reflashing a lite-on

[piojo]

hello

I tried to search for this but I haven't found any topics related.

I have a lite-on drive flashed with 1.6 fw and I have a few questions about reflashing(when 1.61 is out):

1) There are some rumors that say that if you power the drive with the xbox itslef, a notice will be logged and there's a chance of getting banned. is this true?

2) if I have the original dummy,key... files can I use them or is it better to extract from the drive?

3) to extract from a flashed drive, I just need to power the drive and connect the sata cable, right? I dont need a probe or a ck3 and to connect the serial/usb connection?

moved your post to the right area.

i never use the console to power the dvd drive
get a ck3 of some kind to power the drive.

2) if I have the original dummy,key... files can I use them or is it better to extract from the drive?

it dont matter

3) to extract from a flashed drive, I just need to power the drive and connect the sata cable, right? I dont need a probe or a ck3 and to connect the serial/usb connection?

most of the time
i have had to use a probe and do it the long way on a 74 liteon a few times

so a ck3 lite is enough, right?

yeah if you have a COM port on your pc. i always dump a drive a couple of times to ensure the keys match. if you're reflashing you can redump or use your original dummy.bin.
