData brand media on both computers

GeForce 8200 - Works
nForce 680i SLI - Doesn't Work (Using latest drivers here http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce-vista-win7-64bit-15.58-driver.html)

You don't use the ALOL firmware from the codeguy page because that's for the 124B. The point of downloading firmware from that page is so you can download the firmware for the drive you want to convert to. Convert the drive, power cycle it/reboot so that it now shows up as a 524 under Windows, update the firmware to the latest (for the 524 obviously, as your drive is now effectively a 524), then flash with Burner Max for the 524.

Basically, just follow the instructions I already posted as they apply to anyone converting a 124 or 324 to a 524. If someone is converting a 224 or 424 to a 624 the only difference is that you download the 624 firmware from the codeguy's page, then once the drive is converted you would upgrade the firmware to GL29 (the latest official firmware for that drive) before flashing with Burner Max for the 624.

Then I crossflashed to 524B yet I'm getting the same results...!

My board is GigaByte and OS is Win7 X64 with all updates....

I have 1 524B connected to the MB sata port and the other 524B (total 2 524B in my desktop) is connected to a sata controller (not sure either sil3512 or VIA 6421 since I have both in my system)... and both drives fail at 50% verification with I/O error...!

It seems these issues are not related to media type since I've been using the same media for years....It could be a burner/FW/Setup compatibility issue...

You definitely need to read and understand the instructions before you attempt to crossflash, and what crossflashing actually does, otherwise you'll probably brick your drive.

In short: Once you crossflash to a 524B and run the Convert Drive tool, your drive will not be a 124B any more. It will BE a 524B.

I know, but what would be the point in installing the firmware for a 124B and then hitting "Convert Drive" in EEPROM Utility? That would only convert it to a 124B - which is what it already is!

What you need to do is install the firmware for the drive you're converting TO, so a 524B in your case, then when you hit "Convert Drive" that's what it's converted to.

I also agree with the post above from Exobex - If you don't know what you're doing and you don't carry out the process correctly, there's a good chance you'll brick your drive so make sure you read the instructions carefully and follow them, including making the necessary firmware/EEPROM backups.

Thanks bucky006! Before I used your recomended setings, using TDK media, the verifying would always fail. After the changes, everything works great! Using 124B drive.

Thanks

Wrong,

My Aones are verifying fine on my lite-on and my pioneer217, and also installing fine onto my Xbox HDD.

Verbs are expensive and most definately not required to burn XGD3.

Since changing my settings I've burnt 9 XGD3 without a failure, and all install fine and run from HDD.

yes you have to update to 2.01 for the sammy to use the 100% xgd3 backups, old backups should work fine.

Verbs are hardly expensive...

$1 each or less on amazon.com

I guess in comparison to memorex or aone or windata at 50-80 cents a disc you might consider that expensive. I just buy verbatims because they have been proven to be the most compatible disc and will read on every drive, while cheap media does not work on every drive, work good when have some light surface scratches,while cheaper brands even with light scratches will not work, and they don't make your laser work alot, I seen it take longer times to see "Play Game" with cheap media compared to verbatims. Also seen lots of unrecognized disc errors with cheap discs as compared to verbs. Most times I have replaced a customers laser or drive was when they were using cheap media.

For the record Ive not had ONE coaster yet and Ive burned about 15 discs so far.

OPC does a small test write/read in the lead in area of the disc in order to determine the optimum laser power to use to burn the data. If you get coasters with it on and good burns with it off, then just leave it off as the only reason it was recommended to turn it on when burning MKM-003 discs at 4X is to ensure that the disc burns/verifies 100%, but in your case it's having a detrimental effect.

c4eva obviously did tests, but his tests can only go so far as there are various types of drive running on all kinds of hardware setups and some people are getting perfect burns with media X on drive Y, while another person using the exact same media/drive is getting constant coasters, so I would use whatever settings give you the best quality burns (or at the very least - burns that verify 100% with no errors).

You could also try burning at 2.4X and compare the 2.4X burn with a good 4X burn using KProbe to see which gives the best results. If the 2.4X burn is noticeably better, then it's best to stick with that speed even though it'll take a few minutes longer each time.

Have you experienced problems with windata before? I have been using them a long time with no issues.

Yeah, I've had good results most times but sometimes getting a spindle with half the disc not very good.
I do a quality scan with a Nero DiscSpeed capable drive on every dual layer burn I do with the same Benq 1620 burner. I've been doing that for years in order to check the quality of my burns. Keeping all factors the same except the disc that was burned allows me to get a good idea when disc quality is bad.

This is why c4eva says that verbatim is the only disc they found to work consistently. Many other bands will work but quality can vary greatly from spindle to spindle. These variations will lead to errors and failures.

When you load Imgburn in iso burn mode, it will give you the media code information in the right side window.
There are other apps that give this info too but this is the easiest for you.

Same here. Even with mkm-003 and tried different settings, 4x = fail for me. Little frustrating, hell it's frustrating at 4x because while I always have used verbatims, I was burning max in about 16 minutes and is now 45 minutes.

I was starting to get at little worried when i read that serveral user inhere where having problems.

Well i replaced my current dvd-burner and replaced it with my new lite-on. ihas 124 B.

I did not crossflash it, cause the extra features i could have, was something i never gonna use.

I followed the turturial and upgraded the firrmware.

Put in verbatim MKM003 burned it with imgburn, i did not change any options in my imgburn.
Recently installed the new version, and the only thing i did different this time was that i marked the verify box (ZZZZ).

But no burn errors, verifyied without problems. Played perfect.

So far GOW3, Rage, Battlefield 3 and batman arkhan city without problems.

