IF you boot from a CD you cant write a backup of your original firmware! Dos boot disc wont read your NTFS formatted HDD so you cant write it there either.

And if you guys cant read the sticker that says Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology TS-H943 then we cant help you.

Though I can see how Hitachi and Toshiba can be mixed in our minds. Both well known but relatively similar brands and names.

I'm really amazed how people easily forget the past... Just a few xbox consoles had been banned... And so on...People that don't have the basic know-how of anything that states: how the hell can MS have a database of all FW's since each key is unique... For Christ sakes, come on, it is just a matter of skipping the key area of the flash while executing the CRC routine, this has been done in years for different devices. The drive can give out most of the flash memory dump, this can be checked and a fake firmware can't have all this stored, just doesn't fit in the flash.... There are hundreds, if not thousands of ways to check the authenticity of the drive. It is just a matter of doing. Ok, let's cut out all diagnostic commands, MS says, ok, let's ban all consoles without diagnostic commands.... The author of the hack knows that it is possible to detect it, he has said so, but still there are a lot of members of this forum that think that know a lot and doesn't know A THING and are encouraging this hack. For me, no problem if MS just doesn't care at all, I won't die or something like that... Just that there are a lot of people here with wrong ideas and saying that this is unstopable and so... I would realy appreciate if those would bet their ass on this, or even better, would they pay you a new 360 if your is banned?

Just one common misconception, that if I turn off the network it is ok... Is it ok, really? In the past, the dashboard was not running in background to warn you about your friends online, now it is.... Just start wondering what the dashboard can start do while running in background... You could re-flash your drive with the original firmware (or just have a switch to select firmwares) but still be banned.... They never did that in the past, but this doesn't mean they won't do... Like with the hard disks.... Everyone was happy saying MS would never check for that...

If you want to run the risk, ok, but don't think that someone saying that it is safe, unstoppable and you will never be banned is enough.... We have seen a lot of users being banned because of thinking they were safe when they weren't, it was just a matter of updating something...

how do you find out if your dvd burner can set the booktype to dvdrom?

i have a plextor 716a.

also, where does it say toshiba samsung storage technology? i have never bought an xbox 360.

On the sticker on the top of the drive. But check the photo on the front page to see the disc trays.. its easy to see which is which. The Hitachi tray is full of round holes where the samsung has no such holes. Also the hitachi has the "decepticon" eyes at the front right behind the chrome bezel.

By the looks of it, these boot cds are ntfs compatible. Not quite sure if it means it can read/write to an NTFS formatted drive or not though

Ok.. Now somebody needs to start a site like the xbox1, to start collecting model/serial No#/dates... To start comparing what type of drives/chips sets ect... come in what systems... Or has this already started???

[mksoftware]

Waiting for the Hitachi hack, but I don't think it will come out anytime soon...

Most people probably have the darn Samsung ... I wish I bought the 360 a little later

"Waiting for the Hitachi hack, but I don't think it will come out anytime soon..."

According to a good source related to this first hack, it will be out very soon.

[crs7952]

dont say a reliable source it makes you and everyone that says it sound full of $hite... if its someone on here or XBH put there username u clown. Then people can ask and find posts about it.

[Questioner]

Dude, get a clue, look earlier in the thread, the only thing holding up the release of the hitachi firmware is getting xbox 1 games to work. This according to the Admin on Foros360.com, who knows his crap when it comes to recent developments.

i think you need to get a clue man.. if you talking about thespecialist firmware, it wasnt held up. he was just to scared to release it (or just wanted to be the only one that can sell xbox 360 mods hahaha)

[Questioner]

I am not talking about the specialists work. I think I will go with what that site is saying over your opinion.

[TerminatR]

I don't see what the big deal is, if you have a hitachi drive, simply buy a new 360 with the samsung drive and return your old 360 with the new receipt.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Then you have a 2nd generation 360 that is less likely to get owned by the blinking red lights of death.

Worked for me.....if you are gonna be dishonest, might as well go the full mile.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif)

yeah and who is your good source? our team developed our own hack before this one was even released, i think i know what im talking about. im sure it will only be a matter of a day or two before one of the other teams releases something as well. there is more then one team that used this hack sucessfully and im sure anyone over at the xbox hacker forums will confirm this.
