hi,
looking for binary firmwares for upgrading a sony 16x (crx1611) & 24x to liteon.
thanks all of u.
bye.
You want to convert a CRX1611 and a CRX175E1 to their respective Lite-ON models? Just flash with Lite-ON firmware.
ya i tried using the dos version of mtkflash for crx1611 - but its not working.
when i tried to read the firmware - its hangs after displaying the authors name
Since the CRX1611 is an OEM LTR-16101B it will not work with mtkflash and you cannot make a backup of your current firmware. You can flash with pflash though.
this is nasty stuff… i have been learing since school…“always backup” 
anyways, thanks a lot.

i want to flash sony crx 1611
which one should i use ?
Liteon LTR-16101B (TS0W)
Liteon LTR-16102B (OS0K)
i know it sunds kinda dumb…but can i flash back to sony ?
Since it is an OEM LTR-16101B, you would use LTR-16101B firmware. You cannot flash back to Sony firmware since you cannot make a backup. Do not convert unless you are having problems.
is it possible for reading the firmware by writing a c or assembly level program.
do :
IN [portno.]
routine to write ax contents into a file
loop
original crx1611 is giving zillions of c2 errors 
should i upgrade to liteon ??
I have this burner, too. I flashed it to LTR-16101B
you´ll need the dos flasher incl. the firmware (the Liteon Windows flasher wont work, u cannot use pflash also since there is no bin available for this Writer)
such a flasher is only available for two older firmware versions … but if you flash it to one of these, you will be able to update to the latest version using the LiteOn Win Flasher…