I have burned more than 200 discs and i only had two discs with errors.
The 190 disc was verbatim and ten of then is datatrax. The two discs with error is datatrax.
I never had problems with verbatim. I always used verbatim for thounsend of cd and dvds (music and ps2/movies) Never had any problems.

It is so funny when i see people claiming that this is only backup of original games, to protect them from their children.

My son is six years old and have been able to play xbox games for about a year, and the first thing i told him was to be careful to not scrath the discs. Never had any problem with that.

I am sure that someone must be telling the truth about the backup for protecting their originals, but come on others have been doing backups for so many years that their children have aged so much they have moved out of the house and gotten married already.

No luck with Windata on 324, would burn 100% but fail verify or would only burn 50% depending on settings,

Picked up 2.4x and 8x Verbatims today and tried with the cheaper 2.4x (OPC off) first and successful burn/verify.

iHas324B, not cross-flashed, using verbs 003, I've already coastered 6 discs, mostly tried 4x OPC on and a couple 2.4x OPC off, I'm always getting an I/O error when starting to verify layer 1 @ 50%

I'm definitely not the only person with this problem reading xecuter forums & IRC, it seems hit and miss... getting quite frustrating now seeing most of you having totally no problems, even with the cheaper brands

Planning to purchase another iHas124B and see if it makes any difference.

Already put this drive in 2 different PC's, different ISO's, different SATA-cable, different OS... always the same: coasters.

I have an issue with this release. I understand that the required drives has to have the Mediatek chipset.
The drives listed all have the B model at the end. My drive is a 524-32 A. So my drive wouldn't have the mediatek chipset according this list. However upon opening my drive, I found that the chip is infact mediatek, i can take pics if anyone wants to see.

The issue I have is that it won't let me update it to the iXtreme Burner Max firmware. Why is this limited to only the B model drives? Surely if the drive has a mediatek chipset, the model no. shouldn't be a restriction.

Any replies to this appreciated.

A and B are different revisions, different chips, and require different firmware.

You've in essence asked why you can't flash an intel p67 chipset with a p965 firmware, or an AMD 6870 graphics card with firmware for a 3870.

Quick question - what are the ramifications of not selecting the 'verify' when you're burning? How likely is it that it'll burn without errors but still have something wrong with it?

im using liteon iHAS-124 B and Aone dual layers :-)

using these settings>>> "Went into Drive advanced setting on imageburn and changed ForceHyperTuning on, OnlineHyperTuning on and Smartburn"

mine kept failing at 50% until i realised as i burn lots of avchd i had changed write mode to "dvd" instead of "auto", changed it back to "auto" and never had a fail since, so check you have it set to auto

im using Aone dual layers, burning at 4x speed, with opc enabled (ticked)

I've only burnt a few discs so far. First one was without errors and I didn't verify. Second one burned with the same settings and no errors but i decided to verify and it stopped at 49%. Since the second disc screwed up, I decided to check the first and it verified fine. The two since then have been fine as well so I guess its hit or miss. Just because there was no burning error doesn't mean the burn is successful.

The burn succeeding very rarely has anything to do with if it will verify, if the burn fails - obviously it won't verify.

That is to say just because a burn completed doesn't mean it will verify.

Otherwise why would verify even be needed

So people really don't care to wait for abgx to be officially updated to support XGD3? Ive been waiting for that before getting into the whole buying a new DVD burner, flashing it, and trying to burn these games... Seems like a exercise in frustration for a good few here before they get it right... Im patient enough until there is a good idea on what settings need to be in order to get a proper burn with creating x amount of coasters.

I'm sure http://www.meritline.com/verbatim-8x-dvd-plus-r-dl-branded-on-spindle-96542---p-27286.aspx from the same site is exactly what you want though.

Ok great... Yea it was one of those two that I was going to get. I got the 2.4x last time around and they've all worked great. With this new burning process, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to look for anything TOO specific as far as Verbatims go... but I usually go with those two options and they seem to be good to go... great... now about this layer break... is it the same in IMGBURN?

I crossflashed 2 ASUS DRW-24B1ST's and 2 iHAS 324 B's all to the iHAS 524B and then updated them to C4's new FW and they all work great with Verbatims.
Thanks C4!

I just re-flashed them all after using MCSE (media code speed edit) to alter the default burn speed for Ritek dual layers (Memorex) down to 2.4x. Now the Memorex's (Ritek) verify perfectly and install to HDD's perfectly.
I KNOW C4 has said that Verbatims are the only way to go, but if I can get the Memorex's to verify 100% and burn at 2.4x, what's the difference? Just quality and price? Is there any more risk of MS getting incorrect values back from the disc as a result of the lower quality?

so tehcnically with a new burner and the last firmware i dont have to wait for 2.01 for lite on like he made for the samsung

or there a 2.01 coming for all the drive ?

The main thing is to find a brand and media code that verified 100%. We already have seen different media work and some not work. He was being safe and suggesting the best, most likely to work media. That way people didnt start saying that his fw didnt work.

Considering that cheap media can differ from spindle to spindle, plus change media code and manufacturer. You and everyone else should be sure to check every new spindle. Watch for media code changes. He actually says to verify every burn.

XGD2 = 1913760
XGD3 = 2133520

You can leave the layerbreak setting on "calculate optimal" in ImgBurn if you have a .DVD file to go with your .ISO though, because the .DVD file tells ImgBurn where to place the layerbreak.

@moobypets - If you have a LiteOn drive in your 360 that's flashed with LT+ 2.0, then you're good to go. 2.01 for Samsung drives was just a bug-fix release for those specific drives only.

You have to swap your 4x+ strategy with a media code with 2.4x. Just double click on the media you want to switch and a new window will open to select the one you want to switch to.

I had similar problems with HDD install randomly failing with "dirty disk" errors.

