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

*ldw* · 04-06-2005

@ Talon88

1653s. I just did it, works great. BTW, I'm trying CS0P again, this time I reset learnt media and it looks good now. Keep fingers crossed.

@C0deKing
thank you for this new feature. but there's still something i don't understand.

why is my dru710a@official CS0P already a 1653s?

Did you flash your drive using the official BYX3 or BYX4 flashers at any point in time? The official BYX3/BYX4 flashers are, um, shall we say... special, and will auto-convert the EEPROM from a 33S to a 53S. Ssssshhh!

Original 1653 eeprom enables using stock encrypted firmwares? What's the benefit of that?

*chok0* · 05-06-2005

@code65536
no. i got the drive with BY01, crossflashed to BS0S, BS41, CS0K, CS0M, and finally flashed with stock CS0P flasher from liteon site. i just wanted to test if it works, and yes, it flashed without a warning.

1/ Use the Upgrade Drive function.
2/ Use a flashfixed stock or patched firmware from our site to flash to the new model you have selected. After that you can use official firmware, if you want, or continue to use patched firmware.

Quote:

after doing the upgrade, will the EEPROM tool itself detect the drive as the newer model (Where it puts "<-- this drive")?

Yes.

It means you can use official firmware without any patches, so you don't have to wait for us to post an unscrambled version to try a new release

.

You will however still have to wait for the unscrambled version to apply any other patches

.

Edit: Maybe you meant your drive is already a 1653S. If so, there is no real benefit from this function, to 1653S owners, unless you prefer 1213S firmware

@ CodeKing
Can use this util to go back to the original model or are you now stuck with the "upgraded" model??

Forget about it, I read the readme after I posted.

What about the error message above I have never had a problem using the eeprom util with previous versions?

*chok0* · 05-06-2005

@IceBerg
restart your computer and try again.

if you clicked on Upgrade Drive maybe that is the problem, because you selected the 832s. it's not upgradable.

IceBerg · 05-06-2005

Restarted same error, it doesn't get to the stage where you can select the drive, what size is the eeprom.exe, I have downloaded it twice and when extracted it is only 317kb about 1/2 the size of the old version??

*chok0* · 05-06-2005

the util is "315 KB (322.560 Bytes)" long. i think c0deking is using a new method to compile the executable what results in smaller file size.

what do you mean with: "...stage where you can select the drive..."

IceBerg · 05-06-2005

well when i click on upgrade drive, that is when i get the error message, isn't there meant to a box that pops up so you can select the type of update that you want to do?

*chok0* · 05-06-2005

your drive is a 832s, it can't be upgraded as there is no newer drive from this series. that's why you get the error. the upgrade function is only for 1213/1613/1633/1653s drives.

IceBerg · 05-06-2005

Nah man you are incorrect the newest version 3.0.4 has fixed my problem and the upgrade of my 812S@832S to a fully fledged 832S has been a sucess thanks for the quick fix guys.

Oops

. Sorry about that. It only affects using the upgrade drive function on an 812S or 832S eeprom/drive.

Try v3.0.4, now released

C0deKing, is v3.0.4 supposed to work with OEM 812S's?

The reason I ask :
Tried on my 812S = worked.
Tried on my DW-U18A(OEM 812S) = Invalid checksum

Thanks. That's really weird. The checksum in that EEPROM is competely wrong on all four counts. I checked my U18A EEPROM, which was dated 2 months before yours and the checksum was as it should be, for an 812S. Any idea what might have happened to it?

I'll send you back your one with the checksum fixed.

That is strange. From memory, the drive has been only flashed once from UYS1 to UYS4.

Anyway, your FIXED EEPROM did the trick. Many, Many thanks.

(Especially considering what time it is your time (1:37am [yawn]))
