Some people have said that the
Jungle Flasher tutorial seemed a bit confusing so I am
making this tutorial to make it a bit easier to
understand!
This image tutorial was created to show you how to
read and flash a stock Samsung MS28 with Jungle
Flasher.
The "Sammy Unlock" is to only be used on a
STOCK SAMSUNG
MS28. If you have a flashed MS28 or a
stock/flashed MS25, you will need to use the
Intro/Device ID method explained in the trouble
shooting steps"
Things you will need:
Jungle Flasher v0.1.64
iXtreme 1.6 for Samsung
Compatible SATA chipset
SATA cable.
PortIO installed (requires 32bit Operating
System)
.Net Framework 2.0 or higher
DVD connectivity kit (optional)
You can get .net framework, portIO, ixtreme 1.6 and
jungle flasher v 0.1.64 from
here. It is called xbins and you just go in and
find what you need. Trust me it is pretty easy to
figure out by yourself
Make sure to have iXtreme 1.6 for Samsung in the
firmware folder that is within the Jungle Flasher
folder so you can utilize the autospoof
feature!
If your onboard SATA is compatible, you can
skip the steps for removing the VIA
driver.
In this tutorial I am using a VIA SATA card with
the 6421 chipset.
I have removed the VIA
driver from C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers
folder.
To remove the VIA driver:
1. Disable VIA card in Device Manager.
2. Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers and remove
"viamraid.sys" or
"vsmraid.sys".
3. Re-Enable VIA card in Device Manager.
4. Re-Boot PC.
First you will want to check a couple of
things.
Make sure the VIA driver is not installed
by checking in Device Manager. Notice the yellow
exclamation mark.
You also need to have PortIO and .Net 2.0
or higher installed. PortIO is included with Jungle
Flasher and .Net can be obtained from
Microsoft.
Go ahead and power on your Samsung drive
with your connectivity kit or the XBOX 360.
Start up Jungle Flasher and go to the MTKFlash 32
tab. You might have to change the IO Port to find
your Samsung.
Once you find it, you should see the properties
listed under Drive properties.
Since this is a stock drive, you will want
to click Sammy unlock and you should see the
following in the picture.
Notice the Flash Chip properties and now the Drive
properties says Vendor Mode!
If you are having problems with Sammy Unlock, see
the troubleshooting pics at the bottom of the
tutorial
Go ahead and click READ and once it is complete
Jungle Flasher will prompt you to save your
firmware.
Save your firmware in a location where you won't
delete it or lose it!
Jungle Flasher will prompt you to autload
iXtreme firmware. Click YES.
This is the result of clicking YES. Jungle flasher will
autload iXtreme 1.6 for Samsung and spoof your
information over.
Double check your original firmware to make sure
you have a legitimate key.
Go back to the MTKFlash 32 tab and click
WRITE. It will
write banks 0, 1, 2, and 3. Then it will verify
banks 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Make sure that it says write verify
OK.
At this point you can click Outro/ ATA
reset.
Go ahead and shut off your connectivity kit or XBOX
360. Reconnect the drive and SATA cable and test
out a Back-Up copy!
---------------Problems with Sammy
Unlock?------------------
Sometimes the Sammy Unlock will
fail.
To get good flash chip properties, we need
to send the Intro to the Samsung drive, and then
power cycle to get into vendor mode.
After you click YES, Shut the drive off for 1
second and then power back on.
This is the result. Good flash chip
properties and ready to read
firmware.
Lite-on Drive
83850CLite-ON
CompatibleSATAchipset
SATA cable
PortIO installed (requires 32bit Operating System)
.Net Framework 2.0 or higher
CK3 Lite/PRO (optional)
Make sure to have iXtreme 1.6 for 83850C Lite-ON in
thefirmwarefolder that is within the Jungle Flasher
folder so you can utilize the autospoof feature! File
name:ix16-liteon838.bin
If your
onboard SATA is compatible, you can skip the steps for
removing the VIA driver.
In this tutorial I am using a VIA SATA card with the 6421
chipset.
I have removed the VIA driver from
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers folder to prevent a system
freeze when trying to erase the Lite-ON.
To remove the VIA driver:
1. Disable VIA card in Device Manager.
2. Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers and remove
"viamraid.sys" or "vsmraid.sys".
3. Re-Enable VIA card in Device Manager.
4. Re-Boot PC.
----------WARNING-------- When
decrypting the key of a 83850C Lite-ON, there is a chance
that the key can be corrupted, but it still may look valid.
The only way to truly know that it works is to spoof the
information you decrypted, to another drive and test it
out. If it plays a game, the key is good.Spoofing to another drive is optional,
but highly suggested!!
First you will want to check a couple of things.
Make
sure the VIA driver is not installed by checking in Device
Manager. Notice the yellow exclamation
mark.
You also
need to have PortIO and .Net 2.0 or higher installed.
PortIO is included with Jungle Flasher and .Net can be
obtained from Microsoft.
Go ahead
and power on your Lite-ON drive with your connectivity kit
or theXBOX
360.
Start up Jungle Flasher and go to the DVDkey 32 tab. You
might have to change the I/O Port to find your
Lite-ON.
Once you find it, you should see the properties listed
under Drive properties.
I unticked "DummybinOnly" so I could get the
Inquiry and Identify also.
Once you
have identified your Lite-ON, you will want to do the
following:
Click LO83.
It will prompt you to put put your drive in half tray
status (eject, shut off drive, push tray half way in, power
drive back on).
Next
prompt will ask you to eject the drive to the full open
position. (close the drive and then eject
it)
This info is very important. It contains
your encrypted DVDkey!
You must check to make sure you get the "In Dedication"
string.
If you don't, JF will not allow you to continue.
Go ahead and half tray your drive and power cycle so you
can obtain the Identify, Inquiry, and Dummy
bin.
Go ahead
and eject your tray fully (close and then
eject).
Jungle
Flasher will prompt you to save your Inquiry, Identify, and
Dummy bin.

Double check here to make sure you have a
good key!!
Jungle Flasher will prompt you to autload iXtreme
1.6
This is
the result of the autospoof.
Your DVDkey should be the same from the dummy bin to
ix1.6.
Go back
over to the MTKFlash tab and you are going to click Lite-ON
erase.
Jungle Flasher will prompt you 2 times. 1st prompt is about
the DVDkey and the 2nd prompt is about returning good flash
chip properties.
Pictured is the 2nd and last prompt. ClickYes.
As soon
as you clickYES, you will power cycle the drive. That
means shut it off for 1 second and turn it back on.
You should get good flash chip properties. (pictured is
MXIC, some will have Winbond/NEX)
Go ahead
and clickWRITE.
Once it
verifies OK, you can click Outro/ATA Reset and power off
the drive.
