411s@811s EEPROM modification to improve upgrade:
i) Things to be aware of:
- This modification technique fixes the MAJOR problems with the other methods. DVD-R (minus or negative) writing @ 2X and 4X is now possible with 411S@811S. It fixes the freeze on lead out issues that were synonumous with the previous modification technique. It goes without saying, it also fixes 8x writing with correct 8x write strategy.
- An EEPROM is like a drives unique fingerprint ľ it is fine tuned for any given drive. Putting a real 811S EEPROM right onto your 411S is just plain silly.
- This patcher corrects missing 8x calibration data, missing from the 411S drives.
- This EEPROM patcher is NOT a checksum correction method. Hence, it will NOT allow you to use the REAL Liteon windows flashers, only the hacked ones. This will be addressed in another release in the future
- If you patch your EEPROM with this patch, you can go back to a 411S drive at any time via the use of LTNFlash and a .bin of the latest 411S firmware, or even a flashfixed official 411S Windows flasher.
- Lots of talk about the "Safe" tool has materialised. While this method if MUCH safer than the previous method of modification that originated from the Polish, nothing is totally safe. It is na´ve to think that ANY over clock is safe.
- As every laser diode is unique, every calibration is so. But it will work for 99% of people. The other 1% - this issue is being worked on
- At this time we do not know if ALL DRIVES laser diodes are rated for the needed power at 8x (ca. 30mW). It could potentialy be overpowered as it's only 4x rated (ca. 18mW). We will know one day if the first drives fail permanently. Its unlikely however.
ii) Instructions
- Backup current EEPROM using LTNFlash. Put it somewhere SAFE. To do this, run LTNFlash, select the 411S, go to the EEPROM tab then hit READ, then SAVE.
- Open patch tool executable
- Browse to where a backup of current EEPROM is located or drag and drop EEPROM file to patch tool window. It will make a safe backup copy of the original
- Once finished, run LTNFlash and using the EEPROM tab, LOAD the newly modified EEPROM into LTNFlash then WRITE the new newly modified EEPROM onto your drive.
- Reboot computer
Your EEPROM is now corrected for 8x +R writing.
NB: Remember - you need a HACKED firmware to successfully implement this modification. These are easily
found! At the time of writing HS0K (hacked) is easily attainable!
Finally - if you break/hurt/mame/destroy/melt your drive in the process of your tweaking/OCing adventures,
DONT be a selfish little twerp! BUY A NEW ONE - DONT WHINGE TO LITEON FOR A REPLACEMENT! YES, BUY A NEW ONE.
The company gives the enthusiast community a great deal of pleasure! The least you can do is be honest and
buy a new one if your adventures result in a nuked drive.
