Yes, you can do that with the Omnipatcher. Load your firmware, apply the needed patches, change the media speed (by using "buttons" on the right) save your firmware and flash it with Litefirm.

btw, I've read it's not so good to burn at non certificates speeds rewritables media.

No, OmniPatcher will not work here. This media code is not present in the 11S media tables, and thus, there is nothing that can be done about it. The media will burn with a generic strategy at a generic speed. So no, it can't be done.

LiteFirm is an old firmware extraction program (doesn't work with any of the DVD firmwares). It is not a flasher.

This is true for +RW. -RW survives overspeed better.

it think this media is using generic write
as you can see the Media Codes doesn't include SONY000000U9
so how do i modify the generic media codes from x1 to x2
and i think this media support x2 speed
from Media Information it state

Media Id Code Speed 2.0x 2770KBps
Available Write Descriptor CLV 1.0x 1385KBps

There is no way to change the generic speed with OP. And despite what the media report says, I think that this Sony -RW might be 1x-rated. In the firmwares that properly support this media code, it is rated at 1x.

Sorry for bad information I gave. Everything was wrong in my answer

btw I meant this not Litefirm. I was wrong.

It's been a bad day.

It's okay. Goodness knows I've been wrong a lot of times, too.

Can TDK502sakuM3 which is 2X work at 4x? I am still working on 1-2x CD-RW's here Even though some writers can do them @ 32x and stuff.

You could try and see. RW overspeeding usually doesn't produce great results, but you'll never know for sure until you try. Just be careful to not try RW overspeeding on +RW, as +RW discs can be permanently ruined whereas -RW is more resilient... or at least, that's what I've heard. I haven't personally tried any sort of RW overspeeding.
