A: Yes, with Opti Drive Control , and possibly other tools. Late generation and models are likely to require this tweak. The iHBS 2 is a newer version of the , and seems to universally require the trick. Unfortunately, there is no definitive way to tell whether your drive is a first generation or second generation. This is also the case for any rebadges of these drives. Other firmware: If first generation, scanning should be fine. If second generation, see the tip above.
Using it with DVD media is fine, and CD media is—as is the case with MediaTek drives—not perfect, but usable to identify the worst errors on the disc.
Flash Utility does not work correctly with drives running 2nd generation firmware. This includes 1st generation drives upgraded to 2nd generation firmware. It will appear to read the firmware from the drive, but the resulting file will contain garbage and is unusable. If in doubt, open the dumped firmware. If the dump was successful the data should have a recognisable structure.
If you are upgrading the firmware same drive model then the official firmware package with integrated flasher can be used. If you have a 2nd generation drive or 1st generation drive with 2nd generation firmware then Flash Utility will not work.
For all crossflashing using the Unlocked Flasher method or Flash Utility, it is necessary to have a. The official firmware upgrade. If you are unable to dump the firmware from your drive, make sure you have a. Keep these files safe, you will need them if the crossflash goes wrong.
Do you know if it is actually newer than PL06 or any other? Or does the date just reflect the fact the Teac was released later? It is more of less PL06 with a different name. I doubt that there are any major changes between the two though, so if there are any differences, they are likely to be on the minor side I would guess.
Very interesting thread! I still miss some. Please feel free to leave any questions, comments, and concerns, as this is kind of a collaborative effort brought together by the trials of many wonderful members here. Please provide guidance on the above posts where you see information that is missing or inaccurate, and I will be happy to update it.
If you know of links to the tools required in any of the steps above, please share. If you are someone who needs any of the tools listed above, please ask.
There are separate firmwares for 1st and 2nd generation drives easily identifiable as 1. Unlike the Lite-On firmwares, it is not possible to use 2nd generation Sony firmware on a 1st generation drive. At least it did not work with my 1st generation BWUS. The final BWUS firmwares 1. I have a 1st generation BDS. Thanks in advance. Rob rlkolb77 aol.
As mentioned above, you can get all the firmware you want HERE. Crashed computer in first time run aspi related issue. Rebooted, and it ran OK. Frozed during the flash procedure downgrade from FS0G to FS0F and the litterally died no lights, could not open the tray and the MoBo bios hunged when trying to detect the drive. Resurection came at last whith the help of mtkflah. I find all sites to be extremly lacking in good ol. Not a very good selection of. Just sucks trying to find.

Quick example, open a bin file for your drive and take note of the first line, then open the liteon win flash, search in the file for the first line from the bin file, take note of the offset and add 0xffff0h. That is by far the best explanation of how to extract a. Other people have made mention of it but not in any clear form that made sense.
Without a. Also, as you mentioned, if they had. Therein lies the predicament faced by lots of posters with dead drives and no. For me it looks safer than methods proposed here. Yes I second that… maybe including different versions if useful like mtkflash often useful to try different versions. Open to editing by mods of course. It just seems the tools are sorta scattered all over the place right now.
One last note, the very nice tool FlashFix had already slipped to page 2 so I bumped it. Gawd knows new people on the forum are probably not going to be reading page 2. Yeh… we heard that before. Just complaining wont solv your problem. I should be done within a couple days and will release it then.
