Bad status in Vendor mode ...

[pluto_00]

hmz ...

I'm trying to update a benq drive using JF

It goes into vendor mode status 0x73 after sending intro

but when i hit the read button it says this

Getting Status from port 0xEC00
Invalid Status 0x50


WTF ? What could be the cause of this ?

[chrislfc]

does it have LT firmware on the drive

[pluto_00]

yeah it does have the LT

when i did that drive from 1.61 to LT i had the same problem but i dont know how i fixed it then

[chrislfc]

in know with LT on lite-on's it wont let you read the drive it something to do with the F/W.

just load your source F/W (original f/w or one with your key in) then load your target f/w LT v1.1 get your drive in vendor and then write job done.

[barelynotlegal]

when you flash with LT or LT v1.1 its like it mimics a 9xxxx series drive, so unless you have your keys...
you would have to go about it like the 9xxxx series drive.
