While atempting to flash with JF and PMT I got the phat key extrction failed message and now the drive is totally dead and is no longer recognized. I do not have a dump of this drive. I did not plug the drive in upside down and there was no sparks or smoke. I havent flashed a lite-on in a long time and I have no idea what to do now. I sort of remember recovering one in DOS a long time ago but I dont remember how. Please help.

unfortunately if you have bricked the drive you have lost the data on it ie your DVD key.

does the drive eject etc when placed into console?

need more info ie how you are powering the drive, type of probe etc

if your dashboard kernel is below 14717 and you have a RGH compatible model you can RGH it to get the data back

did you turn it off and on a couple times then refresh the drive in jungle flasher?

The drive does not eject. I have power cycled the drive several times. I am using a home built connectivity device I have used many times before. The drive has not been erased, I only got as fat as the phatkey extract when my PC turned itself off. I rebooted the PC and the drive has been unresponsive since. I have a coolrunner rev. B but I cant seem to find a decent guide to RGH without a usb device like nand-x and all I have is a Lpt jtag cable.

try using a different connectivity kit.

I have two, both work fine on other drives. The drive work power up from the console either. Its totally comatose. Im working on RGH right now to get the key but I cant find a program to build and flash the nand. What I really need now is good all in one program to get xell on it thats work with and LPT cable as I dont have a usb device.

look into jrunner. it is as noob friendly as it gets.

Jrunner will program the glitch chip via lpt but I saw no option to read/write the nand, only usb. I used 360-hackbox to get xell going but it wouldnt create a freeboot image for some reason, so I did that part with jrunner and flashed with 360-hackbox. The drive is still dead but its not needed now, thanks for the help.
