I'm attempting to flash my Lite-On 0225 back to stock (currently it has LT+2.0) so I can flash to LT+3.0. I'm a little confused at the steps, so just wanted to confirm the process I'm thinking.

First off I just got the USBPro V2, so I'm all set for connectivity. I've also got my dummy.bin for flashing to stock.

1. Unlock drive (this went fine)
2. In the Firmware tab select my dummy.bin as the Source, and then select the Orig-0225.bin (from the LT package) as Target.
3. Spoof the Target with the Dummy and save the spoofed file.
4. Then in the MTK Flash 32 tab, Flashing Tasks Intro the drive with the Slim option selected.
5. Erase the drive (I've got the impression that the Lite-On Erase button shouldn't be used for 0225 drives, only for 16D2S drives)
6. Write to the drive.
7. Lock the drive
8. Upgrade dash

I'll tackle the LT 3.0+ when I finish getting this back to stock.

Anything glaringly wrong with what I'm thinking?

Thanks in advance!

I've attempted to do so using the "Return a LiteOn to Stock" link within the PDF of v1.4.4. I've followed the steps in spoofing the target bin. Then in the step where it indicates to "Proceed to erase and write" the instructions indicate "Erasing a Lite-On PLDS DG-16D2S". I've got a 16D4S and didn't know if that made a difference, I didn't see specific instructions for my model. In other posts I've seen the "Erase" and "Write" buttons used instead. (similar to how it's outlined in the section for flashing LT+)

So assuming the instructions are the same for erasing my 16D4S when I click on "Lite-On Erase" I get the message: "Firmware in Target buffer is not Lite-On"

My drive's labeled as a 16D4S 0225 so I assume the stock Orig-0225.bin I'm using is appropriate for the drive.

Didn't you do a full stock dump of your firmware before writing LT2.0 to the drive? if not why not? if so just unlock your drive, load the stock then hit write. The liteon erase button is for "phats" not slims.

Someone else had flashed LT2.0 for me. All I received from them is the Dummy.bin and not the original FW. I had assumed I could spoof the stock FW using the Dummy.bin I have for the drive.
