 Also will this new firmware work with Schtrom360Xtract v2.1 and give you the xtreme 3.0 stealth style image without having to manually inject the ss or anything?  Thanks

It does not seem to be the case. Just tried it and got the message to inject the ss.bin at the end. Maybe a small adjustment for schtrom.

To those of you that might be wondering if this release will work with XBOX games.....well it probably will.... in theory at least. No extensive testing
has been made at this point, so I guess you will have to test that part by yourself Smiley

partially answering my own post.  guess i'll have to find out on my own, or wait till someone else tries it out.

goes to show to make sure you read the whole nfo before commenting

That is great news.  I have two questions.  I dont have the Samsung SH-D162C yet but was planning on buying one.  What would be a average price of what these sell for and where can I get one?  Also will this new firmware work with Schtrom360Xtract v2.1 and give you the xtreme 3.0 stealth style image without having to manually inject the ss or anything?  Thanks

Good luck finding one, I am in the same boat.

Seems that the only places that have them instock is Australia and Germany.  You can pick one up on ebay but expect to pay around $70 shipped to the US.  Sucks

I was reading through the Schtrom360Xtract thread over at xbhacker and they said 2.2 will be released soon.  Hopefully that will use this new v.8 if the 2.1 does not.

Anyone that can get there hands on this drive please share the wealth and hit me up on PM.

is there a recommended tool for extracting the ss.bin.
I tried schtom 2.1, drivetools1.2.0005 (aspi and spti) and they all provide slightly different resulting files. They are also all different from the ss.bin I got on the web ( that one worked OK).

Just did 3 schtrom 2.1 in a row, and none were perfect match   ... wondering if it would work or make a coaster

[sosotiit]

well, just to be sure I do not mislead anyone. The message saying that the ss.bin as to be added after is still there.
I does not means that the data that is put by schtrom in the file not not good. it might only be a warning since the firmware did not supported it before.

Na.. I downloaded a SS that worked and I compare it with the one extracted with Schtrom... not a 100% match... lets say 98%

[Nailed]

Evidently many of you had issues reading beyond the 3rd paragraph... not with the ss.bin extraction.

Why not V1.00? Well... I'm still working on hardware correct timing of response types 5 & 7, which ultimately is the right way to do this. Studying a large amount of security sectors has shown however, that all (to my knowledge!) current games uses the same timing scheme, which makes faked timing possible. This release makes use of faked timing, and will use fixed values for all timed values. A 'jitter'function has been added that will make the fixed values vary sligthly, effectively making any attempt by M$ to detect a specific timer pattern for copied games impossible.

I'm testing a backup made by getting ss.bin from Schtrom360Xtract.  I'll report back on the success.

Many kudus for Kreon!

If you want I will possibly buy it off you.  Just PM if you want.

Ive got one of those drives in my pc, black one. No relevance to this, i don't do xbox360 backing up.

just thought id say that these drives are easy to get in the UK, lots of uk online retailers stock them. Maybe worth trying to check them out and seeing if any ship elsewhere. its unlikely though.