But when I tried the same copies on my second xbox360, they all have finished successfully right away without a single error! So, it turned out that the first machine (it was used the most to play games) has dvd-drive that is getting old and is now very picky on the burns.

I also used KProbe and my scans are absolutely amazing. At 4x speed i got PI Max 1328 and PIF Max 87 after using MCSE and setting 2.4x speed i got PI Max 302 and PIF Max 4, not bad at all for cheap media. Considering 280/32 or under is ideal, 302/4 should definitely be good enough. arsa13 thank you for this awesome find it will definitely save some $$$. I don't see to many people here using KProbe, just because your burn verifies does not necessarily mean its a good burn for what we are using it for.

When you say "even sooner than it did before Burner Max" do you mean that you've always had issues with games failing to install? If so, it's probably either the media you're using or an issue with the 360's drive - maybe the laser needs tweaking.

Try running one of your burned discs through KProbe and see what the result is like. Post a screenshot of it here if you don't know what you're looking at.

also can confirm that Prima +R DL disc are MKM-003 and work awesome

They're not MKM-003. They've faked the media ID to make it appear that way. If they work OK and the longevity is good, you might as well keep using them though.

Still having problems with a sammy drive freezing up with a 100% verified and burned xgd3 disks. The drive makes a horrible screeching noise (stops), then the game freezes (Batman and Gears). Has anybody had issues like this with their sammy drives updated to 2.01? Could this be a bad laser or something in the drive? Doesn't happen with the originals. It's like it's having trouble reading the extended disk space. Thanks.

All right, got some good news. As per another poster somewhere in this thread: if your backups are failing to burn at 2.4/4x GO WITH THE MAXIMUM RATED BURN SPEED FOR YOUR MEDIA. It works, trust us.

These companies manufacture their products at MAX for a reason. I've done tests on 3 different types of media (cheap kinds, btw) and their kprobe results at the slowest settings were MUCH WORSE than at their fastest. For instance, the best I got was 142/8. Installs perfectly. The worst I got at the slow speed 242/234. Epic fail.

Burn at max for cheap media.

You're welcome. I actually got that info from xbox360iso.com after wondering why I couldn't burn the exact same memorex media that my Pioneer burned @ 2.4x at 2.4x with the Liteon. The Liteon would only let me burn it at 4x with C4's FW which gave me thousands of errors when trying to verify.

Do you think KProbe is a better way to verify a good burn than just verifying it with imgBurn? I'll DL it and check it out. If it can verify the whole disc and tell me if it was a good burn or not I'll use that instead.

Your post count is going to make people believe you unfortunately. It's simply not true what you're saying. I challenge you to burn an 8x Aone DL with an XGD3 image and show me a verify read graph curve going up to 16x at the layer break.

This is a challenge for Verbatim branded DLs and simply not possible for Aone.

Your argument has a grain of truth in that burning at the slowest speed is not a good idea and does produce inferior burns to a more sensible 4x for 8x media. This isn't exactly new info though, fools have been rabbiting on for years about "always burn at 2.4x"...They've been saying it since CD writer days.

For example, a CD-R rate at 48x will burn best around 24x, anything lower and it will give a worse results, and likewise for faster. DVD+\-R\DL are a similar story. You can't go wrong with burning a an 8x DL at 4x and you can't go wrong with burning a 16x SL at 8x.

I didn't have a chance to read through this whole thread yet, but I tried burning Battlefield 3 Disc 1 with my new modded LiteOn iXtreme burner, and both times it failed at Verification step around 50%.
Catch is, I only had Memorex DL discs to try with at the time (waiting for Verbs)- would that really be why it actually failed at verification? Or should it not actually fail? Now I am worried about whether there is some other reason for failing.

I had tried burning at 4x, with Verify and OPC checked, and with the .dvd file selected (layer break set to calculate optimal).

Should it have failed twice with this media? Is Battlefield 3 even the type to try with this new method/burner/options?

Thanks,
Justin

The Ritek (memorex) are just fine. You just need to use MCSE to change the write speed for said discs to 2.4x and then re-flash your drive. I've done this and now all my Memorex (Ritek) burn AND verify 100%.

QUOTE(just4747 @ Oct 25 2011, 07:31 PM)

With stock C4 FW it seems normal (in my experience) for Memorex to fail verification every time. I tried an xgd2 game @ 4x with OPC enabled BEFORE I re-flashed with MCSE optimized FW (aka- original C4 FW) and it DID verify 100%. As you experienced, though with original C4 FW any xgd3 backup burned with Memorex did fail verification every time.

Yes, Justin. As I've already responded to you that IS what happens when you try to verify a Ritek s04-66 (memorex DL) burned @ 4x with C4's FW.

You need to use MCSE to change the write speed of that media ID to 2.4x, save, reflash your drive with the new FW and then reburn. Try this and report back if you still have problems. It has been working on 4 different drives for me for 2 days now by the way.

Would this disc actually play normal all the way through even though it failed do you think?

If I do the above method to the drive, should I also turn back off Hyper and Online Hyper tuning since I turned it on according to dreday?

I loaded up the FW in MCSE and found the media in the list, but what is the proper way to change to 2.4x? I see you double click the media, and you have to choose a different drive's speed to replace with, but then it says can no longer support that chosen media. Should I choose any media that says 2.4x? like "ISSM"?

I wouldn't risk it. -- That is trying to use the disc that failed verification.

You can have it turned on (with the eeprom or settings tool) but I noticed in ImgBurn that they were not enabled. So it's up to you, but for me it worked fine without anything but SmartBurn. Also, at 2.4x you DO NOT need to enable OPC in ImgBurn.

You have to double click on the media ID you want to replace (Ritek S04-66) and then a window will pop up. Select another disc ID to replace it with that burns ONLY at 2.4x... Make sure it's NOT an MKM (Verbatim). Then save the FW, and re-flash your drive with the new FW.

