[07:29] <c4eva> ix15 for sammy,benq,liteon has been marked final and are undergoing final testing!
[07:31] <c4eva> merry christmas everyone!

[07:34] <prankster> c4eva: are the flash tools for liteon cli or gui?
[07:34] <c4eva> both
[07:35] <c4eva> liteon truely is the best drive! very impressed!
2008-12-13
[23:38] <+c4eva> ixtreme 1.5 benq – fixed all read issues, now reads same
as liteon!
[04:14] <+c4eva> 0800 > kreon always!
[04:16] <+c4eva> 0800 for sammy,benq or liteon is best, oops last one not
released yet!
[04:20] <+c4eva> benq ixtreme 1.5 reading backups flawlessly now! on par
with sammy/liteon!
[04:21] <Kbone435> so what is left now c4eva?
[04:21] <+c4eva> sammy and always hitachi last
[04:25] <+c4eva> liteon is done coding, hence the benq update!
[04:26] <Caljfo> hey c4eva is there new checks that MS can do to ban 1.41 benq
or is it necessary to update to 1.5?
[04:26] <+c4eva> there will be a 0800 for liteon, so yes
[04:42] <+canolyb1> i guess samsung/benq doesnt give a fuck about booktype
[04:42] <+c4eva> booktype is not required for some time2008-12-08
[01:54] <c4eva> liteon reads backups nice n fast, no benqish problems!
[01:57] <c4eva> very much like sammy
[01:58] <c4eva> quiet as well
[02:02] <c4eva> spoof with a liteon, will be supported
[02:05] <c4eva> tested on assasins creed, no issues!
2008-12-07
[02:39] <c4eva> ALL SPOOFED LITEONS ARE EASILY DETECTABLE BY MS! EVEN BENQ! WILL NEED IX1.5!
[02:42] <c4eva> 1.5 will cater for hidden liteon MS command!
[02:47] <mjstriker> I have spoofed over 50 drives and I haven’t heard of
anyone being detected
[02:48] <c4eva> detected, not banned, that may come later
2008-12-05
(15:36:51) (+c4eva) onge:no, too busy for that, liteon beta testing this weekend!
(15:39:00) (+c4eva) key will still be via serial for now!
[04:30] <Rinoa> c4eva: u ony going to rlz single speed 12x from now on to
Samsung/Hitachi/BenQ/Lite-On drives?
[04:30] <Rinoa> sounds like MS could tell the speed
[04:30] <c4eva> Rinoa:Yes
[04:32] <c4eva> at present the serial is still needed to get the key, everything
else is software/sata
[04:35] <prankster> c4eva, do you ever see a non-solder solution for key
extraction, or is key always sent over tx?
[04:36] <RoCk-BoX> hey man , i just had a question, is running ixtreme 1.4 as
safe as its gunna get on live?
[04:36] <c4eva> 1.5 is better
[04:40] <dffdfd> is the lite-on beta testing this weekend for select members or
the general public?
A: it’s for a closed group of beta testers initially
[04:44] <c4eva> all flashing for liteon can be done in windows
[04:51] <c4eva> nxe is fine
[05:09] <Suuuuuup2> c4eva, how was the firmware originally dumped?
[05:09] <c4eva> it was decapped in acid!
[05:10] <Suuuuuup2> C4eva, kinda pointless asking, but will the new GUI replace
Toolbox ?
[05:11] <c4eva> suuuuup2:yes
[05:12] <c4eva> patching liteon with 1.5 as i speak here
[05:12] <Savior-X> so its been stated Xtractor is still needed.
[05:13] <c4eva> xtractor works well
[05:15] <Suuuuuup2> c4eva, is the lite-on firmware similar to Benq?
[05:16] <c4eva> no
[05:39] <p0tty> n e one try the spear yet for the liteon?
[05:39] <c4eva> p0tty:yes works well
[05:47] <c4eva> flashing liteon is easy. send wipe command then flash fw
[05:48] <Zheez> do you need to power the liteon drives on and off like you used
to have to with samsung/benqs?
[05:48] <c4eva> zheez:no
[05:49] <troubloso> so c4eva 1.5 will have new way to flash?
[05:49] <c4eva> troub:yes
[05:26] <liqwidsky> c4eva, what does the improved bad angle support in 1.5 do?
[05:30] <c4eva> it will ensure no more bad angle before jitter
[05:34] <liqwidsky> [...] is 1.5 doing something extra, like decrypting the
host ccrt and checking deviation?
[05:38] <c4eva> yes within deviation will not allow bad angles
