I have a LiteOn SOHW 8123 thats in Imgburn showed in capabilities it couldnt read or write DVD DL +R's. Just for the heck I tried cross flashing with SOHW 823S firmware .Now in Imgburn it does show it has those capabilities. I dont want to waste a DL to test it. But is that all a DVD drive needs to enable features like that?JUst the fimware?

Nope!!

This is an exception. Normally you cannot enable such features, especially not features like Lightscribe. Firmware is no magical healer.

I tested it.Not by burning a DL.I put in a Xbox 360 back up and ran Abgx to check disc.It read it and passed it.So Im going to go ahead and give a shot and burn a DL and see If it works in my Xbox 360.

Wrong!

What has reading to do with writing? Nothing.
