ok if this fixes the hitachi drive and u loose ur key then what can xbox live do to ur xbox 360 when they realse an update or something if xbox live cant detect that the key is missing or this chip will do the work then ill consider this a good chip to buy

[NookularDeath]

it is more than likely that M$ will never put out a patch to disable a person's 360...

how many consoles do you think have been patched with DVD firmware???

How many consoles does M$ plan on having sold by end of this year?? wasn't the
10 million number thrown out there earlier this year??

I think the plan is M$ will just rollout consoles that have tamper proof firmware.

Those that have the first run of 360 with the Samsung and Hitachi will be the
ones to envy in months to come...

So... this will only fix a faulty flash?

I guess it cant get the key from a bricked drive caused by the two wire method?

[DJTucan]

I have two borken hitachi drivers, this is awsome, I am going to buy one as soon as its out. this is awesome news.

1 Question?

it says "Works for all flashable Hitachi drives 32 to 59", will it work for 46d or 47d. Those are the two drive types I have.

[ModdingManiac]

If you bricked your dvd drive doing the 2 wire trick then you are still shit out of luck because that messes up other hardware on the drive...This looks to be intended for those whose drive got messed up using Birdy's or even GaryOpAs and something went wrong during the flash.

[iPwn]

hopefully many wont need this, i hate seeing tradgedy flash stories good tool for those who need it though.

Uhhh...if you lose your key, your 360 is garbage.  The drive won't work if it doesn't have the key, this chip simply fixes the checksums of the firmware so you will be able to recover a bad flash, it does not bypass the key.

Whats really ironic here is all you anti modchip guys now wanting to buy a mod chip because you weren't going to get ripped off buying a modchip in the first place. I have no doubt this will be a good seller.  

Good work chilliflash.

Or.....you could use it to easily recover bricked drives.  Probably less than 1% of people actually bricked their drives.  So lets do the math....spend $50 on a chip (plus install if you can't solder), or chance the 1% (of which would be the same price as the modchip) and do it for free (or $10 if you don't have a SATA card).

That ranks up there with some of the stupidest things I've ever read.

Ow come on   ,

Howto: FIX my firmware

1. Detach the DATA cable, wait till windows boots up.
2. Reattach data cable
3. Flash drive

You can do this like forever!

If only that were true for drives that dont get detected by bios too that were f'd up during flashing - happened to me on a 46d and i have no clue why...thought i was SOL until i heard about this, sounds interesting...

I bet you can, and still won't accomplish anything.  If the firmware is bad/corrupt and windows can't detect it then it doesn' matter how many times you try your trick it still  won't work.

I e-mailed them and ask the same question. Their reply was:

Hi,
 
yes it works with all models up to 59b.

There you go, only thing now is to wait till it comes out and order 2

You guys keep talking about this $10 sata card maybe someone can send me a link to it.
