Liteon DG-16D2S Erase/Flash Support Here! DONT think its a brick read first.

[prankster]

Hello, and again thanks for the speedy replies .

Yes, one of the problems is that I receive the message "Device Intro Failed!", however I think this is as a direct result of it being in "Status 0x51".
I'm using it via the computer's onboard SATA rather than a PCI card. Reading the key isn't an issue per se. I have my drive's key, and can obtain the "Lite_CFW" file from JF with relative ease. The problem is erasing the firmware and then writing the iXtreme firmware to it.

I'm quite lost right now, and am loathed to leave the drive sat in my PC for significantly longer for fear of physical damage. Anyone know how to get the drive to return status 0x72 rather than 0x51 as I feel this would allow me to Flash it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Oh, is that the problem? Does it have to be a PCI SATA card to do it?

It is dead easy to get status ox 0x72 with a liteon, here's how I do it :

When using liteon erase in jungleflasher I don't power cycle straight after I send the erase command, I wait a few seconds, the jf window goes blank and usually returns a status of 0x51, I power cycle then hit the device id button, always get status 0x72, I have done my liteons this way since jungleflasher was first released.
Make sure you are using v0.043, which is the latest public beta.
See if it works for you, I use my onboard sata, which is Nforce4.

If you still want to try using the dosflash method, I posted a tutorial I made (complete with screencaps) here :

Since you have already got your bin files (dummy.bin etc) then you can skip straight to the write, just give the whole tut a good read.

liteons are easy to flash in my opinion BUT you need an extraction device, IE...ck3 and probe, or Maximus Xtractor and spear, (without prode or spear for each device you will need to soder 2 contacts together, which are very small)

heres some tutorials with visuals:

ck3 method: http://team-xecuter.com/ck3/liteon_windows.htm

Xacuter method is exactly the same process except the little probe/spear looks different along with the main maximus device, but they work exactly the same.

I bought my maximus xtractor for $66 at foundmy.com.

It took me some time to get my machine working correctly with the drive and reading the keys properly. So not to self promot but please if you are going to spend the $66 and are very uneasy about this process pay the $40 and ship it to me I garuntee my work and have done over a dozen liteons.

If you choose to try yourself I will be more than glad to assist with any questions though of course.

thanks where are you located at?

[davym]

this is how i got it to work.
PC OFF
connect ck3 pro, switch OFF
connect sata, connect usb, connect probe.
PC ON, SWITCH OFF
start in windows, switch ON
use jungleflasher to read the key, oh and th mode must be BLUE (off )
eject tray, put half in ( look tutorial from jungle team )
so, read the key
spoof the key
and use DOSFLASH to erase and flash the drive.
and worked here.
Edit: don't forget to install the drivers !

[cyanarnofsky]

sorry for any confusion Saleem your correct thanks for that, would not matter about tray position for erase flash, I always just leave the drive untill everything is done (less chance something going wrong :P) but to anyone drive try only required for reading. But I ahve seen alot of problems with X51 status not returning with poorly erased consoles. Thats just what I have some accross.

wow great thread if i need any help flashing my new lite-on ill come here i just ordered an 360Xtractor Pro v1.2 with stronger fuses and a spear from foundmy cant wait!

[BeUndead]

Thanks for the advice on getting the 0x72 status Prankster. Unfortunately I never got to try out your advice as I appear to have bricked the bloody thing (the SATA port on the rear of the device has fallen into tatters).
Anyone know of where / how much I could purchase a pre-flashed drive that would work for my 360? I'm in North Yorkshire, England if that helps.
Once more I would like to thank you all for your responses, I'm sure they were all valid, it's a shame I couldn't get this thing going .

[saleem]

you will still need the info from the liteon.do you have it/them.

you need to have the key.bin at minimum with a valid key.preferably the inquiry.bin and identity.bin as well.

i have a liteon drive spare,i can flash it for you if you are interested message me.

[BeUndead]

Yes I do have the Key.bin Inquiry.bin and Identity.bin saved on my computer, along with the dummy file, and the Lite_CFW.bin.
I would offer to discuss this over PM, but I don't have enough posts to send them. How much would you like for this service?
And thank you for the speedy reply, you would be doing me a HUGE favour.

ok i have a problem with my lite-on, I used jungle flasher and extracted the key, it created the 4 files and saved them to my pc.

i used the dummy.bin to patch the ixtreme 1.5 firmware, looked ok

I then tried to erase the drive but it crashed half way through (intel sata chipset)

I then booted to dos, tried l-o-erase but no mater what i can not get it to return correct code to say it is erased.

I tried dosflash, it sees the drive, used liteon erase, looked good

I then used tosflsh to write the liteon_cfw.bin to drive, looked ok

put drive back in xbox, turn it on and i get an E66 error, contact customer support.

Any ideas or thought on how to fix?

Cheers very much,
Steven

[saleem]

sure you created the ixtreme15 correctly?

[OggyUK]

sure you created the ixtreme15 correctly?

E66 is Invalid OSIG, consoles expexts different drive string ID

im flashing a liteon using dosflash i made a homemade serial and extracted the keys and files everything seemed to go well. i then made a dummy bin verified it withdsdbfixer and made the hacked firmware after erasing. now before the flash i failed to power cycle. when i inserted a disc to test the 360 it wouldnt open it it just said opening. i then erased the firmware and rebooted and now the pc is not detecting my drive not in the post or in junglefalsher furthermore ive plugged everthing nback in and i get an e64 error and one red light
have i bricked it ive tried everything. what does this mean i have to buy a replacement drive ?what if my key files are no good how can i confirm the key is good
thanks for your help and i hope ive mentioned everything

[saleem]

all you need to do assuming that you have not done any damage to the drive is erase the drive and flash it.e64 is hardware error as in prob with drive.as long as you have not physicaly damaged the drive in any way you can just erase and flash it.

fozzieb
perhaps the e66 console cos he says he used the dummy.bin to patch the ixtreme,so it aint got all the info,ie:no key,no serial.this is why i am asking if he created it correctly.

[skasol]

I was lucky enough to have flashed my first lite on without too much hassle, I just followed these instructions only thing that wasn't clear to me was once I got the key which by the way took some time cuz I kept getting 0000000000 due to the drive not being half way close, which meant almost all the way for some reason, I tried to erase it nowhere on the guide does it say that the drive has to be close, so I kept trying to erase with the drive half way open and of course it wouldn't work until I decided to close it and everything after that was history, got my lite on drive working within one hour, not bad for my first one.

those are the instructions I follow.
