nice guide mate, good job

[afterburners]

ok i have read so many tut's today im confused.

what is the best (easiest) method of flashing a liteon?

[dalecheesy]

If you have a Via card i'd go for iprep (if you use jungleflasher remember to delete the viamraid.sys and instal portio) but its all down to personal preference ab. Used both but i still prefer iprep. No crashing or freezing problems, however i deleted the above file and tried jungle a few times and it ran sweet. I tend to dump with iprep, check the key with jungleflasher then finish the flash off with iprep (bit long winded i know as jungleflasher could do the lot but i still like iprep) Suppose it's down to you preferring either dos or windows ui.

[afterburners]

so iprep tells when to use the prbe yeah?

[tpepsiman]

only time you need the probe is just before you read the drive
that wont change no matter what app you use :)

[dalecheesy]

yip, you can only use the r232 serial cable with iprep but jungle supports serial and usb. don't know why but i just don't trust the ck3 usb with flashing. mind i ended up buying the lite version so usb is out of the window anyway..lol

unless its been flashed already then jungle doesn't need to redump it again and sends the data through the sata lead. but in that case i normally build the firmware with jungle and still finish the flash off with the flit command.

really great tut man, flashed without a problem

[Kyuss]

Its just a slightly updated tpepsiman guide so thanks to him too!

[ashbuster]

im just wondering because ive seen tutorials
but after you read the drive dont you erase before you flash
just dont get why this tutorial never mensions erase for the lite-on or any others
insted it goes straight into writeing the firmware
