iXtreme v1.6 for Liteon 83V2 and 93450 - Better Dumping Method

[Raptor]

carranzafp/Maximus released a modified version of the Lite-On iXtreme v1.6 to work with the 83850-v2 and 93450 drives:

Just finished hexediting and testing
Here are templates for Ixtreme 1.6 for 83V2 and 93450 liteon firmwares
what you need to do is place your keys/serials on it and flash
use Jungleflasher or Hexedit, whatever, keep you original stored for future upgrades

Dont ask why you got banned if you play Online with this firmware, its 1.6, also I just tested with 2 consoles so its your call
the fws are based on the 83v1 ixtreme 1.6 I could have do it based on the 74 but Its the first I saw, dont think based on the 74 would make them safer anyway

In related news, MRA released a new and better method to dump/read those Lite-On 83850-v2 and 93450 drives:

No pin lifting or epoxy removing needed anymore! Just solder anything on the back according to this picture.
Also if you got status 0x52 instead of 0x72 with the "1,8V-method" this should do it. I already dumped 4 drives with this method without any issues.

-switch in pos 1
-power drive
-start Dosflash --> SPI should get recognized with status 0x72
-put switch in pos 2
-click "read"

unsolder anything and reconnect the lines that have been cut.

can confirm this works like a charm, took seconds to read a version 2 8 series liteon
20 mins soldering etc
only did it of technical curiosity im not even flashing it lol

yeah. much nicer getting in there with the soldering iron for sure

What's the easiest way to cut and then repair the traces on the board ?

Also what version of Dosflash did you use ?

Can the extracted firmware then be patched and written back with jungleflasher as per normal ?

Ta !

As JungleFlasher is the only app that supports the Winbond SPi, you might want to try it from the start

Hi Folks
you can use Jf ver 1.67 to read dumped stock f/w files. But please bear in mind that as of 1.67 there was no reason to support 83v2 and v92. Also, 1.67 was released early in reaction to sammy/benq 1.61 leak. At that time a large overhaul was ongoing to the firmtools engine to accommodate encrypted lite-on f/w natively .

1. Open the dump in the target
note** i. liteon encrypted f/w will not open on the source tab.
ii. 93 f/w will show as 74 as they are very similar...
iii. 83 v2 will look like 83 again very similar
2. right click in the target tab and select "Save Dummy"
3. now reopen this dummy on the source side.
4. open which ever Lite-on f/w YOU think is best in the target side
note** 1.67 will NOT spoof a 93 correctly to non-encrypted types
however, 167 will not alter the inquiry between lite-on revs
so if you use the f/w Carranzafp posted the inquiry strings will be unaltered,
but the key and serial info WILL be transferred.... and there will be no e66....
Read his warnings
URL REMOVED
5. if you are feeling lucky flash it

We will endevour to release a fully functional version in the coming days.
Again we are under pressure due to unforseen circumstances.
I refuse to release half baked code. no ETA... ready when its ready....

C4 has mentioned f/w.... but we'll wait and see...

Ta !

i cut the tracks with a scalpel and rejoined them by bridging with solder for one and mod wire for the other.
it was easy but i've worked as electronic eng for most of the last 20yrs and I have a good smd iron and ive no problem with this.
if u cant solder well forget it.
i havent flashed it , i just dumped it cos the console has been in a box here for weeks - i was stuck with it cos it couldn t be flashed so i bought another - was gonna sell it but then came the ban wave and im prob gonna keep it for online play -and i really was curious as to whether it would work.
i used dosflash 32 and checked the dump by loading into JF as TARGET.
