what samsung drives will take a kreon firmware

[roryson]

im interested in flashing a sammy with kreon, what drive model will take the kreon firmware.. cheers guys..

[roryson]

ok, quite simple really, made a silly mistake. looked on bay and seen its samsung sh-d162. where would you find the KREON FW..??

[roryson]

found the FW for the SH-D162C-D and SH-D163A-B


is it worth the effort of buying the drive to flash, i have a sammy MS28 with 0800 FW but only rips at 1x. any ideas people....??

[roryson]

?12.30 inc vat from a uk site for the D162D. worth a crack..???

buy a liteon/benq or another sammy , as it`s not recommended using a kreon drive now due to it only doing ssv1.

As long as you use abgx on the iso its fine. Just patch it to ssv2 yourself.

Dont xbc only rip at 1x? And no need to rip any faster Rory mate.

[roryson]

how do u go about flashing to ssv2..?

[kryptic]

The drive will do that automatically , if you are using the 800 firmware.

[roryson]

also, when i ripped black ops i got the msg saying this is not a true 1 to 1 copy of the image. what does that mean. why isnt it a 1 to 1 copy...??

[kryptic]

You will never get a true 1:1 copy , that`s why abgx patches the image

[roryson]

ok, cheers. what rip speeds do u get m8?

[kryptic]

cant remember off-hand , but it takes about 13mins , i set it to X12 in back up creator. I know my samsung is slower than my liteon and benq for ripping.
ok, cheers. what rip speeds do u get m8?

[roryson]

mine is set to 12x but it takes over an hour

[kryptic]

lol that`s a bit long , i think my sammy used to take about 20/25 minutes , that`s why i use a liteon or benq now.

[roryson]

so it maye be worth getting a different drive other than a sammy

[kryptic]

Yes i would as you can pick them up fairly cheap.

Anytime mate

I rip mine at 4x and burn a 4x (slower but no probs with reading) Also recommend Benq drives easy to flash and can recover from bad flashes as well as reading all media you throw at it.

I have a Samsung SH-D162 drive, if anybody wants to buy it, PM me quickly because I am about to sell my computer which has that drive.
