10 PCS, 10cm x 10cm, 2 layers prototype for $38.80 shipped!

What do you need to flash the spoofed firmware to your Lite-on DVD drive?

This is a good question. There are many ways to flash your Lite-on DVD drive. You can use Windows based applications such as Jungle Flasher or DosFlash32 etc. However, there are many reports that once you have erased the firmware of your lite-on, you PC will freeze whenever you power on the Lite-on. We have found the DOS based Dosflash works way better than these Windows applications. It never freezes your PC!

There you go, you will need the following stuff before you can flash your lite-on in DOS:

1. A bootable media, such as bootable floppy disk, a bootable USB key or a bootable CD, which can boot your machine in native DOS environment. DOS prompt in WINDOWS won't work!
2. lite-on-erase.exe (a.k.a l_o_eras.exe). We found the lite-on-erase.exe is the best tool in DOS to erase your Lite-On firmware. This is part of [iXtreme 1.5]
3. DOSFLASH.exe. Use this to flash the Lite-on in DOS mode. This is part of [iXtreme 1.5]
4. Spoofed lite-on firmware. Don't have it yet? Follow Spoof XBOX 360 Lite-on DVD drive firmware to get the spoofed firmware

Step 1: Prepare

In this step you need to have all required files on the bootable media. This including DOSFLASH.exe, lite-on-erase.exe and spoofed firmware. The reason for have all files in the bootable media is because that most Windows nowdays use NTFS file system, the standard Win98 DOS cannot access it.

Now you are back to the main screen again. You will notice that the icon is changed from non-bootable to bootable (top-right side). Now browse the DOS folder of iXtreme 1.5, hold CTRL key and select Dosflash.exe, dosflash.typ and l-o-eras.exe, drag and drop these files to the window above:
