Gecko 1.17 Released, Winbond Unlock Support
Gecko 1.17 has been released along with Winbond Unlock Support A man built it... a man cracked it... after months of trial and error and several weird methods; a Huge and Impressive effort in the tests. Geremia has made public the Kamikaze Winbond Unlock.
We will not lie, this is not for noobz! Many drives have died in these tests which arrived at the method you will see in the video. But with all that, it’s the easiest method we can provide now. We delayed the (by now old) Macronix trick while we worked on this WINBOND trick to make as easy as possible. Full notes and comments of Geremia can be found here.
We released Gecko 1.17 which can handle The Winbond Unlock method, you will appreciate the possibilities put into the unlock on your Workbench with a small standalone device like Lizard powered from usb-ac adapter instead of having to have a PC near for this particular job.
Full tutorials are being written and will be posted with-in the next 24 hours, but meanwhile we have prepared a small video of how to unlock the Winbond with the Kamikaze method using Lizard (Require Gecko 1.17)

Gecko 1.16 Released, New Tool Trident MX and Slim Liteon Full Firmware dumper !
We are proud to announce the release of Gecko 1.16 we have done tons of internal changes on it but the most important are 2 new features:
Support for a new Tool in the Maximus product range: Trident MX. This small tool will make a unlocking of the Slim Liteon with Macronix SPI a breeze. (Compatible with Lizard and JungleFlasher)
Also included is a new awesome feature: The Full Dump of Slim Lite-on DG-16D4S. (Full credit of this goes to Geremia for the tarablinda application). Due to the new 0225 variants discovered, we strongly recommend get a full dump of your drive before flashing it whenever you can (in order to be able to full dump you require the board has its SPI Flash Unlocked)..
Full Specification of Trident MX:
Trident MX by Team-maximus (AVAILABLE TODAY !!!)
We have this design produced long time ago, we were waiting to release in package with Winbond solution but due to the the latest leaks on the Macronix method we have choosen to release as is. It is Based on the Macronix Power trick , we have created a professional, safe, simple to use, and reusable tool.
The Trident MX tool will Unlock the Write-protected Lite-on Slim drives DG-16D4S that comes with a Macronix internal SPI Flash. Until recently locked drives where only found in the firmware’s 0225, 0401 and 1071, but the latest dashboard update (2.0.13599) has locked the 9504 drives with 0272 firmware, The Trident MX is a MUST have in your arsenal of weapons.
Combined with the POWER of Maximus Lizard (Gecko 1.16 and above) and in a few days supported by Jungleflasher, this is the perfect tool to do the job professionally and without hassle.
Forget about tricking the drive with unsafe methods of picking and choosing different resistors; We have an adjustable trimmer installed (Ships pre-set to proper value for optimum performance). There is no need to run a complex application to do the Macronix Unlock - Maximus Lizard does the magic for you.
The Trident MX is a tool designed for pro-modders but will be loved be even by the newest Modder !!
