thanks i will look into it but if i cant do it i might just have to stay with the lite on unflashed also i cant seem to find a com 1 port on my motherboard so it might not look good for me

the com port will be on the back of your computer.
its a 9pin rs232

that looks like the port where i plug in my monitor ? lol


so anyway ultimately there will be a ixtreme for the liteon right ?

or wil there only be this ? just so we can get the key an then swap in a benq or sammy.


i hope it gets it's own ixtreme too like all the other drives.

im sure it will man.
that will just take some time to get the firmware wrote.
Its my understanding its a form of benq firmware
so maybe it wont take to long to port it over to the lite-on.

right thanks again for pointing out where my com 1 port is on my motherboard when i get the things i need what cable do i need to connect it to my computer

That would depend on the card you get. I've been seeing some that plug straight into the serial port. Others require a serial cable for the connection. Make sure that when you spot a card that your interested in to ask and make sure about the connection. Some look like they straight into the port, but actually require a cable so it's best to find out before plugging it in and maybe killing the card.

well doesn't this suck, seems my newer pc doesn't have a serial or com port in the back, but my old ones (one of which is dead) they do.

could a really old pc do this ? probably not lol.

but so which port is used ? the serial ? the 9 pin one, or the com port ? like where u use to plug in a printer i think lol. that ones big.

9pin is serial & is coms // the printer port is LPT (parallel)

there's ways of converting, u can even convert usb to serial ~ but this needs to be run in dos so it's not driver based - can't believe com port have been dropped! very strange

just throw an old box together.. will cost you peanuts doesn't need any mustard .. it doesn't even really need a hd since the whole thing can be done of usb pen drive...

so an old pc couldn't do this ?

like one thats 10 years old ? lol.

oddly my old one still works. where as my 5 year old one died last year.

yes it could - it just needs a serial/com port
if it's 10years old & has no serial port that is very strange!

yeah man i meant my old pc's do have both serial & com ports. but my newer one of those is dead lol.

where as my newest one doesn't have either port.

anyway thanks man, i suppose the really old one would work then ?

and you use the com port for this process ? and you also need some rs adapter ?


i'm just curious about this, i probably won't be attempting it anytime soon though.

yep, the serial/com port will allow you to connect & dump the key

you need the RS232 interface (adapter) aswell to push it up the com port .. alittle bit of wiring & a touch of soldering (nothing heavy) to bridge the available but currently unlinked TxD & RxD connections on the drives mainboard

not sure who here is going to do it 1st because some of us are lacking the funds to purchase a unit just to flash & nothing else... I have all the equipment to pull it off just no drive. I think cofree has something in the works.
whichever way - you can bet whoever does it will take some pics & share details

I don't know for certain but I imagine it will not be too long before the extreme firmware follows either // so spoof option might not even be necessary

you can bet its under way.

im sure ive read it based on a benq firmware,so maybe sooner than later.

yea
my stuff is in the mail.
ill pick up a 360 as soon as it gets here.
after dumping the drive im going to spoof in a samsung just for kicks.
and
yes ill post all i can up.
you can bet.

i'm wondering what kinda solder gun is needed ?

how much does one cost ?

and also this rs adapter ? can u buy it in stores ?



anyway good luck guys, can't wait to see some pics and a good how-to.

any good soldering iron will work.
there not much around $20.00 usd
im sure you can get it in a store
i have just not looked i just ordered it off line.
