Liteon 74850c Dosflash keeps hanging on write

[pcmaczone]

Spent days trying to resurrect a botched Liteon 74850c and seem to be getting no where fast. Have looked at the various tutorials but not found anything that works yet.

Originally tried using Jungleflasher + Liteon iXtreme. Managed to get the identify, enquiry & key files and save my lite_cfw.bin file but that's as far as I can get.

Tried booting from a usb stick with Dosflash and l-o-erase and doing it that way. Can erase with l-o-erase and get f72 then try in Dosflash to erase and write but I get as far as Erasing ok!, Erasing finished! Writing bank 0... then it just hangs, every time I'm starting to think this could be something wrong with my firmware, corrupted maybe? if so what do I do? Like I said, I do have the identify, enquiry and key files but not sure how I generate a new firmware with them?

Any help would be greatly appreciate. Losing a LOT of time on this and it seems there is no end in sight By the way I am using a Via VT6421A SATA card. Odd thing about that though is I have read that it's best to use the port on the end of the card? I can't get any response via that port at all. The only way it seems to work is if I use the port on the faceplate.

well it dont matter what port you use as long as your pc sees the drive

you are close man
dont give up


at this point i would
flash in my firmware like doing a recover/restore
build your hacked firmware with jungle flasher
i would start over with a firmware build after making sure the you have a good key
also man dont trash any files save them all just in case
you dont want to lose something you may need later

then use iprep to flash in the hacked firmware
you will have to rename the hacked firmware for iprep to know to flash it in but that is what i would do

have a look over this vid

Thanks. That's the vid I have been trying to follow. One thing I'm not sure about though is how to build my firmware in Jungleflasher. I take it I build the firmware from the identify, inquiry and key files but how do you put those together into one file and end up with the hacked firmware file that you write to the drive?

man
im at work and dont have jungle on the pc
but
yes there is a way to manually build your firmware
by putting those files in
then i think you have it build a dummy.bin
then you input that as source and put your target firmware in
after you build that firmware then you get it ready to put in iprep
get and read over this
it should help