You probably need the most current version of the app.
You should not have empty fields where firmware rev and bootcode rev are.

Just open C4's burner max firmware for your model & double-click the media ID for your discs. Select one with 2.4x (not MKM, you don't want to mess up your ability to burn verbatims) then re-flash with your edited firmware.

Considering 280/32 or under is ideal, 302/4 should definitely be good enough.

With the default settings on KProbe (PI sum = 8 ECC blocks, PIF sum = 1 ECC block), it should be 280/4, not 280/32.

Hi, I have a IHAS-124B drive that I just purchased from Newegg.com. I followed the directions flawlessly. I upgraded the drive, restarted my pc, then backed up the Eeprom. Next i opened up FW utility and read flash, next i tried to write flash and it failed when trying to upgrade the fw. Any idea why it would fail? Should i try to crossflash to a newer version?

So how do I interpret the results from KProbe to tell if it's a good burn?

You can read all about it http://club.myce.com/f76/interpreting-pi-po-error-scans-80545/. Basically you want to stay under 280/4 or not much over at default settings. You may get spike at the layer break on your scans. The option to remove the spike does not work for me so i have mixed feelings about if its a problem or not. Just something to keep in mind if you get a single spike at the layer break.

To tell you the truth, I had not heard of Kprobe before this XGD3 Burner Max fiasco. I've always used NeroCDspeed to test my discs. If 280/4 is fine, then I'm in great shape with my TDK discs. So far I haven't went farther then 215/7 & that is all spike at the layer break.
Well, then I saw this:
http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73298
That entire thread is about how we are supposed to keep it under 100/4. C4eva seems to believe that just verifying with no errors in imgburn is fine. Without ABGX to test our discs, I do see the need for Integrity verification. 100/4 seems mountain out of mole-hillish though. I know there are plenty of people hear that do media scans & cd-freaks associates, what do you guys think?

I don't know where that 100/4 figure comes from - I know it comes from that forum, but what I mean is, who came up with that and why? The 280/4 standard is based on pressed original discs, so if you're below that you should be fine. The 2 burns I've tested (Verbatim MKM-003 at 4X with OPC on) have given results of about 40/4, so I should be fine either way.

Hey how did you get this working? I did all that and am still getting failed verify at 50%. I have a 124b (not cross-flashed), ran MCSE and changed the media code for Ritek-s04-066 to Ritek-d01-001 since that was 2.4. Is this not correct? Are you supposed to select a completely different media brand?

Sorry I meant I have 224b, not 124b. In any event, why would anybody need to crossflash one iHas fw to another? I thought that was for those with diff manuf drives (non-Liteon)? So confused in that area.

Anyway, so I have a 224b, ran MCSE, set the Ritek-s04-66 to burn at 2.4 by selecting Ritek-d01-001. Saved the changes and reflashed that firmware. Burned in imgburn with OPC = Off at 2.4. The burn is fine, but just like before, the verify fails at 49-50%. Where are the Hypertuning settings?? I've looked all over and can't find them. Omg I'm normally not this helpless, but this is beyond annoying. Screw it, I'm just gonna grab some Verbs instead of trying to use up the Ritek spindle lol.

Crossflashing a 224b to 624b adds the Labelflash & smarterase features that the 224b doesn't have. It's the same hardware, so it's like getting a free upgrade to the newer model drive.

The only difference between what you did & what I did was that I crossflashed to the 624b before I flashed the burner max firmware. I even selected the Ritek-d01-001, same as you. I doubt crossflashing it to a 624b made the difference, but it couldn't hurt. The hypertuning settings are indeed annoying to find if you don't know where they are at. When you open imgburn to write image to disc, on the bottom right there is the place where it gives you the number of copies you want. To the right of that are two icons, click the one that looks like a gear with a checkmark over it. Then go to the Lite-On tab. It's all right there. Mine are set to Force HT-off, Online HT-off, & smartburn-on. My burns have done worse in kprobe so far with Force HT & Online HT enabled, so I left those disabled.
Hope that helps.

Based on what others have said this is a pretty darn good burn and is probably why C4 recommends ONLY Verbatim media. I'll scan (and post) a few of my other Ritek (memorex) discs that were burned @ 2.4x after the MCSE FW update.

Changing it to another strategy with lower speed burning doesn't guarantee it will burn any better. Its still about the quality of the media. You may want to try the Ricoh 2.4x strat to see if its any better. If no luck then you know that batch just is not up to par.

I have some TDK (Ritek-s04-66)media I've had for ever that are the same way. They just aren't good enough to pass. Yet other people have TDK with the same code that will pass. Quality of some brand just vary like that.

I have the Liteon ihas 124b and have flashed it with burner max for that drive.

I am waiting for my verbatims to arrive. In the meantime I wanted to try some of my Memorex DVD+R DL. They are Disc ID: MBIPG101-R10-65

I cannot find this on the list of DVD media codes in MCSE. I tried creating it by selecting another type and renaming. However when I go to change the write speed none of the choices to replace it have 2.4x. I saw someone else had this problem and was choosing DVD+R9. I'm not choosing R9, I'm choosing DVD+R.

This is the file I am opening:
iHAS-124B-AL0S-MKM001MKM003-final

Any idea what's going on?

Wait... it just hit me, shouldn't we be using DVD+R9 cause the R9 would be dual layer right? The DVD+R would be standard 4.7gb. Am I right?

Thanks,

Didn't notice that you had your scan speed set to max; that might've affected your results. I suppose you have a case; we don't really know whether following the guidelines strictly really matter, It's just up to you whether you chose to follow them or not. I personally do chose to follow them as they have the credentials to backup their recommendations.

