ANSWERED 02510c flashing problem

[Connor Kenway]

my chipset that came with my computer reads my drive, it says my drive is dg-16d2s

so my sata chipset works right?

and unfortunately i cant flash my drive right now because i have to order a ck3 probe pmt conversion cable then i will be able to, and i dont want it to come and find out something with my chipset is gonna work..

 

[Connor Kenway]

is it because im using the ck3 probe 1..?

 

[reefz3ro]

you need to have a switch on the 3.3v wire of the power cable that goes to the dvd drive.

I assume that the probe 1 should work. I know that my mini probe from my ck3 blaster works.

 

[frayed]

you either need a probe v3, a PMT, a probe 3 conversion cable, or convert your 1 to a 3

tutorials/info is here, just have to find it

Or just buy the conversion cable

[Connor Kenway]

also under the com port nothing was displayed is it because i wasnt using the via6421a chipset?

 

[reefz3ro]

how where you hooking the drive up to the computer. if your lucky your onboard sata chipset could work. Really tho just make your life easy and get a usbpro you wont regret it , its worth every penny spent!

 

[Connor Kenway]

no im not buying the 360usbbro can someone link me with a cheap pmt conversion cable that accepts paypal payments?

 

[reefz3ro]

pmt conversion will not help you with an incompatible chipset.

if you have a probe1 all you need to do is add a switch to the 3.3v like I said earlier and follow the JF tut.

 

[Connor Kenway]

how do i know if i have a incompatible chipset, it reads the drive fine but it doesn't show anything under the com port on jungleflasher

 

[reefz3ro]

not knowing your setup I would guess it is on an I/O port it would be 0xXXXX (replace the X's with numbers), you said the drive shows up in drive properties? if it does then your chipset is compatible id it was not compatible it would say drive not detected, but there is still a chance that JF will freeze up when you go to write to the drive

 

[Connor Kenway]

no one knows why nothing is displaying under the com port? my chipset reads the drive fine but nothing is displayed under the com port..

 

[jsinger47]

Why do you care about com ports? They are not relevant

In the case of a spelling error, I blame Tapatalk.

 

[Connor Kenway]

oh i thought something had to be displayed under com port in order for the flashing process to work correctly.

hey im from grand rapids too.

and yeah it reads my drive is dg-16d2s

so my sata chipset works right?

and unfortunately i cant flash my drive right now because i have to order a ck3 probe pmt conversion cable then i will be able to, and i dont want it to come and find out something with my chipset is gonna work..

Well, you could always make your own PMT probe.. all it is is a switch on line 6 of the DVD power cable, and a ground wire.

Here's a tutorial for an easy, reliable PMT probe: http://tinyurl.com/9z7n3kp

i didn't ask about anything with a ck3 probe .

 

[jsinger47]

i didn't ask about anything with a ck3 probe .

you should have

Bro your just not getting it! he is telling you what I told you from the beginning, if you add a switch to the 3.3v wire of the probe 1 dvd power cable you will have just made a pmt conversion cable! I think you should read the links people have given you about the making a PMT with the equipment you already have and using the method for key retrieval.

 

[Connor Kenway]

i understand that, you explained it much better but, what im wondering is if my chipset is compatible, it reads the drive fine. nothing is suppose to be displayed under com port right?

 

[reefz3ro]

if it reads your drive then it is compatible, but as I said earlier just because it reads your drive and it shows up does not mean that you wont experience problems with the whole process like it freezing when you write the firmware to the drive. All I can suggest is make the conversion cable and try flashing your drive it will either work or it won't I cant tell you that.
That is something you will have to find out on your own, and if it does not work get a usbpro then it will work FACT.
