Hi, I had an hitachi 47DJ, but it brokes... Now I bought a Samsung Ms25 ts-h943, and I wanted to know if this tutorial works with my samsung drive... If not, do you know where I can find it? Thanks

[Gazcoigne]

it will help you get the key from the drive and to put it into the samsung fw, but the dumping and flashing of the samsung fw isnt covered in my tutorial, so it may not be of much use.

also you will have to make the samsung fw 'appear' as a hitachi fw in order to avoid e66 on the console.

bad move you should have got a drive the same as the one that died. search for e66 fix that will show you how to do the fw faking trick, and follow geebee/textbook tutorial v41 to learn how to dump and flash a samsung ms25.

this should be stickied. helped me fix my friend's 360 by swapping from a 46DG to a 47DJ and worked like a champ.

Uhmm.. ok, but I only will have E66 if I play in Xbox Live, correctly? Well, I'm from brazil, and I never used it.. so, i wanted to know if it will be ok if I don't use xbox live, or I will got this error anyway? thanks

Hi Gazcoigne,

Have been trying for 6 hours now and I always get:
The drive is in modeb as I can see under wnidows and dump the FW.

DeviceIOControl() failed 22
failed to configure upload (sense: 00/00/00)

After this error the drive looses modeb so I can't redo in the same cmd window.

Can you please help?

Thanks

[gordita37]

cant say ive read it, but I can say that in the past I was looking how to do this (found what I needed from some random post). It would be useful to others if this was added to the tutorial page.

can you tell me a it more about your setup? ie dvd drive revision, how you are getting modeb, your sata chipset etc? i cant help with such little information.

[hiros]

Sure, here is my config:

DVD ROM Hitachi GDR3120L - VER 47DJ (Mfg. Dec 2005)
Sata chipset is Intel 82801GB


Modeb is obtained with Slax LiveCD and also tried Slax2 Alpha 1.
Both seem to work as I can see the drive under Windows XP Pro.
I could successfully memdump the FW and can read the key.

Problem is the key insertion which always fail with the error reported previously.


Thanks again

i honestly dont like slax, i think that coz its a software method of modeb it can be taken out of it by errors etc.

i always use the team xecuter con kit, which forces the hardware into modeb and keeps it there, and i get errors sometimes but if i press up in cmd and do it again itusually goes through after a few atempts.

i dont know why the error is there, perhaps a problem in the flash app.

try to put the drive into modeb with the cross wire method. use a resistor if you are concerned with bricking the drive. then try it again.

i take it you are using the correct version of flash app for your drive ie 47flash for 47d, 559flash for 59 etc?

Can you perform a successful flash mod with xtreme 2.3? Cos the key insertion is not much diff. from firmware mod just that it flashed different sector of your drive firmware.

Try in Windows Safe Mode ...

[slinky2]

Is this tuturial still vaild given that toolbox version2.0 can extract from any firmware Hitach or Samsung and put the key into the new drive firmware for you?

Hi Gazcoigne,

It finally worked!

The Slax LiveCd must be booted from a different DVD-ROM than the Xbox LG Hitachi and then it works.

Not so obvious as people tend to focus on Hitachi DVD itself...

In summary, the working sequence is:

1. place the Slax LiveCd in the normal PC DVD-ROM (A) and not in the Xbox360 DVD-ROM
2. connect the LG Hitachi DVD-ROM (B) to the PC Sata port. (B) must be powered from the Xbox360.
3. Boot the PC on (A) and load Slax LiveCd. Have noticed that it works better when PC is connected to internet, otherwise it stops time to time. The Slax2 Alpha1 is more consistent; just boot and wait until HDD stops on black screen
4. Onece Slax is booted, keep your (B) powered on and connected to PC Sata. Reset the PC and boot with the normal Windows XP
5. The LG Hitachi DVD-ROM (B) should be now visible under Windows Explorer (hence on modeb). Click properties to make sure you target the right drive letter


Hope this subtle important detail can be added in your tutorial.

Hi Langnao, have read many great posts from you. Keep up the good work!

Cheers
