MRA hack on DG-16D2S-09C, can't get it in vendor mode

[proconsoles]

I have done the MRA for more then 100 times, and my solder skills are very good.

Now I have a DG-16D2S-09C, which I cannot get in vendor mode. The status keeps switching between 0x52 and 0x80.
I have tried with 20 and 22 ohm resister in serial with the switch. So I tried it with 20 Ohm, and tried it with 22 Ohm.

Further on I am using the Xecuter X360 USB Pro V1 version with the latest firmware and latest driver installed on Windows XP.

What do I do:

1) soldered MRA hack
2) put switch to closed
3) connect everything and put on the power on the drive board
4) started latest version of jungleflasher
5) clicked device ID button
6) waited until I see the popup window
7) switched off power
clicked OK
9) switched power on

Normally this works, and today I had another DG-16D2S-09C, which went fine without problems.

The Xbox on which it does not work, has dashboard update 15574 installed. I also tried it on another XP PC, and I do have exactly the same problems.

What could have caused this and what could I try ?

What I need to mention is that this drive has been used a lot, and when I eject the drive, it opens normally, but when I close it, I need to help the tray manually to close it. I need to push it a bit.

Try a smaller resistor. I used to do mra with 15ohm

i always used a zener diode to get 0x72. you do know you dont need to MRA liteons anymore theres a new method

[Xb0xGuru]

Wow - people are still MRA'ing Lite-ons?

[proconsoles]

I have ordered the "Xecuter CK3 Probe v3" to do the PMT method. Tomorrow I will also buy the 15 Ohm resistor to find out if that would be the solution.

[proconsoles]

The 15 Ohm resistor did the trick :-)

I could get into vendor mode immediately, thanks for the support.

I also did the PMT method with the "Xecuter CK3 Probe v3" and this works perfectly :-)

@ proconsoles: You're welcome!

Hah! When you get a DG-16D2S with unlocked SPI, the only way to get it in vendor mode is MRA.

am sorry to say m8 your wrong DG-16D2S drives dont need the MRA anymore to get key and as far as unlocked SPI them type of drives where never locked to start with lol

Phonsey: Go study abit about DG-16D2S and then come back here to tell what do you got.. But i'll give you a hint. DG-16D2S SPI IS locked by default. We dump it due an exploit to unlock it. That's why the only way to dump the key from a DG-16D2S when the SPI is *UNLOCKED* is by mra. All the tools will try to run the exploit, which will fail.
I've been checking some threads.. and all the ones you replied I can see nothing but bull*hit instead of knowledge and/or good info which I think its the main purprose of this forum.

So PLEASE, stop being a smartass.. and oh, you're welcome for the tip that I just gave you.

[phonsey]

ok so i guess Phat Key in jungleflasher is for nothing then. DG-16D2s-09C was never locked it was only blocked from using the RS232 Converter Board to get the key and the way they done that was by blocking the exploit used to dump the key by updating the firmware revision. so that why MRA was necessary then dumbass like for example

73850C ( Key Dumpable via RS232)
83850C V1 ( Key Dumpable via RS232 and LO83info Extraction)
83850C V2 ( Blocked Exploit MRA Needed)
93850C ( Blocked Exploit MRA Needed)
93850C ( Blocked Exploit MRA Needed)

Now the firmware is all the same for all DG-16D2S = 02510c and MRA is no longer need as we know have Phat Key in jungleflasher and Probes

johnsmith you need to update your jungleflasher pdf tutorial !!
and think about the times you lost "mraing" just because you were not following the scene (as a true modder)

You are completely wrong sir.If the SPI was locked we would be drilling/kamikaze unlocking phats.Maybe its you who needs to go read up on this stuff because from what IV seen is BS and no knowledge at all.Maybe read before you post Its also funny how iv done many a 9 series liteon using the "phatkey" method and dumped the key without doing the MRA hack and flashed it to CFW.I certainly wouldn't be sending any consoles to this johnsmith guys. Ta ta.

[johnsmith]

el oh el...

So here it goes again.. Anyone feel free to test it then

Erase a dg-16d2s board in jungleflasher, power it off, hit intro, power it on. You'll notice the 0x00 button will appear in jf. Write fw 0251 in the drive and hit the 0x00 button
BAM, the spi is screwed now. Only way to dump or erase the drive is using MRA.

Of course I know one shouldn't ever hit the 0x00 while playing with dg-16d2s boards.. it's just an example to how to get the spi unlocked. Yes despite what jf will say, unlocked. That 0x00h button was intended only for DG-16D4S boards/replacement boards!

and for those wondering, I've seen drives with unlocked spi with proper firmware and key installed to it. Don't ask me how but yes, its possible.

Also, I know about mtx01 way before it got public so I'm not MRA'ng anything.. unless strictly required.

@ phonsey, absolutelly no strings attached mate... take my words as a single heads up - about what you said about fatkey.. heh, take a spare drive and just try what I just said. Good luck with phatkey!

@ ttz: Thanks for the support heh, but again, I stand correct. - Check page 10 of the latest jungleflasher tutorial - It says -" if you see this ... it's a pain to unlock..." - Author just forgot to mention "pain to unlock" aka MRA... maybe someone was expecting to offer the job for some bucks? Who knows? Sorry if I dropped some water inside the boat, but again, All the info should be free!

@ grandmaster: as if I would take consoles from anyone for repairs. LOL

Peace everyone, and again, it's all about knowledge and good information.

[Grandmaster56]

Still dont understand what your talking about...iv erased and reflashed many a liteon drive with the phatkey method and iv had no spi problems...maybe its just down to your specific chipset/setup your using.

he is locking the drive himself by using slim unlock/lock feature which should never be used on them type of drives anyways so its pointless what he is saying! if he is stupid enough to lock the drive that doesn't need locked then i wouldn't be make a post of ur mistake cause it just makes you look so dumb plus i tested your theory out and i had no problem unlock or getting it into vendor mode after using 0x00 command etc... using x360usb pro v2 on latest jungleflasher

[Grandmaster56]

So in essence he is giving the drive a command it wasn't designed for then trying to tell us that the phat key method doesn't work...lol...I did wonder when he said he was giving the drive status 0x00.That having been said i knew i wasnt wrong as iv done many of these liteon drives via the phatkey method and iv never had to push a 0x00 button in JF other than for a slim.Johnsmith please accept you are wrong.I also dont understand why the hell you would deliberately press a button for a drive you know your not supposed to push in the first place.This guy shouldn't be allowed near an xbox and i hear he has a tutorial out??? Howd that happen? lol

Peace everyone, and again, it's all about knowledge and good information.

Care to try again?

lmfao i no m8 and he's calling me stupid lol

[johnsmith]

Welp, I'd like to ask where "I" said I was using the command that wasn't made for that specific drive model?

I indeed told HOW TO get the spi unlocked.. but again, I said that "i've seen" drives with unlocked spi but I guess I forgot to be more specific.. it was unlocked by some clueless n00b?

Either way, I don't care. Play the smart ass, play the dumb, I don't *really* care, and I hope my info can help someone.

Peace out

Ummm right here is where you said you used a command that wasn't for that specific drive model,what command exactly?? The 0x00 command thats for SLIMS! Its a well known fact that all phat drives don't have locked spi's.You just read,write and then re-intro the drive...job done.Your using words like "unlocked" when they are already unlocked.
