"the reason y you cant read the firmware on your IDE Devices is because you dont have MTKFlash edited for you IDE Chain"

Grim i already tried that, maybe i did a mistake....

Okay so here are my numbers...

okay,

got a short question about mtkflash

like i said i already altered my exe but here's one thing

on my NF4Sat2 the values are shown like this

00DE 1055 00E0 0960 0900

so the bold part is the correct value but it is not in 4 separate digit-blocks cause the first and the last 2 numbers of the value are in a "different" block.

Do i need to change that ?

Since I'm waiting for my Via PCI..I decided to play with my SIL3112 PCI. It seems this card, purchased only a month ago is way out of date (BIOS and Driver) many new advancments for IDE..perhaps flashing using the modified MTK_NF4 ?

Hey Guys,

just wanted to let u know i finally managed to extract the FW and flash the drive but it still doesn't work.

Here's how i did it:

Like stated before initially i booted from a PEN DRIVE (which was probaly the mistake) and saw the 360 drive in DOS but as soon as i selected it mtkflash hang up (gave me one line and then a blinking cursor).

So i did what PETER (thanx a lot, buddy) stated - i created a FAT32 partition on my HD placed all MTK Files there (in my case my hexedited MTKNF4 - the one that u sent me wouldn't work, Grim - but mine worked - THANX for your efforts anyway) and booted into DOS with Hirens Boot CD

Then i ran MTK from that Fat32 partition and i managed to extract the FW with the command

mtkflash r orig.bin

When i opened the original FW in Hex Workshop to copy the sector 4000-4200 from my original 360 FW into the xtreme.bin i saw that those were the exact same values already in the xtreme.bin file !!!

I checked it 20 times and the sectors 4000-4200 had already the values that i wanted to paste in from my original 360FW. I did it anyway - flashed the Samsung Drive.

When i placed an original Halo2 xbox1 dvd in the drive (which worked perfectly on my 360 before) the dvd drive started to play an xbox commercial from the dvd but didn't start the game - it came to a screen which said:
This is an xbox game dvd. Please insert the disc into your xbox to play. - So basically the "patched" Samsung Drive acted like a PC Drive, not as a xbox Drive.

First i thought i extracted the FW from my PC DVD Drive (Plextor) and flashed it on the 360 Samsung but then the Samsung wouldn't have played the xbox commercial from the DVD - u probably would have gotten a brick.

So I just re-flashed the original FW back on the Samsung and it works perfectly again. I wanted to try a backup before i did this but CloneCD always gave me error messages like:

Error opening File Layerbreak=1913760
The system cannot find the specified file.

But the file is in the same folder and the .dvd file looked good in notepad with the right filename.

Anybody experience with that ?

Why was the FW key the same values as in the xtreme.bin file ?

Are there any other methods to extract the FW key than manualy ? Somebody mentioned a KDX way....

1. Its not always in the same place, Ive heard people say there can be a couple bogus ones in there, you should do a search and read up then post your question in the main category to get some help with that

2. Go Thu the DVD decrypter tut in my sig, it tells you that you have to delete that line out

3. You have to Remember that I'm only going by what i have learned from reading, i still don't have a working 360 to try this on (sending in #7 on Monday)

4. I'm glad you got it working, any ferther questions you have can be answered by other people since your matters no longer concern Editing MTKFlash

Grim, finally gave up on the ATI. Got a creative labs with the Via 6421L and used the via modified mtkflash and everything worked like a charm. One suggestion for all you guys. Call your local small-town computer store and ask them about what PCI controllers they have in stock. That's what I did and 5 minutes later I wa up and running.

Thanks

lamo

1. i probalby did a mistake by copying the FW key manualy - although i did it several times - finaly i did it with KDX 1.5 and the proper patched xtreme bin - very EASY (noob proof) - worked perfectly (originals and backups)

2. No need of DVD Decrypter - just found out that u have to use CloneCD 5.2.8.1 - worked perfectly for my copy of GRAW

Thanx to all u guys for helping !!!

Still waiting on the Hitatchi FW, so has anyone gotten the SiI3112 chipset to work yet (on-board, non PCI add-on card). Just wondering if I should pick up a an add-on card...and of course return it the next day.

I'm pretty sure that no one will ever get the sil3112 to work, the sil3114 you can flash the bios and get it to work, stop being stingy go get a PCI Card

Much needed BUMP!

Thank you very much Grim187 for this tutorial. This made my Sammy flashing experience MUCH easier. I didn't feel like opening my main PC, so I picked up a cheap VIA6421 card and with the hexedits, it worked like a charm in my "Frankendongle" PC!

Cheers,
Plex
