Maximus Xtreme v1.5 Firmware for Hitachi-LG v0078

Maximus/Carranzafp released a modified (Xtreme) firmware for the Xbox360 Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L v0078 drive:

Quote

Untested as I dont have any V78 here

The memdump command and flashsec does not work so you will need to remove the flash chip and reprogram it external

FEATURES:
* ModeB when poweron with tray open
* Media Detection V2
* Xtreme 800 to load backups
* No F900 core, maybe later
* No Firmware Stealth (maybe not needed anymore with this one)

The code is very similar to previous ones so I am very confident will work (maybe with minimal changes)

The reason to release it untested is exactly that.. to get it tested. Use at your own risk, in the worst case just revert your previous firmware.You need to remove the chip and program it external since no software tools at the moment. Make sure you know what you are doing.

Dont forget to put your keys onto it before flashing (you can use firmware toolbox 1.2 or hex editor)
Dont forget to crypt the file before flashing

Wow, that was faster then I thought

Now all we need is someone to develop a software based method of flashing this...
