C0deKing,
I tried the Nero CD/DVD Speed Create Disc program and it wouldn't allow me to 2.4x write speed nor did it ever give me the option, it only would give me the 4x and 8x option and this was for all the media I had, even the media marked with 2.4x. I'm going to try to return this drive for another of the same model or I may try to find something with a low max rate. Is the write strategy able to be modified or am I out of luck?

Codeking:

Well I just got a new Lite On iHES208 drive to beable to do BD scans for quality and because of all the neat tools that you (et al) have made for Lite on drives.

I tried to read the stock firmware that came with the drive (8L05)(flash ID: EF 15 00 26 flash size: 2MB flash type: winbond(W25x16/16a)) with your flash utility (ver. 3.0.3) and it progresses as far as the first blue square and then it says not responding on the title bar of the utility.

Is this drive not supported? I clicked on the firmware and I suppose it read the size to be 2mb so I am at a loss as to why it will not read the fw...I am using vista ultimate 32 bit, and I have the drive in an external enclosure connected by esata to a sata controller card. The drive functions seemingly fine, so I hope you may have an answer to my quandry...

BTW - you have done a great job with all the tools you have produced - I know you get this allot, but it's true and all freeware - Mahalo and via con dios my friend in cyberspace and you have a place in optical drive heaven I am sure...

Hi SLOVEHEART and thanks for the kind words.

Can't find a problem here with the drive on eSATA, same flash chip and v3.03, using XP SP3.

Possibly Vista or the controller card.

the eprom reading tool works, I tried running the flash utility in xp(sp2) mode - still no luck, I will try running it thru a esata connection that runs straight to the onboard sata connectord on the mobo and see if it's the controller card. shoot

Codeking:

I isolated the problem to two possibilities. I put the drive connected to the internal Sata connections and was able to read the fw from the drive just fine, that leaves the sata controller, which is now a IOGear 4 port eSATA raid5 PCI card, before I was hooked up through a Rosewill RC-220 2 port eSATA 1.5GB PCI card. Or it is the JMicron controller chip in the external drive enclosure, or both that keeps the flash tool from working, just a FYI. So before I installed the replacement drive (the original iHES208 started to read errors off the chart, while a iHAP424 was showing normal error values) (thankfully Newegg let me return for replacement 3 days after the period ran out), I read the fw off the drive, no problems, tried it again when I had it hooked up externally, since the controller board has changed, still no luck...

C0deKing...
The writing firmware process needs 100% of disable
the DMA, or is unnecesary to do this last point.
Thanks.

Hi osoronoso. Flashing can be done without disabling DMA. For the best safety, don't enable "Update boot code".

Does not recognize my Lite-On DH20A1S



I wonder why Everest identifies the drive manufacturer as Philips / BenQ? My purchase receipt says it's a LiteOn drive




LtnFW does recognize the drive but crashes during use

My OS is Win 7 but the same results happen using Vista (dual boot machine)

As you can see from the screenshot I have used 3.0.3

I had misread the last post title I thought is said new version 3.0.3 when it actually said 3.0.2

Update

I have removed the drive for closer inspection.

The label says:

Manufacturer: Philips and BenQ Digital Storage Corporation
Model Number (2): DH-20A1S & DH-20A1S 18C

Confusing, is Lite-On part of Philips / BenQ ??????

Update: Problem fixed.


I updated my motherboards Intel Matrix Store Drivers and Flash_Utility 3.0.3 recognized my DH20A1S at once.

I then flashed with 20A1S.9L08.stock.exe firmware. I then had a Lite-on DVDRW LH-20A1S (9L08 version) I the flashed again with the latest Lite-On LH-20A1S firmware (9L09) which worked fine.
