![]() Firmware Blade V Ultra Upgrade To AIf youre using Internet Explorer 9 or earlier, you will need to use an alternate browser such as Firefox or Chrome or upgrade to a newer version of internet Explorer (IE10 or greater).Not that it REALLY matters since Mike is going to support the latest firmware versions soon. However recently the firmware downgrade method using SPI access via vendor ATA commands (a.k.a. ![]() Guides on our forum written by fellow members are also based on this method. This method is highly dangerous ( please see viewtopic.phpf16t18857 ) but is used widely because this is the only method that is publicly available. To stop the painful drive abuse I have to divulge some information. Normally I avoid doing so, but the current insanity has to be stopped. Here is my guide how to downgrade any MTK firmware using only official flashing app. No dosflash, no direct flash write, no meddling with IDE controller settings. This is important step - the official update BIN is needed, not a dump of any sort or cleaned dump. Normally official flasher would refuse to downgrade firmware from latest versions - the so-called Write DRAM NG 052400 error. For example ASUS drive with 3.03 firmware would refuse to flash firmware 3.0 (present in archive from link above). A custom step is required to make the old firmware flash-able on a latest-firmware drive. Here are instructions for the super-duper-secret-mega hack that would allow flashing the old firmware into drives with latest firmware: Open the firmware BIN file with a hex editor. In fact on all (old) firmwares the bytes just before this byte have some distinct values, and all bytes after this byte are FFs. Change just this single byte (at location 0x1ec056) from 0xFF to 0xDE (downgrade enable). With this byte changed, the firmware will be accepted by drives with latest firmware, allowing downgrade using official flasher. No checksums, no digital signatures, nothing. Just. One. Byte. If anyone wants to make a community service and post official firmware images with this byte patched, you are welcome to do so in this thread. There is no doubt that as with UHD support, in a few days the respectable commercial firmware downgrade utilities would stop requiring changing the setting of IDE controller and would start working with USB drives. SPI bus access via vendor ATA is a firmware-controlled feature, not a hardware interface. There is no doubt that in response to mainstream usage of this interface, it will be disabled in upcoming firmware versions, making life significanty difficult for everyone. This works with SATA AHCIRAID, IDE, and over USB Big thanks to mike admin wrote: Wed Feb 06, 2019 12:17 pm for letting us know where to edit And Big thanks to. Billycar11, Are these bin files extracted from the official LG Firmware Update tools As Mike said, dumps or cleaned dumps of any sort are not suitable. If you have the official LG firmware updaters could you please upload them. Thanks. This is fantastic.well, for now. Does anyone happen to have a bin file for the NS60 1.00 firmware Amazing. WOA First off, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Mike, for posting this information.
