    Carranzafp/Maximus released a modified version of the Lite-On iXtreme v1.6 to work with the 83850-v2 and 93450 drives.

    He Wrote: “Just finished hexediting and testing. Here are templates for Ixtreme 1.6 for 83V2 and 93450 liteon firmwares what you need to do is place your keys/serials on it and flash
    use Jungleflasher or Hexedit, whatever, keep you original stored for future upgrades.

    Dont ask why you got banned if you play Online with this firmware, its 1.6, also I just tested with 2 consoles so its your call the fws are based on the 83v1 ixtreme 1.6 I could have do it based on the 74 but Its the first I saw, dont think based on the 74 would make them safer anyway.”

    In related news, MRA released a new and better method to dump/read those Lite-On 83850-v2 and 93450 drives:

    No pin lifting or epoxy removing needed anymore! Just solder anything on the back according to this picture.
    Also if you got status 0×52 instead of 0×72 with the “1,8V-method” this should do it. I already dumped 4 drives with this method without any issues.


    -switch it to position 1
    -power the drive
    -start Dosflash –> SPI should get recognized with status 0×72
    -switch to position 2
    -click “read”

    Unsolder anything and reconnect the lines that have been cut.
