Swapping a Hitachi for a Lite-On

[cfghjkl]

Is it possible? If so how?

[cfghjkl]

any help at all?

Get the hitachi and lite-on's original firmware, use firmware toolbox to paste hitachi's key on lite-on's orig.bin, apply ixtreme on this, then spoof the firmware has original hitachi's model (59,..., 78, 79) on firmware toolbox. Flash this firmware on liteon. Always have a backup of the original firmwares. See guides for spoofing. Don't know if you need to have to extract the orig.bin from lite-on, maybe can be done by pasting the hitachi key on ixtreme's lite-on firmware.

Just use JungleFlasher's manual spoof option to do this task, firmware toolbox is no good to you as the current version does not handle liteon firmware at all.
You will need to use the ixtreme v1.5 liteon firmware as your source, seeing as how you cannot actually dump the drives original firmware at all.
Open jungleflasher, on the firmware tab hit the button 'open target firmware' and select the liteon ix15 firmware, then choose 'manual spoof' as your next option, select the hitachi model you are trying to spoof from there and copy you drive key into the firmware also, then just save it and flash to the liteon as you would normally.
I have spoofed a liteon as a hitachi 59dj in one of my own consoles and it works perfectly.
