I was flashing Samsung with a new firmware, and i got it in Vendor mode nice and clean. Then spooffed key, save it and begin to write then JF stops answering and freezes.. Now drive won´t say a word, and doesn´t eject.

See pic...

EDIT: JF says "Drive type Un-determined"

I tried cycle around 5 times, then i tought it won´t help. I guess i have to try again and cycle it for more times. I also tried both ways, with tray closed, and because eject won´t work i opened tray manually.

Its impossible to brick a samsung mate, you just need to be patient and persistant with it. You also must have the via 6421a card or it will not work. I also always dosflash to unbrick my drives that JF will no longer recognise. When it asks you to resend the intro to the drive, click yes and power cycle immediatly after within a second of clicking yes. I find I get the best results doing it like this as Ive fixed probably a hundred samsungs this way.

Good luck

Okay, here again and this time with good news! This project was on a break for awhile. I bought VIA sata card, and got my self an old pc. I installed XP in it, and change my mod equipment to this Xbox feared machine... Everything finaly set to places with right circumstances. Now i manage to bring back to life 2x Samsungs, and replace old sammy with brand new Benq. So after all happy ending! :) Thanks everybody for help, again! :)

I did get both drives to work, but one had tray problem it didn´t open, coz it was damaged. That´s why it was replaced with Benq. Other one is working and ready for hard gaming.. BTW, and there was no errors durningn new flash, only the dots...
