IDK how so many people depend on the filesets, you don't need them to make the CFW. Yes, the fileset is an awesome idea and makes the job easier and a tad bit quicker, but you don't need to depend on them. I spend a lot of time on IRC patrol for the Lizard and myself and all the other full timers grow very tired of being asked "when's the fileset come out?"
So, I'm gonna attempt to at least lower the amount of those questions hopefully you all read this
I'm gonna explain a fileset real quick in case you don't know what it is. It's just a container, Max takes all the current OFW/CFW and puts it in one container. See the Toolbox knows what drive you dumped and it shows it at the top after you read the drive and go to the CFW Generator in the Source/Base Firmware area
Then you choose a fileset, either original or custom, in the Destination/Target Firmware area.
Since the Toolbox knows what drive you dumped it searches the fileset to find the corresponding OFW or CFW for that drive so you don't have to. This is the part we are going to skip since we don't have the fileset.
I REALLY WANT YOU ALL TO SEE THAT ALL YOU ARE DOING W/O A FILESET IS BROWSING FOR A .BIN FILE, IT'S VERY EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ALSO WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING. WE DUMP DRIVES TO GET THE KEY, RIGHT? BUT WHY?...TO PUT IT IN A CUSTOM FIRMWARE THAT PLAYS BACKUPS! SO THE SOURCE IS YOUR KEY THE TARGET IS A BLANK CFW THAT YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR KEY INTO. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
Ok, on the advanced view tab it's the same as easy view with a few extra lines that you don't even need to mess with. The top part is the same Source/Base Firmware is where your dummy or source file goes(the one with your key) so click the load firmware fw button and browse for the dummy or source file you dumped, it will auto load if you just used the file get.
Next is the destination/target firmware section(this is the blank cfw that you insert your key in)
Now for this you need to download the iXtreme pack (http://hotfile.com/d...e_Pack.rar.html) This link will obviously change when updates come out but either jump in the maximuslizard IRC and ask, autoxbins, or our good friend Google. These packs are zipped, so extract them somewhere you can find them.
Now this is the part that confuses people but if you have some common sense you can figure it out I promise. You need to find the cfw bin that matches your drive since the fileset isn't there to do it for you. The problem is that the way they are named is kinda confusing, I personally think they could be named better but w/e. First of all when you extract them you get several folders but what you want is the "Firmware" folder ignore the 0800 and stock.
Everything says LTPlus so ignore that you are looking for the numbers after that.
For example if you have a Hitachi 59 use LTPlus-59-2.0 Hitachi 47 LTPlus-47-2.0(all PHAT Hitachis are the 32-79-4e10)
PHAT LiteOn's after dash 13146 are now 02510 so you would need the LTPlus-0251-v3.0...you see the trend in the naming yet? No?...Ok
Slim LiteOn 0272 is LTPlus-0272-v3.0, now there is 1 slim that may confuse you is the 0225/0225u the difference is on the case of the drive. If it says 0225 on the top then it's 0225 but if it says 9504 but the dummy ID's it as an 0225 it's an 0225u.
I hope that cleared up picking the target file, it's just a matching game.
There's only 2 things left now.
1-Click the "Copy data from Source to Destination" button on the right hand side. This is what takes your key and inserts it into the CFW
2-Click the "CFW Save as.." button
That's it you made the newest CFW w/o the fileset! It's easy and there is no reason to wait for the fileset if you don't want to.
Sorry for the rant I have explained that to a lot of people over the past few f/w updates

I tried this last night
but the physical drive slot was empty and saying SPOOFED at the end

is it safe to still save your firmware in a state like this and it be safe ?

thanks

dave

ps or you could use jungleflasher to load your source and it will auto load the new lt plus if u have the firmware in teh firmware folder
save file out and flash with ya lizrd
thats how i did it

all good now

thanks

[vgcrepairs]

jungle flasher or the advanced tab, same exact file is made, just cause you click SPOOF, doesnt mean your spoofing.

Spoofing is when your physically changing drive manufactures which no longer works since dash 13146
