Problem upgrading liteon using JF 1.51

Post by ghost.x74 »

A couple of months back I tried to flash a liteon using the very first jungleflasher. The computer froze at the infamous liteon erase stage. Luckily I had already got my key, dummy, inquiry and identify files so I used Cofrees video and followed the steps to flash the drive using dosflash.

Now I want to upgrade the liteon nto 1.51 using jungleflasher. The problem is that when I click the "dummy from ixtreme" button I get a popup message telling me that dummy.bin is missing some drive specific information. It goes on to say that if possible I should re-extract my drive key.

I have tried to re-extract this information again using my CK3pro and probe but when I click on the "get key, create dummy open as source" button then the same message appears.

I know that I could probably continue and flash the drive but I want to know why JF keeps flagging up this error and what can be done to correct it. Does it mean that their could be any mor of a chance that the console could have stealth problems on live??

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

from the sound of it
you drive is missing some of the ser information.

use jungle flasher
and input your dummy as source and then
the new ix v1.51 as target and see what it does.

Thanks for the quick reply Cofree.

Which dummy file should I use?

The one that I used when I first flashed the drive or should I go ahead and make a new one despite the error messages?

OK I think you are correct about the missing serial info Cofree.

But the error message says that I can rebuild this using jungleflasher clicking the advanced view and double clicking on the serial data to launch the serial re-build applett.

When I do this there are some numbers missing. I found the laser number and added it. The application already had the HW ver and cover numbers. Now all im looking for is the PCB numbers.

Its looking for

10 digit second row of the pcb label

8 didgit third row of pcb label

Where do I find these numbers so I can rebuild my missing serial info?

No problem.

Im gonna take the drive apart and then the 360 if I have to until I find that number.
Then im gonna try and manually input the missing information.
If it works out for me then I will post back here.
Im sure that there must be others in this position too that could use this information.
It couldnt just be us.

OK, I have found the PCB numbers and rebuilt the missing serial information and flashed my drive.

The missing information (in my case) was the laser barcode number and the 2 pcb numbers.

The laser number can be found on a small sticker beside the laser when you open your Liteon drive.
The PCB numbers are a little bit trickier. They can be found on a sticker located underneath the small PCB inside the Liteon drive. You need to remove 2 small screws on the board to get to it. The update serial applet in jungleflasher actually shows a little black and white icon beside the numbers that its looking for. These icons match the icons on the stickers that you are looking for (so that you dont get the wrong number)

Once you have got these numbers manually type them into the boxes and click OK.
Now jungleflasher will create a file called dummy_fixed.bin

From here on in the process is the exact same...........load your target fw and spoof source to target and erase then write


By the way since I uninstalled my via drivers and just used portIO as shown in the other thread,,, jungleflasher didnt lock up :D :D

Just wanted to add that I started up jungleflasher again and then created another dummy file and I no longer get the error message.

So it looks like this has worked.

Hey, if your willing to work on it, just when you get time. I am sure this is something that other folks could really use, so it would be worth the wait.