I'm pretty happy with my latest results though. Getting good burns after all unsuccessfully burning MKM001s.

You, sorry 'bout the non-quote.

I ran into the same problems as you with multiple different types of media. Burning slow gave me MUCH WORSE of an end-product than burning at the fastest speed. The media is rated at those speeds for a reason.

Someone a few pages back said I am only half-correct but I say try it and get back to me. Like I said, worked for me for multiple different types of media. I guess burning it faster is somehow more accurate.

10 coasters made with MKM003 media burnt with various settings 2.4x no OPC, 2.4x w/OPC, 4x w/OPC, 4x w/o OPC, HT:Off, HT:On, Online HT:ON, OFF, SmartBurn always on.

I also tried 2 of the MBI discs (RICOHJPN-D01-67) I normaly use. Both failed while burning near the layer break.

My first success was with an old RITEK 2.4x (RITEK-D01-01) disc I had a left over from years ago burnt at 2.4x w/OPC, while HT, Online HT, and SmartBurn were ON.

I then tried a few more times with the Verbatim media and I got 1 (one) success out of 5 tries. Not reliable at all.

Given that I had sucess with the RITEK disc and some of you had luck with Memorex (RITEK) I purchased some RITEK (RITEK-D03-130) 8x discs. I had the intention of enabling 2.4x for the media but I tried one at 4x first.

Guess what!? 5 discs in a row without any failures. Burned at 4x w/ OPC, HT, Online HT, and SmartBurn. I feel joy.

Looks like I've got a crap spindle of Verbatims. Now who was saying that Verbatims don't have quality variations? BTW the media is made in Singapore.

For kicks I'm burning a RITEK disc at 8x. Anyone what to predict the outcome?

I'm a happy camper. Not only do I have discs that burn right I also get a nice glossy inkjet printable disc surface.

Arsa and all, did what you told me with MCSE, re-flashed the burner fw, burned Battlefield disc 1 again the way you said and still fails at 49% during Verification.

The error popup said this:

Now burning and verifying successfully. I don't know, but maybe there's something up with the 224b MAX fw? In any case, joy! Thanks again

don't select the ritek d01-001 media id ! that's why u having problems as i said before choose the ricohjpn d00-001

I actually have both ritek s04-066 and ricohjpn d01-067 discs. I didn't want to change the riteks to ricohjpn d00-001 as that would disable the ability to use that code for the ricohjpn d01-067's. (god I hope that makes sense) Anyway, it's working for the moment, so I'll just leave it alone heh. Thx though! Maybe somebody else having this problem could try that out.

I burned Battlefield 3 with different settings. Both were on Ritek (memorex) DL S04-66 media.
First burn, BF3 disc1, Nothing enabled, except for SmartBurn. No HT, No online HT, OPC off, 2.4x, MCSE FW.
(IMG:http://cl.ly/07441G1j0M1T201z2I1y/Ritek_S04-66_No_HT_BF3D1.PNG)

Second burn, BF3 disc2, HT on, Online HT on, SmartBurn on, OPC off, 2.4x, MCSE FW.
(IMG:http://cl.ly/1x0N3P0Y143p291K2g0d/Ritek_S04-66_HT_BF3D2.PNG)

I think the second image speaks for itself. With the exception of the one PIF spike @ 6, the second disc is really good for cheap media! (Almost up to TX standards.) The first burn clearly shows that you need to have HT and Online HT enabled with Ritek media. Granted these results are just from a random spindle of Memorex DL I bought a few months ago, but it still helps illustrate a point...

We should all have OverSpeed OFF, Force HyperTuning ON, Online HyperTuning ON, SmartBurn ON, and OPC should be enabled if you burn faster than 2.4x from what I can tell.

Update: I re-burned BF3 Disc1 using the same settings I used on Disc2 and my PI/PO max was 104/4, which is really close to TX suggested standards using media that costs 1/2 of Verbatims.

but i absolutely DESPISE! burning so slow.

if it verifies, ok good at least i know i have this option to verify 100%.

then after I will try Hexx's to burn at faster speed. Hexx, how bout burner settings? no OPC? and default settings for the burner when it comes to HT, online HT, smartburn?

got myself the iHAS124-19B and was going to flash it to the burner max firmware on an acer notebook, i have the 360usbPro and flashed my 360 using this notebook. Knowing my only option is this notebook i went and bought an expensive conceptronic SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter. now when i connect the burner to the notebook via the adapter nothing happens, it simply wont detect the burner, neither device manager nor windows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The notebook runs XP and the adapter says this on the box "Turns any 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard disk, SSD or optical SATA drive easily into a convenient external drive". i tend not to post stupid questions for i have been around this site for a really long time and have always found the information i need by reading these forums , until now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif) any help would be greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) soo any hope for me guys??

NOW, i used RicohJPN 2.4x as mentioned above.

Burned fined.. and FINALLY, verified fine 100% via imgburn.

OPC OFF,
everything default,
hypertuning, online HT, overspeed, etc OFF. only smartburn was on.. these are default settings.

Today I gave Verbatim MKM003 a shot... Burned it at default settings (according to the tutorial provided with iXtreme Burner Max) with 4x, OPC and it fails to verify and install on the HDD at 50%. After that I burned the same image truncate method on another MKM003 on my laptop drive, which is TS-L33C AS061 and surprisingly it verifies 100% and installs to the HDD no problem.

The conclusion: LiteON Ihas B series is a pile of shit with the current firmware, it causes more frustration than joy. Till the firmware is improved I guess I stick to my regular DVD writer but I have to add that I'm slightly disappointed... But it does not mean that I don't respect C4eva's work and his dedication to the cause.

