0225 drive froze during write, no flash chip properties after vendor mode

I recently Kamikaze'd a lite-on slim 0225, I am using my sata chipset at the moment which a jmicron 36x ( suppose to work ) I used a template and a drill and drilled until I got a status change ( which was 0xff then I stopped, waited a second and drilled a tiny tiny bit to get 0x00..

So I got the drive unlocked and then read the drive and got the dummy.bin, (I did this before I kamikaze'd the drive also.. So I tried to write the firmware to the drive and it froze in the process and so I had to turn off the drive because I had no other choice.

Now I get No drive detected in jungleflasher.. Also I was able to get it into vendor mode using mxp01 with a ground to pin, but when I am in vendor mode I get no flash chip properties so I can't flash or erase.. Since I read the dummy firmware after the kamikaze wouldnt the chip be fine..

Any help would be appreciated because I am stumped..

also the drive is still 0x00 when put into vendor mode

Thanks in advance

I bought one, its on the way, but would that solve the flash chip properties issue? only reason I didn't is because so many people said my jmicron was fine..

Btw, I support TX I have done about 30 RGH with cool Runners

U need a x360usb problem solved
Would that solve the flash chip properties issue? You think the drive is still ok?

Were you successful flashing other drives with this via card? Did you get no flash chip properties also after the freeze on the write?

If I can get it into vendor mode and its showing no flash chip properties.. I just don't know how a x360usbpro would fix that.. hmm
