Come on guys, someone has to have one of these drives they can connect to their computer. All you have to do is:
1: Connect Power to the Drive Choice #1: Splice into the yellow wires to provide power from the computer. Choice #2: Connect the yellow wires to your xbox, connect the ide cable to your computer and power them both on.
2: Use either the dos prompt, or a dos boot disk to load the exe I will send you.
3: Send me the bin file generated by the exe.
4: I send the bin to the Dangerous Brothers
5: They send us a flashable copy back, and we are in business.

Since the only person to answer my request didn't leave me his email, I will make this easier. The file is legal, so I will put it into my yahoo shared folder under xbox. It is titled dwld8163.zip. Once you have successfully made a backup of the 8050's firmware, you can send me the bin at either lentesubigo@yahoo.com or lentesubigo@gmail.com, or both to make sure I get it.

out of interest and not wanting to rain on your parade......
but does anyone know the 4 pinouts for the pc LG drives then without using NANDgates ?
tray in tray out eject ready
hope the LG xbox firmware can be pulled off easier than the Tosh/Samsung 605F - that 605F can not be backed up via mtkflash like the 605B or many other drives
If NAND gates are still needed for LG drives then it may not be quite a quick fix/project
would be intersted in your findings and think you might ask stitch626 - he knows a lot about replacement dvd drives and was also trying to find a 605f replacement drive too but firmware was a bitch on that