The .iso (Battlefield 3 disc 2) is a rip from the original and it was successfully burned on a regular writer, with the iXtreme Burner Max FW it was failing to verify on 50% (Verbatim disc), so probably on the layer-brake.

Yes I'am aware of the fact that the truncate option burns only 97% of the disc content (I've done my homework), but what the hell at least I have functional XGD3 backups instead of a set of new coasters for me, my family and friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I miss the times when you could just pop in a blank disc, quality wasn't such a vital factor, and burn it all the way without any problems. GOD DAMN YOU Microsoft....

Truncated in the first place, meaning when? When doing a rip from a legit copy to a hard drive?
I've thought the truncate option is used only when burning to a DL disc on a regular wirter, becuse it is just a type of over-burning a particular type of DVD\CD media.

What's the purpose of using truncate when doing a rip of a legit copy?

I successfully managed to burn Battlefield 3 disc 2 on a MAXELL DL (Ritek S04-066) with forced 2.4x speed (using Media Code Speed Edit). Verified with NERO DiscSpeed, all green. Still got to run the quality test in KProbe. All other settings at default, meaning: HT and OT <--OFF and Smart Burn <-- ON.

Strange that cheaper media worked for me (my first successful backup on LiteON Ihas 124-B ) . Nevertheless, I still have to run a bunch of test and hopefully find a proper way to make 100% working XGD3 backups with verbs. Perhaps the 2.4x speed is the answer... in my case.

QUOTE(DeadlyRox @ Oct 30 2011, 11:06 AM)

Why you dont use your 360usbPro and the external molex/ sata power supply with your iHAS124-19B? that work too

thanks for the info it worked great. I detected the drive, flashed it and burned a complete XGD3 with the notebook thanks to the 360usbPro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) now just one question (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) everytime i burn an xgd3 i will have to connect the burner to my notebook via the usbPro... does that put too much stress on it? i always burn at the slowest speed possible so thats like 1 hour to burn and verify... 1 hour of using the 360 usbPro as a transfer cable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

also big thanks to c4eva and his team for all the work

Burn 2,4x ok
100% verified ok
VERBATIM 8X (MKM003)

DVD Burner iHAS324-32B

RiTEK DVD+R DL 8X (RITEK-S04-066)

OPC off
other settings unchanged
Burn 2,4x ok
100% verified ok
Installed on xbox 360 hdd ok

Don't have access to Vertabim blanks at the moment, however I'v tried various combo settings to getting the burns to work on RiTEK's with no luck.

Used MediaCodeSpeedEdit to edit the firmware and reflashed my iHAS.

As suggested I changed the settings around for:

RICOHJPN - D00-001 -2.4x => Changed to RITEK - S04-066 - 8x, 6x, 4x
RITEK - S04-066 - 8x, 6x, 4x => Changed to RICOHJPN - D00-001 -2.4x

I was then able to burn at 2.4x with the RiTEK's and 100% verified ok.

So if you have a stock pile of the RiTEK's, why not give the above settings a try.

This evening I updated my 74850C to LT Plus v2.0 and tried burning disks in my iHAS124 B using a variety of settings.
No matter what I do, I put the disk into the 360, and it spins like normal - but within a few seconds it does a big clunk and then carries on fast for a few more seconds, then slows down. It looks like its starting to boot - but then I get stuck with a black screen.

I actually tried loading the 360 up with the disk already in the drive. I can see its splash screen, and even copy it onto my HD. When I try to play it, I get the same clunk noise!

My disk verified and seemed to burn ok using verbatim MKM003's at 2.4X with OPC off, Forced Hypertuning off and Smartburn on.

I did try some older disks and they play fine. Is it my burning thats wrong, or is it my actual FW on 74850C (or 02510C as its now known)??

hmm not good results for me

IHAS124b flashed correctly to C4eva Burnermax CFW for 124 drive (no crossflash)

using verbatim mk003 discs at 4 speed, OPC on, all other settings on except overspeed

only 1 out of 6 discs burns and verifies 100%, most fail bewteen 55 and 90% while verifying.

5 spool gone and only 4 good discs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

my forza 4 disc 2 verifies 100% but wont install to HDD, fails at 24% every time i try it.

not happy with this new burner at all, wasting a ton of discs here ffs.

anyone got any advice? should i burn at 2.4?

I used MCSE to swap the RITEK-04-66 burn method with the RicohJpn one to allow 2.4x burning. My TDKs would fail before @4x but now @2.4x they burn well, not Verbatim quality, but quite solid. I'll post a scan when I get around to it. Lite-On iHAS124B bought in November of last year.

I've "successfully" burned Forza 4 backup with the MediaCodeSpeedEdit trick, meaning forcing 2.4x speed. The disc is verified but when I put it in to my Xbox it doesn't load the game icon in the dashboard and the disc gives me a disc error code. I got the same effect both on Maxell and Platinum disc. The verbs are failing to verify on 50%.

The drive in my Xbox i OK, I've checked it. It flawlessly runs Battlefield 3 and GOW 3 backups, which are made on Platinum discs. What can be the problem in my case? The mentioned copies are made using overburn method. So far I had no luck with LitON iHAS-124 B.

Did you have another Pc that you can test it ? or maybe did you have and external enclose or maybe a X360 Pro ? Also try making a new USer in windows and go there (you will not have lots of stuff running in backgroud) and test

Mate, no offense but you probably shoudnt be copying games if you dont understand how the process works. Theres 26 pages on this thread along with hundreds of other threads that explain the most up to date info on making a backup.

But to stop this thread from filling with spam you need an original drive from a 360 any lite-on or benq drive will work and it needs to be flashed with C4's 0800 V3 firmware for ripping so until you have one of them theres no need to explain the rest.

This isn't meaning to be rude or anything (I'm british we're never rude (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif) )...

