c4e doesn't usually mess with chips, but firmware flash. although it might require an addon chip for an external firmware if the internal one really isn't flashable, though.

I hope this helps in testing the new drive. Only tested a few cdbs under DOS 6.22. At least the TS-H943A does respond to the inquiry listed in the examples. Type cdb.exe for usage. Download-Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/134730184/cdb.exe.htmlThanks to TMF for support! |

i've not found any vendor specific ATA command in Benq fw i've scanned ata commands (thanks to Schtrom for the dosflash sources), here are the supported by the DG-16D2S 08, A0, A1, E0, E1, E5, FC(this is vendor specific) don't know which, probably E5 or FC, but after that the motor spins every second. I've also bruted the parameters of ATA command 0x80 (the one used by dosflash and mtkflash)....ATA register "1F3"=2A is the standard for other MTK chips and does not work, but 2B, 2D, 2E are recognized.....but i had a bricked drive after 2E  I hope to reasume it while bruting parameters  |

Well, the patent says about a "path" to the host that can be IDE or SIO, tells about a download module, a check module and an erase module which can "erase embedded memory upon an erase_trigger signal".
Not sure if this erase_trigger is in fact the MTK "command of death" i sent, but it takes quite long to complete so is most supposed, and interesting is that after this cmd the status reg is 0x72, like all known MTK chips with embedded ram and external SPI (which are not already supported by any dos app like MTKflash or dosflash).
But the patent says also about a check module to allow/disallow embedded memory read/write to/from host, these checks can be against memory empty, memory writed with a pattern or just a crc check over all memory.
So, let me do some speculation:
- the 2E parameter triggered the erase module to erase all firmware
- the 2E parameter triggered an erase of the fw CRC, the fw could not boot cause of CRC fail, check module could allow memory access...but i/we don't know how to access flash of a MTK drive with 0x72 status.
BTW, this dead drive does not boot from an external SPI flash.

tryed serial interface with MT1319L and MTK Tool 1.31 software make some communication with mcu, result is: unknown flash so this MTK Tool cant handle with MT1319L, i think this sw is made for mcu with external flash. so probably theres way.. need datasheet.. The link that n00bpwner360 suggested for MTKPatcher is old The newest version is this http://newage.mpeg4-players.info/mt1389/tools/MT1389_Flasher_0.5.2.0.7z Give it a try with this version A good schematic for the cable is here http://www.pioneerfaq.info/images/InstrukcjaEnglish_img_0.jpg http://www.pioneerfaq.info/images/P3170367-liten.JPG I have had a modded MTKTool version for some "persistent" DVD players... I am not sure if it actually helps, but i'll have a look.. P.S. Found it.. There you go.. http://rapidshare.com/files/135656088/MtkTool235_mod.rar.html |

is there anything at all in the "firmware error file"? maybe a CRC result from the firmware? blind guess..... Just the patent refers to a word that verifies the memory after programming. |

I swapped my RROD 360 for a replacement and got this Drive ! If anyone wants to swap for an older version of 360 PM me and let me know I will pay for shipping for both packages in the U.S. Thanks |

Is there a way to update the LiteOn 16D2S Drive for PC... see this http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=225&Itemid=99&limit=1&limitstart=2... Well, if we use the programming used by this software that updates the drive on your PC, could not drive to update the same model (16D2S) which is in XBOX360? From what I can see obviously that can be programmed, therefore, uses the same model of a drive upgradable the PC and with certainty because they updated the firmware to insert the key of the drives that are replacing within the microsoft... |

There is not a PC drive with embedded flash, as far as i know
For all other stuff, feel free to buy a new console and do your tests and (if you like to partecipate)report back results, like the rest of us.

yeah lowering the default reading speed from 12x to let's say 5x, would really let GTA4 (or any of your games) benefit from way less popups and loading times.

Tried some weeks ago.
This app works only on liteon fw, the 360 drive has a benq fw.
It just send an inquiry 12 00 00 00 80 40 and reads the flash ID into the extended inquiry response.
To dump uses CDB DF
but again, our drive has a benq fw, does not accept both this liteon specific CDBs.
I doubt that fw can be read or writed simply with a couple of atapi commands, or just with an uart app like the one for MT1389, the point here is not googling for a solution.

So this is basically, a BenQ drive with a LiteOn sticker on it?

LiteOn owns Benq's ODD business. So yeah.

Just to exclude some other possibility:
I measured voltage on each pin of the MT1319 and MT1309, the only difference is pin GIO6. On Mt1319 seems phisically disconnected and measures about 1,4v, while on the asus 818 (MT1309) goes directly to sata power connector pin11, which is "reserved" and grounded inside standard sata power cables.
I pulled it high or low, connected the asus SPI flash on the liteon, seems to not care, at least this seems not a magic switch to boot from external spi flash, maybe it's used for other purposes, or maybe not at all.

I'm sure, and i'm also sure that c4e knows much more about FD debug commands, which now seem more interesting than before

I think he has already finished it.
He told me yesterday morning to have it 90%.
My best guess is that the fw to be used will be somewhat like the iXtreme for BENQs we have now. The major concern now may be the tool to read and inject the firmware on the Lite-On's MTK Controller.
This may be where c4eva is focused now. Who is helping him with this?! Or is he still a one man army?
