I've had a few drives lock up in JF while I was flashing them, and thus far the dosflash fix has been successful, however this time I'm being hit with an error of sorts I haven't seen before. Here's all the information being given to me:
0xEC00 Sata Pri Master Atapi No Identify Possible
Flash Manufacturer ID:0xFF, Device ID:0xFF
Flash Type Unknown
Flash Size: 0 bytes
Then when I go to write the firmware to the drive, I get the message:
Unknown Flash Chip
I can't seem to figure out what I might be doing differently than before. Might anyone know what this message could mean?

Re: Issue with the fix after the JF lockup with a liteon drive
It looks like the drive has been erased, then froze after it's been polled...
I can only assume you've got a good dump of the key. If you have try to erase, then flash again. You need to get a status of 72 to get the drive to flash correctly.
If you can't get this from Windows, you'll have to add LOE to the root of an Iprep flash (Lite-On-Erase is available in the 1.5 ixtreme firmware pack) and run that from the prompt. Usage is l-o-e (port number), you may need to try it more than once to get it to report 0x72

And if at first you don't succeed..? Order the damn card!

Thought I'd update. I'm not sure why it worked, but apparently all I needed to do was wait for the computer to boot into DOS before powering on the drive. I never had to do so before, but will definitely keep this is mind in the future.
Thanks for the help though!
