Hi, I was wondering if someone has created either an RPC1 or RPC2 auto-reset firmware for this drive. It is a laptop drive used in the Acer Aspire 5739G (and presumable other Acer laptops). I'd like to provide a link to the official firmware, but I'm not really sure where to find it. I will of course dump the firmware from my own drive if someone points me towards the application to do this. Thanks. Quote: DISCINFO VERSION : 1.7.0 BETA.12

I have the same dive build in an ASUS M60J Notebook.
The FW Revisision here is AS02.
I think this are OEM FW's. Will retail FW's work if there is one?
On the LG Webpage is no info about this drive.

Sorry for the slow reply, I have been preoccupied with exams.
I was not able to extract the firmware with the above programs I'm afraid, though I will have another attempt tonight.

The GT30N uses a Panasonic chipset and firmware type, so the dumper will not work here.
Edit: I have already updated the MCSE RPC1 patch to match the GT30N firmware, but have to valid it first.

^I noticed you've just released a new version, that supports the GT20N. Does it also support the GT30N?

Does anyone know where to obtain a firmware for this drive (or how to extract one from my own drive)? I will obviously report here if the patch appears to work.

I patched my Asus-LG GT30N from AS02 to ASS2.
I use MCSE 1206 newest version and enabled RPC1 and Read speed incrase for the bin-file.
At the exe-file I enabled standalone flasher.
Than I got the files: R5_ASS2_speedpatched.exe + R5_ASS2_speedpatched.bin
Next I start the exe file choose the bin file an booted the notebook.
After that DISC info shows:
DriveRegionStatus Lock Detected
RegionSettingStatus Set
Changes left 4
Manufactor resets 4
Current Region 2
Is this normal that a lock is detected?

Is this normal that a lock is detected? No, the lock is not normal for an RPC1 firmware. Did you directly flash from AS02 to the RPC1 patched ASS2 without flashing the official ASS2 before ? Do you see ASS2 as the current firmware revision ?

No at firtst I flashed only the bin file and not the exe file to standaloneflascher.
Than i could not choose a bin file and saw with 7z that the exe file includes the fw too so i think i flshed first the offical fw.
Second i flssh the ext to standalone flascher and could choose my speedpatched bin file.
Yes I can see ASS2 as current FW - see DiscInfo output:
DISCINFO VERSION : 1.7.0 BETA.12
VENDOR : HL-DT-ST
MODEL : DVDRAM GT30N
REVISION : ASS2
VENDOR SPECIFIC : 09/07/08 7U01
LOADING MECHANISM : Tray
SERIAL NUMBER : ---
NUMBER VOL. LEVELS : 255
BUFFER SIZE : 1024KB
INTERFACE : ATAPI
RPC2 SCHEME : YES
STATUS : Set
USER CHANGES : 4
VENDOR CHANGES : 4
CURRENT REGION : 2
But it shows at DriveRegionStatus: Lock Detected as with original ASS2 FW.
I can pay RC 2 DVD's without problems. Other Regions I havent't to test at the moment.

The firmware for my drive is apparently '1.01', which differs greately from 'ASS2'. I have no idea if they are actually different firmwares, though Asus's patcher correctly identifies my existing firmware as 1.01. I can't seem to find an Acer-specific firmware on their page, though I will of course do some digging on the net.
