EEPROM Utility for PLDS/LiteOn/Sony CD & DVD Writers (v6.2.0)

After clearing EEprom - Burnt at 4x

jimmsta · 24-10-2004

is it just me, or does the so-called learning function actually INCREASES the amount of errors on a disc after consequative burns?

Perhaps this util is a godsend....

Here's the first of two burns with the same media, before the eeprom was cleared.

It looks to me more like the drive is trying random write strategies

The first one has PIF appox 500, and PIF lower than 3 (wtf

) and then the next burn is a low with a mountain at the end. Third burn is again decent, with a small rise of PI in the middle (8x zone) and then the 4th is downright embarassing. I mean wtf

it's almost like the errors start climbing, then it hits the 6x write zone, +100, then hits 8x zone, +100.

Methinks it might be the solution for some people.
It's certainly not the solution for my burner. Either way, I've used up all my princos (thank god) so more trouble anyway

TY forever!

Gejza · 24-10-2004

Hi guys!

I have tried almost everything but without any success. My 812S@832S is not able to burn any DVD (+ -) with good result. I have tried all FW, patched by OP, … nothing. I also tried to use new EEPROM Tool to reset learnt media, but also without good result.
I am using Traxdata DVD+R media 8x (Ritek R03) now, but I am not satisfied.
PI errors are too high, PIF seems to be OK.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Can this utility be used to back up CD-RW and Combo EEPROMs as well, just in case of a foulup, particularly when crossflashing?

Fr4nz · 26-10-2004

No, but it would be beautiful if Codeguys could do an EEPROM utility for CD-RWs..

The option which clears all the things the burner has learnt about various medias would be very useful also for cd-rw burners that doesn't go very well.

Code could you do that?? Maybe when you have some free time! Pleaseeeee!

jimmsta · 26-10-2004

I don't believe so. I attempted to back up my Liteon CDRW drive's eeprom, but it didn't let me... in that it doesn't show my drive in the drop-down combo box... so I guess not.

esputer · 27-10-2004

problem with the Utilitie my it does not find any drive in my pc and i have a 832 installed all it tels me is that is has some kinda scsi error or sumthing i dunno what the problem since all other tools works just fine BTW i am running windows me is that the problem ???

*C0deKing* · 27-10-2004

Windows Me does not support SPTI, so you have to make sure you ASPI is working correctly. Use Nero Infotool and check the ASPI tab. It should say that ASPI 4.60 is installed and working correctly. To install ASPI 4.60 go to this link:

esputer · 27-10-2004

it didnt help

*C0deKing* · 27-10-2004

That's odd. How is the DVD writer connected to the system? Can you please show me what the configuration tab looks like.

esputer · 28-10-2004

the strange thing is that other appz like kprobe when i first got into this like 6 months ago dint work because i had that old aspi then i upgraded like everyone toldme and the all work just fine exepct the your eeprom util on i also killed the aspi and re installed it to double chek and nuttin and other thing the other eeprom util the one that LTN-flash124 works just fine and it can read and write eeprom fine. anyway the picture is attched

99none · 28-10-2004

- aspi 4.60, lite 1633@memorex F16
- win xp sp2 PL ( polish ).
- eeprom tools 1.3. make error from backup, why ..

99none · 28-10-2004

- but ltnflash 1.24 read, write, save eeprom good

99none · 28-10-2004

- compare from bin to after reset

99none · 28-10-2004

- it's all rights

- v 1.3.1 don't read from lite-on patched to Memorex F16.
- after patch to 1633s@1653, working good.

*chok0* · 28-10-2004

yes, the util doesn't recognize rebadged drives/firmwares. i thought it depends on internal information...??

Thanks esputer.

Is anybody else using the EEPROM Utility on Windows ME or 98?

rexman · 29-10-2004

I use Win 98 SE and Win 2000. The util does not recognise my 411@811 zebra mod under Win98SE but des recognise the drive under Win2000.

I have the latest ASPI on both Win98se and Win2000.

*C0deKing* · 29-10-2004

Thanks. I think the technique I have used is only allowing drives detected by SPTI to be added to the drive list and as Windows Me and 98 doesn't have SPTI it will not detect any drives. I'll check it out and see if I can correct this.

*C0deKing* · 29-10-2004

New release: EEPROM Utility v1.3.2

EEPROM Utility v1.3.2 has been released to address an issue with Window 98 and Me, which doesn't support SPTI. I also added the date info to the drive ID, in the drive list.

Changes:
1/ Searches for drives on SPTI and ASPI.
2/ Shows drive date in the drive list.

@C0deKing: Thx.
Btw.: Some messageboxes still aren't modal. "SCSI Error!", for example.

DiggnSaeg · 29-10-2004

And why can I click the buttons when "No DVD Drives Were Found"?
Just to give suggestions...
