Introduction
In the past there have been many users who have had problems when it comes to flashing their drive under Windows (Drive-bricking, Windows freezes, etc.) so I have decided to program a DOS-based tool that automatically does the following:
- Copying of the DVD-Drive Firmware
- Spoofing/patching of the Firmware
- Flashing the DVD-Drive with iXtreme
The Tool: XFlasher completes the entire Flash-Procedure. For this the original firmware
as well as the the files iXtreme.bin, org.bin, key.bin, identify.bin, inquiry.bin or dummy.bin are
placed in separate folders. Note: Not all of the files mentioned above are created for every drive model.
DVD drives from Lite-On, BenQ, and Samsung/Toshiba are supported. It is not possible to flash Hi-tachi drives under DOS at the moment, if this should change in the future then newer versions of Xflasher will most probably be released with the added support.
Essential Hardware
1. A PC with SATA and COM Ports (a COM port is only necessary for Lite-On drives).
A PCI-SATA card also does the trick. Boards with VIA or INTEL chipsets are recommended
2. A USB-Boot-Stick with DOS and the content from the XFlasher 360 file
3. iXtreme firmware for Lite-On (ix15Lite.bin), BenQ (ix15Benq.bin) and Samsung/Toshiba (ix15Sam.bin) drives (gets copied to the Firmware folder)
4. A RS232 converter for the Lite-On drive (i.e. 360 Xtractor Tool)
Installation
Warning: This will completely format your USB-drive!!!
1. Open the files "Install and format USB.bat" and select the drive letter of your USB-drive.
All required files will be copied to your USB-drive, this will make it bootable.
2. Boot your PC from the USB-drive.
