Help with Samsung

[wats12]

Hi All

I am having a problem getting the Sammy to go into vender mode?

I can do this ok normally BUT this one will not go into vender mode,
I have used JF & I prep but I can’t unlock it!
This drive has been flashed be for poss 1.4?
I don’t have the key or bin as this was flashed a the computer show.

Any help please

You need the 0800 unlock cd. It's only used for ixtreme versions prior to 1.5 so anything with 1.4 or less needs that disc. You can find it on xbins under firmware I believe.

Is your via card disabled? I was having a hell of a time with my samsung drive before I disabled mine. I would get all 3 stages, then it would fail.

you are making this difficult for yourself. if you use jungleflasher 1.62 it would make things much easier. IIRC, start reading from page 19 (the jungleflasher pdf) & there's acertain section that specifies how to use without the activate.iso cd. it worked like a cinch & it should work for you as well as long as you've followed all other steps (disabling the via driver & renaming) & installing port i/o if so, you 'll be golden & up & running like the rest of us good luck.
