    i had an hitatchi 79fl yesterday, luckily i read the key with toolbox 4.8 so i have the backup. i then tried jungleflasher to flash it, the flash went wrong (chose ix1.4 instead of 1.5.1) and i attempted to restore it in jungleflasher, dont know what happened but the restore did not work and the drive bricked - sort of.
    jungleflasher just locked up if i tried to do anything after that (re-flash)
    even if i rebooted pc and started from scratch.

    eventually i rebooted the pc, got it into modeb (windows eventually picked the drive up) and i used toolbox 4.8 to reflash original key/backup back onto the drive.

    then i eventually managed to get it sorted through jungle flasher. its been a fine app up till then, toolbox 4.8 seems a better app to use and i cant wait till the new version is released any day now.

    Ive made the decision to stick with toolbox for now, as Ive had similar issues with JF (which made me think about losing the via drivers).... Ive been manualy creating the 1.51 firmware and using Toolbox to flash 78 & 79 drives.....I just feel more comfortable that way.
