hi ive been trying to update the firmware on a hitatchi 47 dvd rom using OPA-XTREME-HITACHI-7IN1-V2_1
and i keep getting the error that there is a missing xtreme file!
i think this may be the bios file but im not sure so im just looking for some comfirmation before i go and brick this xbox!
if it is the bios thats missing what is the latest bios for me to use and what should i name it to before i add it to OPA-XTREME-HITACHI-7IN1-V2_1 directory

many thanks Ben

you might want to redownload the file from xbins, its more safer

I agree. Re-Download OPA-XTREME-HITACHI-7IN1-V2_1 . Restore the original fimware. Then update.

Thanks!!

I dl the file again and extracted all the files to c\360
then got the drive into mode b
then hit start/run/cmd
then typed c:\360\flash21.bat j 1234

again i got the error message
"WARNING: a required XTREME file is missing!"

any other ideas
thanks

You have to put the all the files into the root of the C drive on your PC. Then run the command and it will flash. Had this problem on my 2nd Hitachi.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As cerealkillajme says all files shud be in root of C. Command will then be: - c:flash21.bat j 1234

ok the f/ware update was sucsessful however 50% of the time when i put a backup in it the dashboard says "open tray"!!
i thought this had been fixed? or do i need to apply a patch to the bios to stop the dvd rom from timing out?

thanks

just wondering before i try anything, could you just clarify exactly what you mean here? how does one put a command prompt exe in that folder to run it? im not too well up on command prompt

[h3lx]

got it

used a bit of common sense and everything went fine

now on to burning backups....

i suspect im gonna have some quite expensive coasters pretty damn soon
