Programs you’ll need
Jungle Flasher 1.65
Openkey - http://www.pothsprojects.com/viewtopic.php?f=137&t=731

Connect the Lite-on to your pc like usual with the tray in half open mode. Open JF 1.65 go to DVDKey 32 tab and click on the Create 83 Extract and click ok. Once it tells you to “Move the tray to the full open position” with your hand pull the tray out fully then click ok. Save the files. Now in windows hit start run and type cmd. The command prompt will come up the file directory that shows up is where you need to drop the D608CG833907010F0.bin file or whatever yours is called. Download openkey and save it on the desktop. Now in the command prompt type Desktop\openkey\openkey.exe D608CG833907010F0.bin then hit enter. Your key should pop up in numbers and letters in groups of two write it down.

If you get this error, then you have a bad key and need to use method 2

METHOD 2

If you got the error above, then you simply need to use the L083info_32.exe program to get the proper bin file. Check jungle flasher to see what port your SATA card is using for your drive. Example of what you would type:

LO83info_32 0FD00

You will then be presented with a bin file of something like D609CG92690700FDF.bin

At this point, go back to openkey and run it against your new bin file and you should get something like this:

At this point open jungle flasher back up. You may want to test with a spare drive first to make sure this works to prevent bricking your drive!!

Load iexteme as target and choose manual spoof. Paste the key that openkey gave you in the top and then type in the barcode key into the second box followed by 3 spaces. In the drop down choose Lite-on 83850C and hit okay.

Go to the MTKflash tab and write your drive as usual. Test and confirm your spoofed drive works. Once confirmed you can dump that firmware and send a lite-on erase and flash like you normally would a lite-on. I have personally tested this and it does work fine. Post any questions.

yep. Flashed one last week. Best to test on a spare drive if you have one. This will all be in JF in due time.

Yeah, the reason I say this is because the first time it gave me a bad key that looked good.

For those who are curious. The newest version of Jungle flasher now has everything built in. The LO83info walks you through step by step with half try open and then full. Then just flash as usual as a lite-on. I did 3 of the new lite-on's in the last couple days with no problems.
