Allow a firmware to flash ANY drive with FLASHFIX
The firmware update utility of Liteon/Jlms drives will sometime refuse to flash the drive.
E.g: It will not allow to "downgrade" the firmware or to reflash with the same firmware version
and it will refuse most OEM and all rebadged drives.
The Flashfix utility will patch many Liteon/Jlms Windows based firmware utilities so as to allow them to flash ANY drive.
It does not change the firmware itself, it only disables the model/version checkup function of the flasher.
We know it works for all Ltd-165/166 firmware and with most Liteon CDRW firmware too!!
As of now it will NOT patch the ltd122/163 dvd range.
If you need such a fix, just try it. If it can't patch, it will tell you!
It is very simple and quick to run but it's up to you not to do anything stupid with it!
Just make 100% sure the firmware you patch is compatible with your drive, and when you run
the actual flash be absolutely sure to select the right drive.
WARNING: The firmware you fix will "agree" to flash ANY drive on your system!
If you select a wrong drive from the drop-down menu it might damage that drive!
Flashfix will first make a backup and then patch the firmware utility.
Now you can proceed to flash your drive the normal way.

A VERY handy util this by the looks of it.
Also a great colection of LiteOn firmwares and info here:- http://digitri.tk/ This guy seems to really know his stuff.
