Please note that this is NOT a firmware hack for a lite-on drive. [ Ссылка ] It is just a way to retrieve the key from the drive for use with another drive. Getting the key is awesome and its more than enough even without the ability to reflash the liteon.

UPDATE --- This tutorial is only useful for 74850C LiteOn drives. For 83850C v1 drives, no extra hardware is needed, only a SATA connection. For 83850C v2 and 93450C drives you need to do the MRA hack, which involves cutting and soldering traces on the drives board. The MRA hack can be used on 74850C drives also (and has the added advantage of dumping the full firmware, not just the key and identity info) ---
making all the required hardware from scratch. its a relatively simple circuit, but does require using a soldering iron to assemble the circuit. if you have never used one, go read a soldering guide and practice soldering some wires together or something.'tinning' the wire in this project is essential, so learn how to do it.
opening the xbox will void your warranty yada yada. if you screw up it is possible that you could break your xbox. if you erase your dvd drive without first getting a good key your xbox will become a $300 dvd player.
all that out of the way, this tutorial is designed to save you the hassle and money of buying one of the commercial tools (xecuter ck3 + probe or maximus xtracotor + spear) which cost upwards of $40.
So first thing first: Make the rs232 hardware. this is the hardest part, and where most people stuff it up! You need an NPN transistor and two resistors (10K and 1K). which can both be found in old hardware. Computer monitors, VCR's, TV's and radio's are treasure troves of resistors capacitors and signal transistors. alternatively you can buy these parts from an electronics shop.
The circuit is a Simple signal inverter, which is required to convert between TTL and RS232 levels.
its not strictly rs232 levels (+/- 3V), but most serial ports probably won't mind. if you are worried about this, try a Max232 or Max3232 circuit (much more complex to construct). Old Siemens serial phone cables have max3232 circuits inside.
