Liteon 74850c - Jungle Flasher Tutorial

[barelynotlegal]

ahhh. thanX man that goosebumps down my arms. lol but seriously thanX man. yeahlike the moster said, badflash,sounds like it wasnt spoofed. no worries though as the new JF you can just hook the drive up.......(like modmonster said)
if still having probs hit me with a PM.

 

[modmonster]

Thanks for your post. I always tick the dummy.bin box. Then I manually save the key and CFW after the key has been copied over. But at the end of the day, everyone has a slightly different slant on flashing, you just do what you have to do to get to the end result.
For example, for some reason I can't flash in windows 7. Each time I try I get a bit further. Last time I got everything working except hitachis. So I just went back to XP.
anyway, good luck with your modding, glad we could help you.

New releases of JF at same time as FW is released - generally include the autoload for the latest fw! (just one of many reasons to use latest JF ALWAYS!)

balls. i got the open tray error and didnt remove the ribbon, im doing the flash for a friend. do i need to buy a new drive? >.< when i try to run games i says wrong region.

 

[modmonster]

So is it saying 'wrong region' or 'open tray'?
Two different things.

1. If it says wrong region, try some other discs, ones you knew that worked before. Clear the xbox system cache: System Settings - Memroy - Clear Cache. Or Flash back to stock and see if it works. Check the ribbon cable to see if its damaged.

2. If it's open tray error, I'd remove the ribbon and check to make sure its not damaged, Flash back to stock and see if it works. Make sure you dont damage the ribbon and make sure you put the ribbon back correctly.
If it is a ribbon issue, you can buy a new laser, which maybe the bit thats gone.
If so, mrmodchips.co.uk will have what you need, but Id try option 1 first.

 

[daydie]

"Wrong region" ive tryed a diffrent ribbon, and the same happends, i cant attach the drive to my PC, it doesnt read the drive when i turn the CK3 on.

 

[modmonster]

You still need to answer my last question.
Is it saying Wrong regeion or is it saying Open Tray?


To be honest at this point without that information and your last statement about the drive not being seen inJungleflasher, it just sounds like a bad flash. This happens sometimes and when you reconnect your xbox dive, the computer doesnt see it.
Theres at least two soloutions you could try:-
Can you remember which port the drive was originally on? This port is on the DVD Key 32 tab in jungleflasher. I/O Port. Its possibly on the same one as when you flashed it, but if you can get the same port, even if it the drive isnt seen, you can still get it into vendor mode.
If your sure you have the correct Port I/O then hit the Liteon Erase and follow the instructions on screen, this should allow you to get into vendor mode, you can then load your original or Modified firmware and flash it again.

The other way is a Tutorial of TeaJunkies which can be found here:-

ok your a legend, ive now found the drive, i tested all VIA ports n found it. i have installed the same Firmware again and its done the same, cant find drive. ive re-installed a lower firmware version which is 1.60 IX Repack. and now its working.

the firmware i was trying to use was the latest LT IX , why doesnt this work? im using the 1.1 version. i spoofed correctly but didnt work.

You were using the correct fw for your drive weren't you?

redownload the FW, place it into the firmware folder in jungleflasher, load your dummy.bin as source and let JF autoload 1.1 (ensure you are using the latest JF ie 1.73)

 

[modmonster]

Hmm, dont know.
So, do we have an xbox that is working again now?
If so, at least that takes a little pressure off you.

Are you sing the latest version of Jungleflasher currently 1.73 (as of 6th April 2010?)
I cant really see why it wont let you install 1.1 other than that.

So two quesions:-
Using the latest JF?
Is the xbox working?

 

[daydie]

ah, problem solved. i wasnt using the latest JF, i was using 1.7.0 (got from your download page) 1.7.4 works perfectly

thank you both for your help guys. aprichated.

 

[modmonster]

Success! Nice One.

As a side note to anyone else reading, If your using JungleFlasher or iPrep or anyother third party software, always source or check the latest version from their website.

Guys here are often busy helping people and it's not always possible to keep tutorials etc up to date.

When it comes to these so called connectivity kits and the likes, do I really need one? The thing is that I currently have a probe that is used in conjunction with a CK, but only the probe. So what I can't seem to find any information about is whether or not I can read the key from my 74850c-drive using only the probe.

Would this be possible if I used the 360 itself to power the drive, some way to power the probe other than the ck, and then have my drive hooked up to my computer using a SATA-port?

 

[modmonster]

You can power the drive with the 360, but its a ball ache when your powercycle. In terms of ck3 and probe, the ck3 Pro provides rs232 and USB. So if you need to probe for the key, it's not just a case of powering the probe, you also need to get your key which is done via the USB or rs232. The ck3 (not pro version) gives just rs232 option, if you want to reduce costs.
Without a conectivity kit of somekind, I don't know how you'd read the key.

 

[BGAMods]

youcould always bridge the r707 if you dont wantto pay the money but id fully advise that its worth getting the ck3 and probe bundle from modtraders.co.uk

 

[Martin3912]

yes
bridging works good

 

[BGAMods]

its the onlyway to do it without probing or installing a lt switch. i hate this method myselfbut thats my personal opinion, im not even much for the probe v1 now ive had a go on the probe v2. what a product.

 

[manno]

please somebody help me...! i lost my "lite-on" drive Serial, so how can i flash my drive....
