| I got this new slimline DVD+RW drive from Dell today, because my old LG drive died. I found out that most Sony drives are rebadged Liteon drives, and I guess this one is no exception. I extracted the firmware (QDS1) from it and tried to flash it with Liteon SOSW-852S firmwares (PS01 & PRS7) but the drive stopped responding. So I flashed it back and its all working again. I tried this because I thought I could use the bitsetting utility with the Liteon firmware, but the drive didnt respond after flashing so I couldnt test. I really would like to have bitsetting on this drive because I can only burn DVD+R with it, which my Xbox and dvdplayer dislike. Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

| Probably. LiteOn generally uses a different xor constant with each firmware family ("Q---" vs. "P---"). A user recently flashed a slimline 421S to a 431S, and that required a checksum fix, too. I might as well enable OP's checksum fix for the slimlines since it seems like more people are getting these things.

| Thanks for your help! I have succesfully flashed my R56A drive to A D56A Drive.. have tested all but DL burning and all works great! Attached is a DVD Info Screen. Only problem (even before the flash) was that I could not write at 8X Using Verbatim DVD+R.. So I am assuming it is the Media.. here are the media codes and Info: Media Information Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO Media code/Manufacturer ID MCC 003 Media Product Revision Number 00h Format Capacity Blank Disc Free Blocks 405405696 Free Capacity 4.38GB(4.70GB) Book Type DVD+R Media Type DVD+R Manufacturer Rated Speed 8.0x 11080KBps Available Write Descriptor CLV 4.0x 5540KBps Available Write Descriptor CLV 2.4x 3324KBps Data area starting sector 30000h Linear Density 0.267um/bit Track Density 0.74um/track Number of Layers 1 Complete Media Code 00000000 08 02 00 00 A1 0F 02 00 00 03 00 00 00 26 05 3F .............&.? 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 4D 43 43 00 00 00 00 00 30 .......MCC.....0 00000020 30 33 00 38 23 54 37 12 02 42 6E 02 A8 6B 15 15 03.8#T7..Bn..k.. 00000030 0B 0B 08 08 01 19 1B 0C 0C 0C 0D 01 00 00 00 00 ................

| So, will it ever be possible to write 8x with this drive? |
Posted: 27-10-2004 - #42
| i've got a sony DW-R56a (firmware QDS1), which i got with a Dell D600 laptop. It doesn't currently support -R/-RW burns but my understanding is that it is a rebranded LiteOn SOSW-852S which, if i'm reading things correctly, can burn to -R/-RW media. i've tried patching my drive with some of the 852 LiteOn firmwares but to no avail - the drive refuses to work. from what i've read above it should be possible to flash the R56A to a D56A which will then support the -R/-RW burns. Can anyone confirm this? and if so is there any chance of mailing the relevent crossflashed firmware over to me?? |

Normally, this would be done using OmniPatcher, but OP does not support slimline drives yet. I hope to be releasing version 1.3.14b of OP with slimline crossflashing support soon (within 24 hours?), and you can use that to patch a firmware to flash your drive with. Watch the OP thread title for 1.3.14b's release. (I was originally planning this for 1.3.15, but it seems that the other changes planned for 1.3.15 will take some time, hence the 1.3.14b quickie)