But the last 3-4 pages have just been people saying how to do the burn.

It's common knowledge at this point, as a starting point...

4x media...OPC on, HT on, OHT on, Smartburn on\off try both, overspeed off.

2.4x same but OPC off.

4 pages summed up in 2 lines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

If you still get crap burns, then buy some verbatims or chance your luck further with a different dodgy brand. People don't seem to realise that with the cheap discs there is a massive variation in quality from pack to pack. I've had Aone discs that out of 25 only 2-3 would give a good burn (for XGD2)...Other times every one has been perfect, although generally speaking that is rare.

Liteon burners are wildly unpredictable in manufacturing quality which doesn't help matters either.

I'm sure all this has been said already between different posts but it's getting a bit silly, those options are what you have so make do and if you're not happy still...pay up!

edit - in regards to swapping write strategies in Mediaspeedcodeedit, there's resources and findings from many people over at cdreaks forums. This sort of thing has been doen for years by them and they will have some definitive "good" swaps you can make. I'd suggest having a read there and then posting back here, there's people there who are obsessed with the perfect burn.

HI guys I am having some major issues with my ihas224. I previously bought a 324b and set it up and it worked fine in a external enclosure. With this 224 I havent had 1 good burn out of about 10. I have tried with/without smartburn, hypertuning etc etc. No luck. Either fails burning or fails verification. I even crossflashed to a 624.

I am just looking for any suggestions here. You think 03's would help? I just don't get it every iso I burned before on the 324 worked and now nothing burns on this thing. Any tests you guys can recommend? If you need more information on my issue I'd be glad to share.

Just an update, bad news for me, not sure about others, but it's a hit a miss for me on the RiTEK's, it burns and verify 100% ok at 2.4x. However, to make sure the disc's burn ok, I normally do a HDD install of the game on the xbox, if it installs 100% then I'll know I have a 100% good copy.

After a few successful burns, my xbox would then start to say the disc is dirty at random %, always at the same %. Burn another copy, same thing, however this time it's at a different %.
However my first few burns was ok and installs on the HDD fine, but the rest, it's random.

So the RiTEK's are no good for me, so I suggest for others to try and install the game to HDD first to make sure it installs 100% because I assume the game might freeze or say disc is dirty during game play.

Got myself some Verbatim 8x MKM 003 discs today and did a 2.4x burn with default settings and also 4x burn with OPC on, burned and verified 100%, installed on HDD 100%, even on the game I had issues before.

So it looks like some settings/combo's may work for others, so I suggest find a disc and settings that suites you, this would also mean a lot of coasters in the trial and error period.

So Verbatim's 8x are the goodies for me.

My 2 cents.

I got a little heads-up for Daemon Tools users, if you keep having problems burning/verifying, I suggest you get rid of Daemon Tools and the SPTD.sys driver.

My cousin kept getting coasters on MKM003 Verbs (made in India) media at 2.4x with OPC off.

After I uninstalled SPTD.sys and Daemon Tools everything worked like a charm (iHAS124-19 B ).

You say youre drive is mounted in an enclosure, is it a USB to sata or Esata to sata? This could be where the problem lies if its a USB to sata, i know some members are using X360USB sata bridge to connect there drives but it does get very hot and will lead to X360USB failure after time. Also have a look in your bottom right taskbar and disable any programs running that you dont need while burning. It just might be something there causing the problem, i know a program called AnyDVD can cause issues with burning software if enabled.

QFT!

i was successful with the mediacodeswitch got my ritek media (tdk/memorex) burned at 2.4x. verified through imgburn

but MW3 kept hanging, i tried to install it to HDD, FAILEDDDDDD

so this is the ultimate test for me is to install it tohdd.

but boy is it time consuming. time is money.. I will pay EXTRA for verbatims so i can burn at 4x and not have to worry and think its a bad burn and always having to install to hdd.

Exactly! Till you get a successful burn you have to support the coaster industry a bit, and than by trail an error method you'll get a good burn. In my case, I burned MW3 using the old school truncate method (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but at least it works and so on... but I had to clean the laser lens in my BENQ to install it on the HDD without any surprises on the way. Probably nothing new but installation on your console is the best verification, it seems.

8/10 of my verbatim 8x mk-003 discs failed to verify or install to hdd at varying percentages when burned at 4X very few actually worked out of a 25 spool i got 20 duff discs til i dropped speeds

10/10 of the same discs verify and install to hdd 100% when burned at 2.4x

an extra 15 mins per disc for me is fine, im not pumping out hundreds of copies to care about the extra time, im only burning my own games

The only failures have been Aone plus even after various settings and Mediaspeededit, i'm now waiting for some riteks to arrive so i can try then at 2.4. Ive already prepared the Liteon IHAS firmware ready and will post my results here.

WOnder if anyone can help?

I have run out of main mother board SATA connection, however I have 3 available on my VIA PCI SATA card i use for my flashing purposes.

Obviously I cannot have VIA drivers installed as they conflict with Jungleflasher.

Can this card work with my new iHAS124 drive without VIA drivers?

Or will I have to install the VIA drivers to use with this burner, then uninstall them when I have to do any flashing?

Thanks

all I have are 001 discs @ home and when I burn them at the recommended settings I get crap results graph from kprobe and sometimes errors on install to hard drive.
I force all the settings on in the lite-on adv. tab in imgburn and force them at a steady 4x and kprobe is happy and install to hdd is happy.

going any higher than 4x is error city for kprobe

Hey guys, I was wonmdering if someone could help me out here. I purchased an iHAS224 and flashed it and was getting bad burns with MKM-003 media no matter what setting I used. Always way too high in kprobe. I tried crossflashing to 624 and then reflashing iXtreme Burner and still got bad burns. I ran out and bought some MKM-001 media and, while slightly better at the layer break, it spikes above 100 elsewhere for PI and PIF in the 6s. I've also tried the drive in another PC with similar results.

