Fast, do you mean i have to restore the stock firmware before updating the dash (i can understand in cases where a non-Liteon drive has been spoofed to be a Liteon)? but if it's a Liteon drive with hacked Liteon firmware, surely the new dash will just rewrite your firmware to the new version anyway?*just to make it complete updating through these new dashes requires some fiddling that earlier updates did not. First you have to drop back to a stock firmware for the drive (if your drive had multiple original firmwares of the same base type- the 7 series liteon for example it does not matter what one of those you use), allow it to update (if you are offline I would use a USB drive with the update on) to the new stock firmware as well as dashboard, make sure it boots up and then flash it with a new hacked firmware.
