Saw this on another site.

Cool news indeed!

We would also like to take a minute today to share some cool X-Box 360 news... Last night we received word from an old friend that he now has Flasher Software working on the 8163B DVD, and after some testing with the X-Box 360 3120L drive he intends to share it publically! More to come on this soon, and check below for additional Site News updates as they are available!

Update: 9th April 2006

I desoldered, dumped and then reprogrammed my flash chip with a hardware programmer. The drive now lives, ready to be used and abused once more. The dump confirmed that I had erased my flash entry point code. I fixed the erase code to only erase one sector on 4KB sector devices (I just puts nops over the second erase sequence). I also modified my sector flasher to work with both 4KB and 8KB sectors (just in case the Hitachi ever ships with 8KB sector flash chips, as the firmware erase routine suggests it might do). Because I now have to account for uploading an 8KB sector, I had to modify the hard coded RAM accesses in the erase/program routines again. This time from 80002XXX to 80003XXX. This prevents those routines from corrupting the second half of the 8KB sector data that we upload to RAM.

Here's the working sector flasher.

Please read the warnings and instructions on this page before attempting to use this app!

I assume he got it working now, he contains a download link for the flash.
