    Default Best Homemade Solution To Extracting Lite-On Drive Keys

    hey guys
    ive been working away at this all day (reading soldering testing etc etc).
    I still havnt managed to get the dvdkey off a lite on drive.

    Whats the best method to go about doing it? Home made preferably, otherwise i dont mind buying a executer but i think that'd be too easy



    ive made the home made extractor in that but it doesnt seem to come up with any key. Do i need to bridge any thing on the actual dvd drive?


    cheers

    Do you have drivers for the card? I have 1 that makes pc take 2x longer to load when installed and then comes up saying needs driver. I don't remember if I got disc with mine or not as can't find packaging

    cheers

    I think i got mine from the VIA website, but remember if your using
    this card for xbox360 drive connection then you dont need the drivers.

    cheers

    Urban, the TX(R707) needs to bridged in order to extract the liteon DVD key.

    Fortunately in order to Flash the liteon with hacked firmware does not require any bridging.

    I used the Xtractor 360 hardware(wirewrap to short R707) and extractor_reader to read the identify,enquiry and dvd key.
    I then used Jungle flasher which compiles the above files in conjuction whtich the latest x15 liteon hacked firmware.
    I then used dosflash to clear the original firmware from the liteon drive and then copied the hacked firmware back.

    I would steer clear of Jungle flasher to erase and write to the liteon drive and just use Dosflash personally atm.
    I had lockups erasing using Jungle Flasher.

    Using VIA VT6421 pci card & vista.

    hey guys
    the method above works fine... extracted a key this morning.
    suprising some people charge $120 just to do that... its quite a simple process once you know what you are doing...

    big thanks to gavpk for all his help

    good to hear, as i said to you urban, using any NPN transistor
    (as suggested in the above tut) may not always work as i found
    out the first time, but using a BC547 transistor got it going first time

    so for anyone considering flashing there own liteon drive, this is
    an easy working DIY solution, once you have the keys, the liteon drive
    is the easiest to flash and also nearly impossible to brick (once you
    extract the correct keys)

    i used the BC548 NPN transistor, but as you said i think they will all work in a similar fashion....

    You have to remove pin number 3 from the xbox drive which is the one directly to the right of the pin with the triangle on it (thanks gavpk), that bit confused me a bit at the start.

    Also you need to scratch at the r707 pad to show the copper tracks before attaching the probe to it.

    Here are some pictures of my solution








    If anyone needs anymore help with this please ask in this thread and ill do my best to lend a hand

    Gee,

    Ya help people out and then you express an opinion, and if the "Austech insiders don't like "u" your brushed

    Opinions are taken personally on austech.........so watch out if your opinion is different to the norm/mean/average.

    Cheers and thanks for your "free" advice/update/experience urban_s0ulja, especially in your field of experience.

    No one makinng a big name for themselves and the asking people for donations to make their heads bigger would be a relief, unless they were front-up with it.

    pfff, what a childs play

    Your ok
    cheers,
    machine

    dont know what you mean by your post....

    but im suprised, many "professional modders" as they like to call themselves asked for upto $120 to complete the seemingly simple process above...

    those same modders didnt even have the curtosy to come in and lend a hand / share there opinon.... im not looking to start a business and steal work i was just looking to learn how to do it themselves....

    this "gaming section" of austech is almost similar to the security section, the so called "pros" keep all the fun to themselves

    oh well, im glad i got through it and learnt it all,

    big thankyou to gavpk

    You can also probe the point below R707 to get TX

    i found it easier to pick away at the lacquer and put the probe in the track
    that way it sits nicely untill the key got extracted

    but either way works nicely

    the $120 you refer to includes a samsung (or other flashable) drive, modding of a xbox360 with liteon should now be considerably cheaper.

    thats the funny thing....
    he wasnt happy to do the lite on flash
    he said it was going to be extremely unreliable/buggy etc etc etc....
    and insisted on replacing it with a samsung drive

    i think he wanted to get rid of some excess stock maybe....

    Default NPN transistor

    Will any transisor work or does it have to be a certain series (BC548 or so)?

    almost any npn small signal transistor should work.
    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    Cwispy thanks. I used a small npn transistor that I took off of a compaq monitor (who said compaq weren't good for anything). I completed the tool by soldering the points and then using hot glue to make sure they were covered and it worked like a charm. I flashed my first liteon today. Thanks again for the info.

    I personally take offence at some of the comments here , if you do not believe quite a few of us are open with suggestions on how to fix something for free instead of sending it to us , in future I may just do that , not help at all , and then if bad advice is given , which it often is , again I may just ignore it all .
    for everyones information the only reason I have not posted in this thread is that I have not even attempted to do a liteon as yet
    but I do agree on one thing $120 is a lot to pay for this process , I have only ever charged $50 to flash drives regardless of type , the liteon will be no different

    Used this process tonight after making my home made extraction tool, all worked great up until i was writing the new key onto the drive, i was using jungle flash to write key, but the thing kept freezing, used dosflash32 to put key onto drive and all was sweet.

    I have read that jungle flasher is a little of a problem (freezing), worked for key extraction and erasing the drive just would not write new key to drive.

    Anyone wanting to do this method i would say that it is easy as long as you know your basic electronics to make key extraction tool.

    Cheers.
