I had a liteon freeze up on me today, and I was able to recover it with Jungleflasher.
I figured I should post up the info since this problem is really common. I had all of the drivers uninstalled and it still happened to me.

If you can power your drive on without your PC freezing up, then this should work for you. If your PC does freeze up then you need to check out Cofrees video tutorial on recovering it in DOS.

So anyway it's pretty basic...
You hook up your drive, power it on.
Open Jungleflasher.
Go to firmware tool 32 tab
Load your dummy into your Source firmware
Let Jungleflasher autoload iXtreme into your target firmware
Go to the MTK Flash 32 tab.
Select your I/O port. It won't detect your drive.
Click Intro/Device ID it will detect a flash chip
Follow the prompt to power your drive off and on
Then in drive properties it should read "Drive in vendor mode"
Click Write
and that's it.

If it doesn't work the first time, I'd suggest you connect everything up, and restart your computer with the drive powered on, and go through the same steps.

if you try this post back
so other will know how it went for you

good post man

I've also found that if that doesn't work hitting liteon erase will throw it back into vendor mode. Jungleflasher has been freezing up on me more often, and this has worked 100% of the time. It doesn't always work the first time, but usually after a restart with the drive plugged in it'll go for me.

Just get Status 0x80

nice post man very good

dont use the sata via set...you have a better chance with the onboard sata not freezing up then the card.....when i bricked my liteon i just throw it away...but i didn't know what i knew now...

i locked a drive up yesterday. i used dosflash 32 to bring it back to life.

Great post.

wow thanks alot I have never had any problems with the light on drives until I went from vista to windows 7 and the first light on I did with 7 got the light on freeze and this worked perfect saved me 50 dollars from having to buy a kit to flash in doss this should be added in are Tutorials very good post

Thanks man, nice little tut.

My liteon had frozen (cause error 64 in xbox) and i was just about to go the dos way when i found this thread. My 74 liteon was NOT freezing up xp so i gave it a shot. No drive detected on port, had fw loaded and hit intro and it came up with the "power on /off 1 second" dialog and i noticed in the background it had detected the flash chip at status 0x80. so i hit yes and quickly powered on and off using my 360extractor and voila! status 0x72. Flashed and tested it all works great.

So thanks again for saving me the dos hassle and having to reburn a ntfsdos disc. and to the GUY ABOVE ME, im pretty sure you dont need to purchase anything extra for dos method.
