i think what xfoofoo said above is correct, once it says 100% its flashed ok, well thats what i read somewhere else, hopefully garyopa can confirm or deny this.

I flashed one today that gave me 8/8 sectors success, but failed on the final check. All backups burned with Office Depot (ritek) discs and a Lite-on burner work.

my sony burner doesnt work for shit.

with my prey backup it wanted a console update. thats the furthest i have got.

make sure your Sony supports DVD-ROM Bitsetting. If not, you can crossflash it with Liteon-firmware from codeguys.rpc1.org. If its already burning DVD-ROM, try different Media.

Yesterday evening I used the Xtreme 1.2fix and that one worked like a charm on my Hitachi!
Also - just for fun - I tried the Birdy Flasher, but no success.

But still no success on my backups, today I will try buying a pioneer. I will keep you updated

Also I read in the NME chip post, that changing the Hitachi pot to 2.6K Ohm , that it reads media without any problem.
Is this for this chip only, or for all backups?

how can i make sure that it supports it?

grab dvdinfopro if you havent already and click the +RW at the top menu and then you'll know. if it gives you an error saying it doesnt support bitsetting, then it doesnt support it. otherwise it does.

ahhhh

i have already done that on my prey backup. got as far as console update then nothing.

does my burner, sony dw-q30a work?

i just fashed my sony with liteon 1635s firware. hopefully this will make it work.

So, when using dvdinfopro it doesn't matter? I have the same with my aopen DVD.

And updating your Sony like that, did that help?

About pot-tweaking: I wouldn't burn my fingers on that, I am no technician, so before I wreck my 360, I rather buy a 360 with sammy...

I will try another burner, an LG (which doesn't support bitsetting) and maybe that will work, otherwise I will buy a Pioneer, or a XBOX 360 with a Sammy...

I see people here saying it's working, but they are getting the CONSOLE UPDATE screen from xbox live. This is normal, I have gotten that screen on every single backup first boot. ( i have about 15 backups ). I have updated every one and it works flawless. Even if you put in an original for the first time and you're connected to live, it's gonna ask you to update.

I bought the pioneer 111d today and all is well now. It really does make a difference!!!

sebas74 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 20, 2006, 05:42:00 PM »

That seems the case.... I tried to burn my games with HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164, but no luck...
Tomorrow I will try to buy the pioneer (another 40 euro's, due to that damn Hitachi drive!)

sebas74 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 24, 2006, 12:29:00 PM »

Just to close this case: I bought a Pioneer DRW-111d and I don't have any problems running backups.

I used a samsung 552 (external drive) and LG GWA 4164 and an AOPEN: none of them worked (and you can imagine: I wasted a lot of Verbatim DL 2.4x...)

Thanks for all the help and support here!

Regards,

Sebas
