Commodore4eva Xtreme FW for Hitachi-LG with Firmware 36 v1.1
Posted by XanTium | June 24 23:51 EST

 
A version of the Commodore4eva Xtreme FW v1.1 for Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L DVD drive has been released for firmware v36. It's not really mentioned who did the modification to make it work on FW 36, so I'll assume it's another anonymous submission.
The release also includes the previously released FW patches for fimware 46D, 47D and 59 ... but there are no changes here (it's still v1.1 of the xtreme FW), so no need to upgrade.
Firmware v36 is found in pre-launch gift/sample/contest Xbox360s and in many replacement drives ordered from ebay and online shops:
Quote

Here it is, the long awaited World first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification to boot game backups on all Hitachis!
* 36 version is untested - Mainly for those with "pre-launch" & "ebay" replacement drives.
* 46 version v1.1        - Everything works
* 47 version v1.1        - Everything works
* 59 version v1.1fixed3  - First two had bugs, Third release corrects Flasher - Everything now works

Features:
* Now for all Hitachi drives!
* Boots all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups
* Boots all Xtreme Xbox 1 backups supported by emulator
* Boots all Xbox 360 originals
* Boots all Xbox 1 originals supported by emulator
* Use on Xbox Live at own risk

For more details about this FW release, see the original news item for Commodore4eva's Xtreme FW v1.1 (back then only for FW 46D and 47D, but now also available for FW 59 and 36): here.
If you have a FW 59, make sure you either use this release (36-46-47-59) or the 'fixed3' version of the 46-47-59 release.
Of course ... all at own risk (a small mistake could make your Xbox 360 useless). Also note that the readme says this 36 firmware has not been tested (probably because author doesn't have a drive with the 36 FW and did his worked based on a dump of the 36 FW) - so test at own risk, and if you do ... make sure to report the results!
So now, for the Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L drive, there's only the v32 FW left to-do, at least until a new FW version comes out.

Or how about we solve the soft boot issue with the hitachi drives. That's a little more reasonable to work on at this stage then Mac OS.

The problem is media and burners , get a Pioner burner and some Verbatim or Maxtor media.

Or a lite-on and verbatum.  I have no issues with hdd/av trick.  Lite-ons are 40 bucks at wal-mart.  Wal-mart also has verbatums.  I mean, you can cry about it, or you can do something, up to you.

It's funny how people how know nothing about reverse engineering want to blame c4e for a buggy f/w. He is doing this for us for free on his own time.

Just released a new package, same as Hitachi-36-46-47-59r3.rar
but now all contained in one package with auto-version detect,
no more BRICKed drives due to users flashing the wrong version
firmware into the wrong version of their Hitachi drive, and so on.

Plus it is now DMCA compatible, contains no copyrighted firmware code,
only works if user has his drive attached to the computer, and it never
stores any Xtreme version of the firmware on the computer hard drive.

Look for XTRM-HITACHI-ALL-V1.RAR floating around in the usual places.

Thanks for all the support on the boards.

Here is my latest "LOG" file.

I have finished the v32 and v36 firmwares, all tho, not much good
as they don't seem to work at least on a v46 or v47 drive.

Maybe the hardware is different on the early drives, but looking thru
the code it looks like the v32 and v36 are BETA firmwares and may
not work on a RETAIL x360 drive.

Tough-luck for those ordering "ebay" replacement drives, as currently
without an external programmer it looks like those v32/v36 drives
are dead for "original usage" in a x360 system.

Looking at way to upgrade the firmware to a valid working version
like v46 or v47, or maybe even v59.

Finishing porting the F900 code to the other working versions of drives,
and now working on merging it with the "c4e" code.

Been busy doing other things over the double-long weekend with
Canada Day and USA Day (July 4), but I am now back on track to
getting things completed.
