got a problem with my Hitachi 59DJ drive. it says insert game disc into xbox 360 when i put in an original ... i think i screwed up a change of firmware key (xbox drive needed to go itno different xbox.

I tried patching both keys into the firmware but it wont work always same 'insert disc into xbox 360' message whichever xbox i put the drive in, i tried restore.bat but it comes up with an error.

I have a full firmware backup for both drives (broken and new replacment) does anyone know the 'command prompt' i need to type to just overwrite with the backup ie '59FLASH f orig.bin'? as that doesnt seem to work for me

to restore your drive.. all you have to do is at command prompt (of course command prompt should be at directory where restore.bat and all other files with release are)
all you have to type is  restore.bat (driveletter)   ie:   restore.bat F

if you get an error when typing that in... you are of course gonna have to repeat the error to us on the forum for us to help you any further.

on a side note...
when you did the flash for the first time with garyopa release you did it with a unique 4 digit number.
You SHOULD have or should be able to know what that number was.... and find the folder the opa release made for you while flashing the drive.

Now there are files in there that hold your original.bin (original firmware) and key.bin that hold your dvd key.
these files for one ARE NOT NEEDED when doing the restore process!!

the hitachi firmware PATCHES your firmware on the dvd drive.. it does NOT fully reflash your firmware as the samsungs do.    This is why the opa release can simply do a restore to a drive without any other original files.. (it knows what it patched based on the version of the drive.. so it UNPATCHES it to what the original version was)

So.. the problem you have might be the what version number flash are you using... JUNE 59dj drives have problems in certain opa releases.. hence why you should be using the most recent release but I believe the most recent release says to restore the dvd first to original then reflash to current hacked firmware revision.

Again just try to do the restore if I were you I would use the restore from the most current release... it should work fine.   Your dvd key should not be wrong because you do not have the option to flash the drive with a file.. it patches the drive for you durring flashing process.

Then come back with what the error is if any when typing out   restore.bat F  <--- if F is your drive letter.

on this example it was 5/10 that errored but its completeley random it could be 7/10 or 1/10 next time, I have the original firmware ie 5555/was.bin for both drives i just want to restore the whole file rather than unpatch it as I have tried restore.bat over 40 times without success. I somehow have screwed up the key in the file hence why I want to restore from original firmware backup rather than unpatch

To test if u really have screw up the key, at dos prompt, do a memdump %1 91004F0 1 10 test.bin where %1 is your 360 drive letter. Then look for key.bin under the folder that you had done the flashing the very first time and then compare key.bin with test.bin. They should be the same if your key is okay, else it is messed up ...

they key seemed fine with my backup ... I changed the key again back to the key from the xbox i wanted to put this drive in and checked it using your method and the keys matched and it booted originals, did the flash23s and it boots backups too ... not sure why it wasnt working before only thing i did different was check the key so thanks for the tip as whatever happened its sorted now!

Well, glad it turns out fine but interesting cos your case is the first that I read with random restore failure at different parts ...

heh you must not have seen mine with the others then even garyopa has commented on it.  (new firmware versions though from like 3 back fixed the issue supposedly.)

Was not in the scene until a few months back. Didn't think I will be getting a 360 but then again things happen ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
