Flashing a Lite-On

[nufcmickey]

Oh my god this is great help Haggard, The pics are perfect too nice 1. Ive been looking around today for the Lite one in the above pic and found it for 29 pound including the P+P brand new, well its 23 quid but 24 hrs delivery is 6 quid or something which is good. I will be getting it next week as Ive just started up a Pay Pal account aswell today and have to wait 3-5 days for them to deposit a pound into my bank account to verify or something. I will have to get the drive from Ebay then aswell. I know im saying or have been saying ill be keeping the Liteon how it is for 3 month but I know what im like as soon as I get the CK3 ill want to do it right away, You know the score man !

I think I know everything now mate many thanks, Ill bookmark this page now so I can refer to your pics if need be, Oh and yeah when I flashed the benq before I always unplug the long serial from my HD, I unplug these other leads aswell just like the multi coloured one you showing in the pic, I know it attaches to the HD and theres another white connection on it not being used so maybee this is it right ? I thought the power came from the molex serial connection, Never mind ill figure it out im sure and could I kindly ask if I get stuck with anything is it ok to give you a shout ?

So take Care Haggard mate and thanks for your awesome help.

The first2 pics didnt seem to work, but here is the link: http://team-xecuter.com/ck3/features.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

look at the lite pic's

I guess since your using iprep, you dont need your HDD to be powered so perfect. You can use the molex connector from your HDD.

As for paypal, if you have online statements thats perfect, you can check the paypal name and number that charged you and use that to activate your account. If not, you have to wait for the next statement to be mailed to you. I had to wait a month, it was kind of a pain.

Cheers mate,

Ive found a website by looking on the team executer site, Its called CK3.co.uk and theres a CK3 lite on there for 22 pound and 6 pound P+P, well alltogether the checkout says 29 pound so will deffo be getting that one, Ill be phoning the bank tomorow aswell to see if that pound from Pay Pal has gone in then I can go verify the account.

The yellow, Black and red wires going into the HD what I uplug when flashing, are these the ones that plug into the CK3, Like Im sure they have white see through plastic connections on them, Theres one going into the HD and another plastic one further along the same wires not being used, So this willbe for the power to the 360 drive right ? I watched some more vids on flashing with a CK3 and he shows doing all updates first in the CK3 control panel, But he was using USB and he clicked find USB ports or something, My question is what will I do see as though ill be using Serial ? He was using JF aswell but Im still abit hesitant on using that as Ive never done with it before, Id rather just stick to whats worked to be honest.

Thanks again !

CK3.co.uk is a good site, lots of uk users buy from them. If for whatever reason you break your ck3, they offer to repair it for 9 pounds, which is a very good deal.

Yes those are the power connectors. They can come in any color, mine have black plastic, not clear. Your hard drive is IDE so that is without a doubt the right type of power connection. You would stick that into the clear plastic molex connector on your ck3.

You should try powering down your computer, and rearrange the power connections so you have a free molex connection close to the outside of your case. If thats not possible, you can buy a molex extender from your local computer store, theyre like 3.00 USD (link for pounds)

I guess in your case your using iprep so you dont need your HDD powered, you are not using it. You can just take the molex power from it, and power your ck3 with it. If you ever want to use JF to flash you will need your HDD to be powered, so you will need to use the other free connection you have.

Also, yea I agree with you, why change something that works? I use jungle flasher 1.51 beta. I downloaded it when I started flashing, and have never had any problems, so I havent updated... I hear of lots of people having trouble with the newer versions of JF + lite-on's

[nufcmickey]

Yeah same here that was the other thing that puts me off trying JF coz of all those ive read about who have had it freeze up on them after the erase. Ive used Iprep about 4 times since the first time I ever done it and its all been good, I did have 1 problem the second time but Dalecheesy got it back in its original state for me, Then I just reflashed it, It was my fault though so would of went smooth other than that.

Im not sure if there is a spare HD power lead you know, Ive never looked proper as whenever ive opened the side panel I just unplug all leads from HD which is right there soon as I slide off the panel, But when Im unplugging the wires I always have to remember which Molex lead it was coz theres 2 plastic bits on the same lead, So yeah Ive never actually looked for another lead or is this the spare one ?

