[m9g]

All flashed

stuck old dummy.bin from last year in source, it auto put fw in target, created cfw, erased, auto went into vendor and then wrote cfw - job done!!!!

Cheers guys - next thing is "why did I buy a liteon dvd writer?", I thought from reading previous posts a while back that it was possible to write XDG3 on standard dual layer discs" - was this not corrct then or what benefit has this 124b have over a standard writer?

Cheers

last night i loaded the LTPLUS-025.bin into the source, spoofed my key into it that I had when i originally flashed it over a year ago and created a CFW and saved it.

Now all i need to do is get the drive into vendor mode and erase and write the CFW

Am I right?

tried getting into vendor mode last night but drive just had 0x51 error

Regards

Ok if you are totaly happy that your bin file is from your xbox and the keys are correct follow this guide

Load Jungle Flasher and first click on the FirmwareTool 32 tab and then click the Open Source Firmware button. Now load YOUR Dummy.bin file. Navigate to where the file is saved, select it and click open. You will be asked if you want to auto-load Liteon iXtreme (CLICK NO). Open Target Firmware and load LTPlus-025-v2.0.bin then click Spoof Source to Target. At this point check both keys match.
Now you are ready to program your drive.
Select the MTK Flash 32 tab. Click the Lite-On Erase button. You will get a pop-up warning you to be 100% sure that you have your DVD Key. If you are sure click YES. Another pop-up explaining that the drive will be erased and when it sends an intro to the drive to kick it into vendor mode. If you are ready click YES. You need to power cycle the drive (turn the CK3 Pro power switch OFF then ON) when the drive status displays as 0x90. Your drive will then switch to vendor mode ( 0x72 ) and you are ready to write data to the drive. To program the firmware click the Write button. After writing, Jungle Flasher also reads and verifies every sector to make sure that the drive programmed correctly. Once everything is completed it will say "Write Verified OK!". Success ! You can now click the Outro / ATA Reset button to take the drive out of vendor mode. JOB DONE

LOL i just spent ages typing my previous post. You need the new burner to be able to burn 100% of the game. If you dont have the new burner you can use things like clone cd and imgburn but will only write 97% of the game. These new games will fail the CIV checks online if they are not 100% complete.

hehehe, thanks for all that effort with the good guide.

I got hold of Gow3 rrod version which has the iso and dvd files and tried running through abgx and it said it didnt recognise the type of file?

Also, just looking at tut for updating f/w on the 124b which done fine but it then say about burning image in imgburn and changing the settings - it says to put a tick next to "perforem opc check" for 4x speed or uncheck for 2.4 speed and it mentions at the top about

4x on MKM003 (with OPC) and 2.4x on MKM001 (without OPC) DVD+R DL

What does this mean?

I left it unticked and told it to write at 2.4 speed - ok?

ABGX hasnt been updated with the new games so no point running any xgd3 games through it. The opc thing is for verb discs only. When you load a blank disc into imgburn it will tell you if they are mkm001 or mkm003. If you are using any other kind of media and have probs with the verify check out this post but only if you are having probs http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...my-tut-234648/

ah right ok thanks, only use verbs and write at 2.4x, been caught out with a pack of 25 naff ones and all turned to coasters

So at the mo, if i make a backup of a game i already have then as long as I have the iso and dvd files theres no need to run through abgx and just stick it into imgburn and enjoy

Playing my backup online with this new flashed liteon you would say is as safe as playing a backup on my hitach with lt1.1 which I have had no probs with at all.

Thanks for all your help, really appreciate it

[martiboy]

Abgx hasnt been updated because when lt2.0 came out they also brought of 0800 ripping firmware which is to extract all the data on the disc including ap25 and civ. So abgx may not be updated for a while. At the moment unless ms change things you will be as safe as using your hitatchi but things could always change so there is never a 100% guarantee. Thats the chance we take when we install cfw. Since lt2.0 came out with the xgd3 games i dont no of any1 who has been banned.

Ok ta

Just tried playing my backup of black ops and it comes up in the MY XBOX box which is good so means flashed drive is reading backup - clicked on it to play it and screen goes black - oh

Did I read somewhere that I will need to re-run black ops iso back through abgx and burn it again?

Cheers

yeh mate thats correct. This time when you run it through abgx it will patch with all ap25 files so you will never need to reburn. Hows gow3 going have you burnt it yet

Just finished, stuck in drive and comes up "play game" but with no picture, then when i click play game i get a black screen, a message saying signed out of live then signs back into live and goes back to main dashboard

I would think somehow the imgburn setting might have beenw rong as I know drive is seeing bachups the fact that it brought up the piccy of black ops when i put it in

Any ideas?

[martiboy]

when you burnt it did it burn 100% and also verify 100% did you click the verify before starting. Also is it a 0800 rip. You may need to follow that tut from the link i posted. I know some folks have had probs burning but as of yet ive never had a prob.

You have prob tried this already but do other backups work since you flash to lt 2.0 Also have you retarted your pc since flashing the burner
