Introduction
Here's a tuto to help you flash your Samsung drive. In this tuto, we're going to use the X360USB, but if you connect it directly via SATA to your motherboard (if it's compatible) or to your PCI Sata VT6421A card, the principle stays pretty much the same. Required files

Dump of your original firmware
Now this is where things get serious. Launch jungle flasher and go to the MTK Flash 32tab. If you're using the x360usb, you need to check the USB Only box, and if that's not the case, simply look for your PCI card then run a detection of your drive.

The procedure is a bit different depending on the type of drive (in this tuto, it's an MS28).

For MS25 drives, you just need to click on the Intro / Device ID.

button and your drive will switch to vendor mode and you'll be able to extract your dvd key.

For MS28 drives, you need to click on the Sammy Unlock.

button. A window opens, click on YES and your drive will switch to vendor mode.

Special case during a flash update (Do an Intro / Device ID)

Method 1: This method consists of inserting the famous dvd, the Activate.iso, for drives that have already been flashed with iXtrem 1.4. Thanks to this dvd, you can unlock your drive and switch it to vendor mode.

Method 2: This method concerns drives that are on a version higher than iXtrem 1.4. You need to half-open your drive, plug and unplug your drive's power until you get the right status and your drive is in vendor mode.

Flashing your drive
Jungle flasher will load your original firmware in the firmware tool 32 tab and ask you to automatically load your iXtrem firmware, click on no. Go find the LT 2.0.1 firmware yourself by clicking on Open target firmware.

IMPORTANT STEP: Now your two firmwares are loaded, you still need to click on the Spoof source to target button in order to copy your dvd key.
