parse failed could mean a couple things

1. your drive is erased and there isn't a key on it anymore
2. your drive is messed up and needs to be parsed manual with a hex editor

post me a link to your firmware dump in PM, i'll see if i can find your key
but first, JF auto-extracts keys from samsungs when they are detected in JF
did JF ever do that for you?

what i mean by auto extracts is just that

when JF recognizes your drive (while in normal mode), it automatically extracts and adds sammy keys to its database

that being said, i'm looking at the fw now

i'd advise checking your key database from the firmware tab to see if JF ever automatically grabbed your key

The JF tut has come a long way in the few years since I 1st flashed my sammy m25. The JF tut was very easy to follow step by step and I didnt even need my old drive key. Followed the very easy to navigate JF tut. I 1st flashed from 1.61 to stock fw with via card then updated dash with usb then reflashed with the LT 2.1 onto my sammy m25. All works well now I just need a ihas burner and some verts.
