New Drive Question

[Jimmy123]

My current LiteOn 748 drive is now dead and needs to be replaced, I have a backup of my drive so my questions is should I just replace it with another LiteOn 748 or should I be looking a different model and make + is everyone one now using the LT firmware ?

[djshauny1]

Yes use LT firmware

You can use another liteon if you like

Id personally go for a benq drive myself

yep i agree...benq are way much easy to do than a liteon....just spoof ur liteon keys into the benq and flash and ur good to go....

Benq's are my fav drive, but some think spoofing can make you more detectable.

Although, I am not 100% sure, but I dont think LT is able to be spoofed, only the key is copied over, as the console doesnt check what drive is in it, only the key. (because the M$ service tech's got lazy I guess?)

Thanks for the responses, I've now purchased one of these drives but will I need to prepare it in any way or can I just flash it ? or do I need to use the 360 tools and use the BenQ Unlock button ?

Not flashed a drive for a while, is this the correct method:

Running XP with JungleFlasher 1.66

1) Load open source firmware (My dummy firmware from LiteOn drive).
2) Open target firmware (BenQ LT 1.2).
3) Spoof source to target and save file.
4) Select I/O port and click write.
5) Outro / ATA Reset.

Sorry if this is all wrong

2) Open target firmware (BenQ LT 1.2).
3) Spoof source to target and save file.
4) Select I/O port and click intro/device id THEN click write.
5) Outro / ATA Reset.

if your drive doesnt go into vendor mode when you click the intro/device id button then try BenQ Unlock instead

Thanks for all the help, I'll give it a try once the new drive turns up

good luck!

Tray should also be half open when trying benq unlock and intro, it usually helps.

All Sorted, the BenQ was much easier to flash.

Many thanks