When you say you need to get the molex connection closer the outside, Mine is right at the front when ive slid off the side panel, The HD is near the bottom at the front, Do you mean get an extension and get one of those metal things so it sticks out the back so I can plug stuff in the back ? I think it will be ok how it is cozs the panel slides off easy and everything I need to unplug or plug is all more or less in the same spot, well for the Serial connection for the SK3 is on the back but apart from that it should all be good, Im feeling quite confident now I can do it thanks to yourself and the website of course, Without the website id know nothing about this, Honestly ive leaned alot from here.

Anyway Haggard the biggest of thanks and ill keep ya posted about how I get on when I get the stuff, Maybee you could help me if I get stuck when Ive got it all, Ill be on here during or after the project, LoL.

Take it Eazee man !

Yea ill be here to help whenever.

Well My molex connectors will only reach to about the end of my case. The power cables I use have sata & ide power connectors on them. My HDD is sata, so I have a free IDE power supply on either side of my HDD, but it doesnt reach very far, I have to have my ck3 inside my comp connected to the power, then have everything reaching out.

I bought a 9' molex extension cable so I have more room to play with... If you look at the connection after the one plugged into your HDD, look to see if it is 4 wires (yellow black black red) or if its 5 (orange black red black yellow) and a little thinner...

If its 5 wires, and thinner thats sata power, if its 4 wires and the same as the one currently in your HDD, I would switch them. Plug the one that is not currently in your HDD into it, and then have the one that used to be in your HDD just sitting free. That way it will be in a perfect position for use.

With JF, most people freeze because they did not disable their drivers. When your in iprep, the drivers for your via card are not loaded (you have to boot windows for them to be loaded) so there is no freezing.

I prefer JF, because I can plug in a drive flash in 2 mins, unplug it and continue with my internet browsing or whatever im doing. No need to reboot etc... But its all up to what you feel comfortable with.

That was the idea I was wrapped up in with Jungle Flasher when I first started having idea. The fact you dont have to mess around logging in and outa windows, I probs would of been using that aswell if I cou7ld get it to work but kept giving me those errors you posted pics of earlier so I watched Cofrees vid over and over again and even wrote everything down he was doing, I was really worried probs like most people are the first time. Saying that now you mention about dissabling the drivers and stuff I wouldnt know how to do that either, Is it just a click of one button or alot of chew on ?

Yer ill have a look in the PC tomorow and see what the crack is as its almost 2am now gonna be hitting the scratcher soon. Ill have to refer back to this post so I know what to look for, I have an idea like. I carnt wait till I get a CK3 kit mate honestly coz then ill know I will never have to be stuck again, Im bored stupid I want it so bad I keep thinking to get it before the drive but I know deep down thats not the sensible thing to do, if I break it I have nothing without a warranty either, If I get the drive first Im safe.

Ill let ya know 2moro matey ok to see what those wires are, Nite mate !

[HaGGardSmurf]

Well disabling is as easy as going into device manager (right click my computer, then go to manage then click device manager) then looking for 'raid controllers' and right clicking your via card and clicking disable. From there you can either rename the original driver, to viamraid.sys.backup or something to that effect. Then go back in device manager, and re-enable it, and reboot your computer. Now if you look in device manager you will have a yellow exclamation mark on the icon for your via card.

None of that matters if your using iprep, but if you want to give JF a go, its almost a must to disable your drivers.

haha it was such a pain when I had to wait for my via card when I first began flashing. I felt the same way you do now, didnt know what to do with myself, each day I checked the mail, and sure enough nothing... Then finally when it did come it took me about a day to get a handle on what drivers to install, to disable them or not etc..

[nufcmickey]

LoL, so then with me using Iprep can you explain what I need to do from receiving the CK3, Well I think I know now how to set it all up, Know how to flash and stuff but what about when I first get the CK3 what do I need to do in terms of installing drivers for it and stuff, will it come with a disc with all drivers on or will it plug and play and will it auto detect what drivers it needs ? and do I need to enable/dissable anything with the windows drivers for it to use. Like the vid Ive downloaded from You Tube shows him querying the ports and stuff and something about the drive on the list to look for is PDLS or something, do I still need to do all this with me using iprep as he is using JF in the Vid, Ive try to figure out what Cofree does with it all in his tut but its just basically the flash he shows, Could anyone on here you think can upp a quick vid tut on the set up of the CK3 and iprep/JF and as far as installing the drivers and stuff. That would be great !

