LiteOn IHAS324 Firmware Issue

[inspectaclueso]

Hi there,

I have the above drive and after using the find new firmware feature in ImageBurn decided to flash my drive with a more recent version.

I downloaded the BL1N from http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHAS324/files.html as my current version was BL1H. After the upgrade now in ImageBurn Tools > Drive is greyed out?

If I try to downgrade I either get...



Or after a bit of mucking around I can downgrade back to BL1H however the Drive tools are still greyed out in ImageBurn?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Jason

It's greyed out when you're on the Ez-Mode picker screen... because no drive is actually active at that point.

Pick a mode and then it'll work - oh and go back to the BL1N firmware

Thanks heaps for the reply!

Ummm.... okay... I feel stupid now After selecting a mode like you suggested the Drive function is now available.

I have re-flashed to BL1N on your advice.

Previously, after reading another forum I used SmartPack to upgrade the drive and it pulled down BL1P? I haven't seen that floating around anywhere else? I can make it available if you want to take a look?

Feel free to attach that firmware version in a post.

I have uploaded it here...

It is a zipped .bin file.

I can upload it elsewhere if you have trouble downloading it.

I wonder, how did you downgrade ?
I upgraded my IHAS224 to GL0B but i need to go back to GL0A...

thx in advance

It's been a long long time since I did it but from memory you should just be able to search for the firmware you want...

Lite-On iHAS224 B GL0A Firmware Download - Firmware HQ

Download it and run the updater.
