Hi all, I have a very strange problem that I can't seem to rectify and searching hasn't really brought up anything, after hours I've still not been able to successfully flash LT3+ onto my liteon drive because it appears to fail exiting vendor mode, after I click liteon erase, it gives a successful code but when I try to outro it gets hard to explain, jungle flasher just says sending request, nothing after that and the drive becomes undetected, if I click lighton erase again on the port I know the drive is on, the drive appears again after getting the successful 0x72 code and says "in vendor mode!", but once again, I click outro, JF says sending request, pauses a few seconds then the drive disappears, as if the firmware has been messed up.

I have some experience in flashing as I successfully flashed a Hitachi in the past using JF but this liteon just won't stop bringing me problems.

The tools I've used are the CK3 Mini and Probe V3

Stupidly I don't have a JF log, as since the failed attempts I've at least managed to restore the drive to it's original self and DVD Key so it's as if It's never been messed with, I want to try and figure out what keeps going wrong before trying again as I am worried about really messing up and getting a completely unrecoverable drive, does anyone have any experience it what might be wrong? thank you

Are you using the x360USB Pro or the V2?
Not using any kind of usb/sata tool, I'm just connecting it directly to my PC's sata slots, I'm guessing i'll need either x360USB pro or a via sata card for it to work properly? It was my first thought when it kept failing. :)

EDIT: I was hoping it wouldn't be an incompatability issue with my motherboard as I'm unable to buy anything right now but if it is, I'll see about getting x360USB when I can.

USBPRO is the best thing I have ever bought. If mine broke I'd be devistated!

If I can give 1 bit of advice it would be to invest in one. Saves soooooo much hassell and stress.
