Problems flashing liteon using jungleflasher

[richypat07]

Please help!

I have successfully read my liteon drive and when i erased the drive and power off/on the drive, the flash chip properties are now
vendor id : 0x90
Device id : 0x90
Name : unknown type
size : n/a
Type : serial flash with status 0x72

Then when i go to write it says "drive returned invalid status!"

If i go back to DVDKey 32 and clck get key, create dummy.bin, open as source it says no drive detected! DVDkey files extraction aborted!"

Please say my drive is recoverable.
:mad:

no its not knackered. just flash it in dos. provided you read it correctly and have created your custom firmware you wont have an issue.

mine hung in erase a few months ago as I didnt want to remove the via drivers.............use them for pc stuff.

create a bootable iso or usb with l-o-erase and dosflash plus your custom firmware

run l-o-erase and dosflash following the instructions.

You dont actually have to use dos to recover from a bad erase (via freeze) you can do it with jf, just reintro the drive using the device id button, wait for the dots ....... then power cycle as you see them, drive should return status 0x72 and show good flash chip properties.
It works, I have done many drives this way myself!

it was easier to explain and he didnt state whether he had via drivers installed...........if it worked thats the main thing. :)

I realize he did not state what card he had but I can tell you this, 9/10 times I see this error, it's a via card at the root of the problem, this is why the guide was written, so we can avoid users actually making the error before they flash their drive. BTW, it's a good idea to remove the drivers for the via card if you have a benq drive too, they behave much the same when a benq drive is erased.

not had the error myself with a benq i must admit. I too would recommend that the drivers are removed. For me its not practical as repair pc's. Use the sata card to read hard drives. Just as easy for me to pop into dos for the odd liteon rather than mess around with the drivers.

Bring back the old win 98 hardware profiles i say lol, so much for progress :O))

I've got a via chipset and did follow the guide to delete the driver but i didn't have said driver in the folder win32/drivers folder (off top of my head maybe wrong about location),

Thanks
