Use Flasher (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46137) to dump the firmware from your drive, take the main firmware dump you created, load it into ala42's MCSE, patch it by ticking the autoRPC2 box, save it, and then use Flasher to flash the patched firmware back to your drive. Do a full shutdown. Done!

Also please let us have a copy of your PQ06 firmware dump. Feel free to upload the file to a free host such as mediafire.com (no registration required) and then post the link here! Thanks!

Sorry, i'm new to this flashing thing. I've downloaded the Flasher Flasher (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46137), but is there a mac version for ala42's MCSE? because all i can only find the windows version. And it seems complicated, please explain more clearly.... Thank you very much!

only windows version. All you do is load the main firmware file into it and tick the autoreset box and save

When you have the firmware file you can patch it on any windows PC you can reach and then flash the patched file on your Mac to your drive.
