Actually I found the document this guy used:
xp got a blue screen and shut down
(I tried to update the firmware but i did not read the readme file and I did this with the DVD room, in the IDE-1 and in slave --- the readme.txt tells to update the firmware with the dvd-room in the IDE-2 as master and with no other devices in the same cable..........(My dvd-room does not even turn on and the bios does not detect it) is there anyway to fix it?
I wish I could get some help, thanks
and sorry about my stupidness

solution is easy, even most of the peoples think there's not.
just download Je3.exe , and unpack GCC5421B106.exe or lower,
and put together je3.exe and ide.hex from .exe file into c disk, but your disk must be fat32 for this work, or you can conect you drive to another, older computer, with win95/98.
then, go into DOS (real, not emulate!), best booting from diskette.
run je3.exe with ede.hex file,
you wil see on the screen a strange model of the drive, but you just continue, this je3.exe is only way, (You are using a right firmware, remember this).
aprox 3 min later your combo drive will flashing and then you can safe restart your computer.
this is the only solutions!
if you have some questions, just ask.

**************************
i had a he** of a time doing this, but got it resolved. my combo drive failed the flash as the system shutdown while in the process of flashing. i had to get a floppy drive...i also had to convert a portion of the hardrive to fat32 from NTFS...it and booted with a win98 floppy disk from bootdisk.com. from there i had to look for the je3.exe file. the firmware were from LGs site. Thanks to this information posted, because i was ready to throw the drive out of the windows.

I download MtkWinFlash, but I not found flash file in .bin or .hex format. Where I found this flash file for GCC-4521B? In LG site I found just win programs and not bin/hex.
Tks!

Hi. I too had a error while updating my LG GCC-4521B drive and have finally got it working thanks to this forum.
I tried out with je3.exe as asked to do by nekakav (Thank you very much!). Herez wot i did
1. I searched for the file "je3.exe" in google and found this link in some page which i cudnt understand (was not in english). Herez the link.
http://www.overclockers.com.au/articles/76277/Je3.exe
I copied the file into "C:\temp"
2. I downloaded the firmware update from the LG site. Herez how i got to the link
http://us.lgservice.com/ --> Product Support --> Device Driver --> Combo Drive --> I selected Windows Xp version GCC-4521B firmware
Though the file has a .exe extenstion its a SFX Zip archive. I unzipped using WinRar (WinZip will also do) by right clicking and selecting "extract to here"
I got 2 files. One a readme file n other a ".exe" file. I cud even extract this ".exe" file using winrar. Therez the hidden ".hex" file which you asked for (ide.hex).
I copied all the files into "C:\temp"
3. I booted using a DOS diskette without CD-ROM support and changed the prompt to "C:\temp". Here i typrd "je3 /?" to find out wot all options i had. Heres wot i got
usage 1 : JE3 [FILE_NAME.HEX]
usage 2 : JE3 [FILE_NAME.HEX] [PORT_NUMBER] /m
[FILE_NAME.HEX] : ***.HEX
[PORT_NUMBER] :
1 - Primary Master
2 - Primary Slave
3 - Secondary Master
4 - Secondary Slave
/m is Boot mode Option
I have my drive connected as secondary slave. So I used je3 like this
je3 ide.hex 4 /m
And after a minutes, to my joy the LED of the drive started twinkling to life!
Think you should use /m if u have booted with a DOS diskette like me.
Hope this post will be of some help to you. Cheers. Bye.

Thanks gautham!!
It was these detailed instructions I wanted before upgrading the firmware. Now I am assured that if anything goes wrong, there's a way to solve the problems.
But I honestly hope I don't need it!!
