JungleFlasher update

JungleFlasher
JungleFlasher is developed in conjunction with Team Jungle in an effort to bring all 360 DVD‐Drive flashing functions together in one easy to use Win32 Application.
JungleFlasher provides several functions that up until now were carried by several different app's in both Dos and Win32.
The first tab you will see is the FirmwareTool 32 tab. In this window you can load firmware files. Jungle Flasher will parse the files, identify the firmware type and display relevant information such as the all important DVD key and OSIG strings etc... On the Target sub‐tab, MD5 hash checking of iXtreme firmware files is conducted to confirm authenticity. With both source and target files loaded, the relevant source data can be transferred to the Target ( a.k.a. Spoofed ), which can then be flashed to the target drive.
The next tab is DVDKey 32. This tab is used to extract info from Lite‐On - the undumpable drive. All unique information is extracted: DVD key, unique inquiry and identify strings and drive serial information. This info is stored in one easy to use file, ”Dummy.bin”. This is a 256kb file that mimics the approximate structure of a BenQ firmware file and is automatically loaded to the source sub‐tab in the FirmwareTool 32 Tab. Jungle Flasher v0.1.55b also brings the unique feature of dumping “Dummy.bin” from iXtreme flashed Lite‐On Drives solely using S‐ATA. There is also a facility to create a “dummy.bin” from previously extracted files, although fresh extractions should be completed where possible. Every effort has been made to make key extraction as reliable as possible. Multiple dumps are performed with comparison to account for the slightest chance that serial data may have become corrupt.
The Third tab is MTKFlash 32. You can use this tab to unlock Benq and Samsung drives and then dump the current flash for use in the source sub‐tab in Firmware Tool 32 tab. You can also erase a Lite‐On in preparation for flashing. All 3 drives can be flashed using this tab.
The last tab is Hitachi. As a Hitachi drive is flashed differently than the MTK based drives mentioned above, it has its own dedicated tab. Hitachi’s are flashed as a “Live” drive, on a sector by sector basis. This revision of JungleFlasher now incorporates full read and write access of Hitachi DVD Drives.
JungleFlasher is intended to be rich in information providing as much relevant and useful information as possible. On the DVDKey 32 and MTKFlash 32 tabs, all IO and COM port information is detected and displayed, as well as drive and device properties for the currently selected drive.
