need help restoring original firmware

[lilrevuk]

yah try it before you resend the command to your drive.... I would try it at a few different times, see if it makes a difference...

If you flashed it before, you should be able to access it again

[timster788]

i cannot find the enable 0800

[timster788]

and if i ever find it do i have to burn to a dl disc

[lilrevuk]

I'm sure it's on xbins, but you can find it here as well.

[timster788]

i found it it was in xtreme 33

[timster788]

do i need to burn it to a dual layer disc

[timster788]

the drive will not eject

[lilrevuk]

what the drive will not eject at all, or the drive will not eject now you have 0800 in it??

[timster788]

it wont eject at all

[lilrevuk]

Right, go right back to the beginning...

Let me know your setup, OS and all the steps you took when you first did the dump/flash. You said your key was ok in FWToolbox?

Can you see the drive at all in iprep?

As long as you have a backup of the key from the drive, you'll be able to sort it with or without that drive. For some reason, it sounds like the drive is dead, but I know sadalius managed to bring one back that he thought was dead. The difference was though, he could get the drive to open.

[timster788]

never mind the lasti foundout what was was wrong there
now the drive is reconized but in iprep it say mtk vendor intro failed on port 0xdd00

[lilrevuk]

yep, you need the drive to be half open/closed. the easiest way to do this is with a connectivity kit v2/3

Are you using a VIA card, or are you trying from your mobo?

[timster788]

i am using my mobo it read it the first time before i screwed it up do i need the 0800 disc or is this another problem

[lilrevuk]

I think the only difference is that the firmguard is active now it has been flashed, even though the fw reports the drive as a 25...

You can try the 10 sec/bad flash method, the 0800 disc can have the same effect. I personally use Dosflash 32 for Sammy's though... If you want to try that, there's a few pointers here

[lilrevuk]

any joy dude??
