You should be able to write once it is in Vendor mode.

I loaded jf 1.88, Clicked DVDkey 32, Selected usb ports only, ticked dummy.bin only and hit the phatkey button.

I then followed the instructions on screen using the probe 3, this gave me a dummy.bin file in a folder.

I also have a Lite_CFW.bin file in this folder aswell.

My next steps were following the instructions jf gave me to flash to LT2.0, i then went to Lite-on Erase then Intro/Device ID/Write.

It's at this point that something has gone wrong.

Please tell me - why on earth did you go through the whole Probe 3 thing again when you only updated your drive a couple of days ago? Surely you had the key from that time already?

Is there any change you screwed something up when getting the key, like the probe slipping or you probing the wrong point?

I thought you had to probe each time you updated the firmware, sorry i guess i was misinformed.

nope the key extracted fine, noting slipped and i probed the right point.


it wont let me write, just comes up with unknown flash type write aborted!

For future reference, you can re-use the same dummy.bin from a Lite-On and there is no need to re-probe each time. Have you tried things on a different computer?

I've managed to get it working, i did it by clicking the lite on erase, then the outro/intro, this after a few attempts brought everything back working onto the drive,

it enabled me to write the flash to the drive and perform the outro,

now lets see if xgd3 work :biggrin:

Thank you so much for all your help