I know mate Im sick as hell, I loved Fight Night 4 but I think im about sick of the sight of it now, LoL. I keep searching the net if theres any way at all to flash this Lite On with the tools I have, LoL. Well least once I get all the kit ill never have to go thru all this mallarky again eh mate ?

Im guessing your in the UK are you Haggard ? coz I check on here the next day to see if theres been a reply overnight thinking you may be from the U.S but its always during the day so im guessing so.

Take Care man !

[HaGGardSmurf]

haha im from canada, im in GMT -7 time zone, but I dont have anything to do this entire month, and next month really, so I am up pretty much up all the time and on the site

Sadly not many house partys nor many people wanting to go to the bar, everyone's on vacation

Anyways, when you get the ck3, go here: http://team-xecuter.com/ck3/downloads.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and download the ck3 tool, then install the usb drivers (this is if you are going to every try JF)

Thats all, and if you dont think you'll ever use JF to flash a lite-on you dont have to install the drivers.

[nufcmickey]

Right so at the moment when I get it ill be getting the lite one from CK3.co.uk so I can use the serial for iprep, maybee in future I will eventually use JF so now I know I need to go to the website and get all the drivers. So coz im getting the lite one and using the serial with iprep what do I do then ? Just plug it all in and thats it ? Will that bubble pop up saying detected new hardware and auto install the necessary drivers and stuff ? Coz when I get it I will just plug it all in so its all set up but not too sure about from there if I go straight into iprep and do the read and flash.

Oh right yeah im the same am not working right now so basically bored stupid, Hovering back and forth between 360 and PC, Imagine how boring that is, LoL. I need this benq drive quick, or that CK3 but wont have me money till next week so Im thinking of just getting a drive from that UK guy on ebay, They have like a car stereo shop addy on their ebay page and the drives are 28 pound with free P+P, coz if I got the cheap hong kong ones ill have to wait for ages, I dont think I could bare it much longer mate. Im typing pound instead of a pound sign coz I got this keyboard from a relative barnd new and its foreign but its got glowing blue lights behind the keys and cool features so am just using it anyway, I have dollar sign but aint a clue with that, LoL. Yer where the pound sign usually is on english keyboard theres a dollar symbol on key number 4. Sorry bout that man.

Take Care !

[HaGGardSmurf]

Oh you bought the lite? Ok, never mind. The lite does not have a serial USB port. No need to install drivers.

When you have it hooked up through rs232 in iprep you will get no hardware pop up. The pop up is part of windows XP, you are not running xp at the time of flashing.

haha yea im bored as hell too... I quit my last job a while ago to concentrate on school (it was my last year and I had my diploma exams... Which are tests worth 50% of your overall mark) so I pretty much have nothing to do, pretty broke too, my main source of income is flashing xbox drives haha!

Yea you may aswell get the one from the UK guy. I waited 12 days for my drive (think it was about 8 working days) if there was a seller that sold for around the same price, but in the US, or canada, I would have bought from them.

[nufcmickey]

No mate Ive not ordered the stuff yet coz still waiting for Pay pal going through, But you said if im using Iprep which I will be then I carnt use USB and will need the lite and use the serial, It dont matter like Im happy either way but I will deffo be using iprep. Thats right yer I wont be in windows but I thought the pc would still need the drivers so it can recognise the hardware, so I can just plug it straight it using the serial port, Log into iprep and it will read the key ok yeah ? I know where im probing aswell so I think ive got everything now, Should be pretty easy really, Even just having a CK3 will give me a buzz, LoL coz I never in a million years thought id ever know how to do this, I remember a couple of year ago I was aking loads of people if they knew anyone who did it, I couldnt find anyone. But even now I tell people I can do it but I dont think they trust me, LoL.

I hope your exams go well mate, Would you kindly help me when ive done everything and if anything goes wrong, I mean will it be ok to give you a shout, should be fine like but just incase.

Thanks man and take care ! Oh and yer I think I will get the drive from the UK people coz Ive always been the type of person I carnt wait to get something, Even if im leaving myself skint I still end up getting it, LoL or are just all men like that I know its an extra 10 pound but least ill have it next day eh !
