LITEON DG-16D2S DVD Key Extracted without the Probe V3?

[aekramer]

Hey all, I recently got my new console from M$ after I send in my old for RRoD, anyway I just wanted to flash it in order for me to be able to play my backups again, lets get to the point:

When I click Phat Key I should place my probe on the point, then click next, etc.. But now this strange thing happend: it extracted the key without me having to do the probe thingy, is it because I used the X360USB Pro? As this is my first time using it on a PHAT console..

I just want to know if my key is correct and I dont end up with issues..

I've read about a few drives doing this.

As long as the drive key you have shows as verified (thanks c4eva!), you should be fine, but if you have any doubt, write a firmware to another Lite-On drive (containing your drive key) and test.

However, JungleFlasher key verification routines are similar (if not exact) to those that M$ perform if I understand correctly so your drive key should be correct.

If I continue, the popup message on LiteOn Erase says:

Those are security measures put in place to ensure you don't erase the drive without having the drive key.

If you have any doubt at all, test another Lite-On drive with the obtained drive key like I suggested in my previous post.

I can safely say that the drive key you were given is 99% legitimate (assuming you got the thanks c4eva! verification message in the log at the bottom).

Thanks, I tried it anyway, as I googled around and found out that this happens at drives that werent originally in the xbox, this could be due to I got a replacement from M$

J-F verifies the key when it retrieves it, so if it doesn't match you'd know about it.

For added clarification, right click on the source / destination firmware box and click 'verify key'.
