Here's how to recover your Liteon drive if your PC freezes during the erase process. You are not screwed and your drive is not bricked. It just has no firmware on it. This is why it wont eject. Follow these instructions to fix your drive.



Step 1: Disconnect the drive from your computer [SATA & Power] and turn your computer on like normal. If using a connectivity kit you should just be able to leave it off.

Step 2: Open up JungleFlasher and click on "Open Source Firmware", select the dummy.bin from the drive that seems to have died.

Step 3: Click on "Open Source Firmware", and open up the iXtreme Lite-On firmware[you can also click yes when it asks you to auto-load the firmware, at the end of step 2 -- if you have the firmware in the "firmware" folder of JungleFlasher]. Then click "Spoof Source to Target", and then click "Save to File", name it "liteon.bin" and save a copy somewhere you can easily access, you'll need it in the next step

Step 4: You can now close JungleFlasher. Download L-O-Erase & Dosflash 16. Create a bootable USB drive. You can also create a bootable SD card with a usb adapter. Place L-O-eras, Dosflash,Dosflash.typ and your created liteon.bin file on the bootable USB drive.

...The Following steps may be easier if you disconnect all other drives...

Step 5: Restart your computer leave the drive DISCONNECTED, and boot to the USB drive. Connect and power on the Liteon drive. Type "dosflash". It will show you one drive but it won't tell you what the name of it is, like the rest of them will. It should also have a 256KB Flash Size. the 4 numbers/letters right the word "SATA" are your drives port, remember that or write it down. Hit escape.

Step 6: Type l-o-eras ____. The blank space is replaced with the port you found in Step 5. [Ex: if your port was ECF0, you'd type l-o-eras ECF0, all 1 line. You will have to do this a couple times. until it gives you a status of FF72.

Step 7: Power the drive off then back on, and type dosflash. Type in the number of your Liteon drive from the list. NOT THE PORT NUMBER!!! (for me it was 4)

Step 8: Type "w" for the write option and enter "liteon.bin" and hit enter. Wait until it says it is complete.

You should be good to go. Turn the drive off and on and hit eject. If it ejects the drive is done.

Great post, stickied it!

Thanks for the tuto. The samething happened to me this night. With this, I was able to recover it (and flash the LT firmware at the same time). Everything is working fine now, no more activation disc for the wave 4 games!!! wohoho

Great post. This is what happened to me last year when flashing to 1.51. I unbricked my drive using that method, but that PC freez damaged my hdd drives, had to reformat everything because partitions were corrupted and nothing was able to fix it.

Thank you so much, I thought I had bricked my DVD Drive until I came across this. Using DosFlash and L-O-eras is so much easier and quicker than using JungleFlasher in Windows.

jungleflasher is good, but it's more stable on 32bit Windows than on 64bit. I had no problems flashing my old Benq with the 1.51 fw on WinXP 32bit

i tried to update my ixtreme 1.6.1 whit jungleflasher flashed it and write verified OK! but when i put my lite-on 748 drive to my xbox and test it wont regonize anything no dvd or game... mtk flash 32 dont want to find it...? its not in venror state cause it eject...my bios usually regonize it but not anymore...? if anybody has same problem as i do and found cure for it please tell mee too...
and by the way i want to try this dosflash 16 but i dont find this l-o-erase on internet... xbins pages are down for some reason...
any clues where i can find it?
THANKS PAL!!!!

This evening I wil try this flash tut. i had the same problem flashed my drive twice without a problem but this time it went wrong...

Thanks PhatAdam! it works perfect!
repaired and flashed and ready to play...

When my drive had no firmware on it - I just spoofed my source firmware (with the key) to the iXtreme LT target firmware under the FirmwareTool32 tab, went to the MTKFlash32 tab, selected my invisible drive on the correct port, then select Intro / Device ID. Now cut the power off and then on simultaneously as soon as the dots appear and you should see the flash chip properties and Status 0x72.

Now click "Write" and it will write the firmware and the drive will be able to eject again and ready to put back into the 360. Make sure you do the Outro / ATA Reset as the last step.