So I bought myself an iHAS 324B and flashed it. Tested with MKM-001 and MKM-003 and still getting bad burns. The discs are made in Singapore, so supposedly the better discs.

Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on?

you're not being very specific with your settings... which advanced lite-on only options are you enabling or disabling and what burn speeds you're running at. its best to set a relatively high buffer in imgburn and make sure the image file being burned is not fragmented and the disk drive is not in use by any other programs.
I can watch my burns in real time and tell if they're going to be crap or not depending on how the speed fluctuates.

I've tried many combinations of Online Hypertuning/Force Hypertuning/Smartburn/Overspeed in the EEPROM along with OPC and BurnPROOF in ImgBurn to no avail. Six MKM-001 crap burns and 15+ MKM-003s. Tried the supposedly foolproof LightningUK settings (Force HT on/Smartburn on/Overspeed off/Online HT off and then 4x OPC off in Imgburn) with MKM-003 in both drives in both computers with no luck. One is running XP x86 with pretty much nothing on it (MSE disabled, no internet connection, no apps running, ImgBurn in realtime, tons of free drive space) and the other Win7 x64 with no foreground tasks and little in the background, 0% fragmentation on the drive and 40% free.

The MKM-003s are usually great until the layer break, where they've spiked from anywhere between 150 up to 2000 (yes, two thousand) for PI. The MKM-001s are higher everywhere else, but spike maybe 4 percent of the way in up to about 80, then 120 at the layer break, and then have a consistently worse second layer than gradually rises to a spike of 120 at the end. Same results in two different drives in two different PCs.

I refuse to believe that I got two bad drives/two bad batches of media, but I also know the PCs are good systems. I followed the guide for flashing perfectly (run upgrade, backup EEPROM and flash, write new flash), so I don't think it's user error, either. Really not sure what to make of this.

Tried 2.4x and 4x with the MKM-003 and 2.4x with the MKM-001 media. No dice. Drivers are fully up-to-date on both systems I've tested on. I spent last night fiddling around with different settings on both drives and MKM-001 media to see if there was anything I missed, but still didn't come anywhere near an acceptable burn.

I'm using a 224 cross-flashed to a 624 and MKM-003 discs. I was initially getting great burns, but then I tried to burn a game yesterday and I was getting coaster after coaster - crap KProbe scans and uncorrectable errors. I cleared the OPC history and switched to using Lightning UK's recommended settings and now my KProbe scans look like this: -

I too have tried almost ever combination (starting with the originally recommend settings) with mkm-001 discs and am getting better but far from good enough. At recommended settings on my 124 flashed to 524 i was getting a PI of 300 max and PIF of 6. I then removed the Daemon Tools SPTD driver and PI went down to 110 average and PIF doubled to 12! Ive continued to fiddle with settings but cant get below a PI of 110 and a PIF of 8. Lot of coasters so far

All have verified at 100% in Imgburn though

Yup, cleared the OPC history each time I changed a setting in the EEPROM. I really think it's possible I've just gotten two bad drives. I think I might pick up another one, another batch of MKM-003s, and install and flash it in a third computer and see how it goes. If it still doesn't work I'll just consider myself cursed and get an xk3y or something.

I finally got my burner sorted out with my MKM-001 Singapore media. I hope this might help out people who are still trying to get their MKM-001's burning correctly. I understand things are different for everyone but if it helps anyone then its worth it. This has been frustrating and I'm sure it is for many others.

Take a look at my first burn with MAX's suggested settings:
IPB Image

Absolutely worthless after the layer break. I keep fooling around with settings and not getting anywhere. I read around that the SPTD driver installed by Daemon Tools can fudge things up. So I uninstalled it using duplex-secure's removal tool from their website. Now, same suggested settings but with SPTD uninstalled:
IPB Image

PI comes WAY down but PIF doubles!! Obviously SPTD was having a huge affect on burn quality in my system. So from there I keep trying discs and get better and better even when all settings are selected in ImgBurn and the EEPROM tool:
IPB Image

At this point PIF is halved back to what it was pre-SPTD and PI is down a little too. Both are unacceptable still. Completely a wash after the layer break. I feel thoroughly out of options at this point. After making so many coasters at this point, I figure to hell with it, and burn these MKM-001 discs at 4x. The results are staggering:
IPB Image

An almost perfect burn. PI Max of 18, and a PIF Max of 3.

To you all that are still having trouble with your MKM-001 discs, try burning at 4x with all settings enabled! I understand the nature of this and therefore have no intentions of saying "this will fix your problems!" But the difference was an order of magnitude better for me than at 2.4x. I guess slower isn't always better.

Post by: angrykid on November 13, 2011, 08:56:00 PM

I wonder if this is just coincidence but could burning at 4x and reading back the disc in kprobe at 4x create those awesome results.... ?
has anyone tried a slower readback speed in kprobe with a slower burned disc ?

No, unfortunately that won't work. That spike is way too high and likely if you're installing to the HDD the Xbox will error out on transfer at the 50% mark. Additionally your PIF is 5 times higher than what it needs to be. Those memorex media are pretty tough to burn on and some people are redoing their firmware with a different one that seems to burn on them better. Do a google search with that disc ID and you'll see what I'm talking about.

It's a good quality burn but any errors are completely unacceptable. That means that in 4 different areas the errors are bad enough that no data can be retrieved. This will almost certainly manifest itself somewhere when used in the xbox. You'll need to re-burn still and see if you can get a copy of that quality but with 0 errors. Even 1 error qualifies that disc as a coaster. I'm curious if that disc even verified in ImgBurn? I wouldn't think it would be able to with the errors.
