Hi I have samsung Ms25 here, I do not know which firmware it as, so I tried everything in Jungle flasher guide, and still nothing, it does not go into vendor mode.

I am using x360 usb pro and the most recent jungle flasher.
I tried:
- Intro -> power cycle does not work
- Intro without power cycle does not work
- Activate.iso -> intro does not work
- Tray Half open does not work
- DeviceID Unlock / Vcc Trick (VIA/Nforce only) Stock + Modified Drives does not work
- Alternate method if you are struggling with the above does not work
- Badflash Recovery Using X360USB Pro of Samsung does not work
- Samsung Drives Using PMT or CK Probe 3 When normal bad-flash does not work


Anyone??? This never happened to me before

Have you tried another sata configuration such as via or the ich7 you listed

Edit just saw that you said your going to try this I have had a few issues with drives not wanting to go into vendor mode with x360 USB pro and changing it to via worked a treat

:facepalm:

I have scoured the web. I have done BenQ, 2 LiteON, and even this Sammy MS25 to LT1.9 and enjoyed the rewards. Now I am doing the 2.0 and latest dashboard. Being a good student that I am when learning as I always try to do I still use the JF tutorial in noob mode to ensure I catch every little thing.

The BenQ and 1 LiteON so far no issue - stock - dashboard to 13604 via USB and the LT+ 2.0 and all is good. The issue I am having now is that this Sammy which almost did the work on its own when I patched it to LT+1.9 will not enter vendor mode nor will it intro at all.

2 sata chipsets used nForce and now the Intel ICH which both read it perfectly and I get the "Verified" key icon lit up but when I try to intro it fails. status 51. I tried the activate iso with all sectors to L0. I tried the tray half ejected (matered this on the LiteON) and some random combinations best I got was status 80. :mad2:
EDIT: The sammy is LT+1.9 and still works fine to read al discs and the current dash is 12xxx currently.
Using a SATA connection and using XBOX power. Dont have USB360 cant afford one yet. I do have teamviewer (love it)

I could use some help for certain if anyone would be willing to lend a hand this evening. I am in PST time zone and would be available after work. I will be checking all day back to this thread and checking other web hits to see what I can find and make notes on.

Sorry for waking this thread back up but it is exactly as the original poster stated for me too.

TIA
