so does anyone know how to do it? I was reading on Doom9 forums that u need these files from vids.rar still dont know how to rip! anyone?
EDIT: Seems I'm a little behind on the news, this is what they have been doing before, now it's a whole different ballgame Information below still stands for hacked firmware, only you don't need one anymore (IMG:

You need to extract your HD-DVD drive's firmware, hexedit in the key, and flash it, same procedure as the normal DVD drive on the xbox360 with the xtreme firmwares and such.
Only problem now is, the firmware cannot be read yet, only by desoldering the chip and sticking it in a programmer can one read the firmware and extract the drivekey. You need the drivekey just like you need it on your normal drive. You can't just flash somebody else's firmware, because it has a wrong drivekey.
The guys over at doom9 and xboxhacker are working on the CDB commands to extract the firmware without desoldering the chip.
Another problem is in the checksum, the firmware is XOR-ed and SUMmed, these 2 have to match, so if you change one bit, the XOR and SUM change, for every bit you change in the firmware you have to change another somewhere else. If the checksum does not match, the firmware is rejected by the drive.
They tried to rewrite the bootloader to bypass these checks but it seems the bootloader is not flashed with the firmware so they are trying to find the command to flash the bootloader.
That's basically all I know about this, one thing I do know is that I'm gonna wait for these problems to be sorted. (IMG:
