alright I figured out how to get into mode b and I know u dont need slax for that. Now I want to know why I cant flash my drive back to the original firmware. I want to flash it to the original one. I think I did something now it wont let me flash it

[julagroggen]

first of all it's supposed to create 4 not 5, guide is just not updated.

was.bin is your original fw.

also, slax is used, and only used, to get your drive into modeb and you use it when you want to see the drive in windows to allow flashing. so if you want to flash, do the slax thing and make sure to see your drive in win.

your drive is flashed if at the end of the promt it said flashed 100 etc.

now, if you want to restore your drive to the original firmware:
hook up your drive to your pc
use slax for modeb and boot to windows and make sure the drive is there
run a cmd promt, but instead of running flash23s.exe you run restore.bat (located in the same folder). it's an automatic batch file that will identify your drive and flash it back to the original fw for you.

good luck.

alright I got that part. I was now wondering how to back up. It seems to be doing everything correct. I can get a ss.bin file which is 2kb and then I backed up using isobuster. I see audio ts and video ts before I back up and I write the 3212312 some odd bits. I know thats not the real number. But I burned it and it wont read it. I want to know the precise way to back it up with the hitachi. Thank YOu

before you call me stupid I did the correct number and then built the image with 360builer or whatever and then burned it with clonecd. Now I dont know if it was because I didnt flash right or because I didnt copy right

I just want A guide to back up my games with teh hitachi dvd drive. I got it flashed and everything. I make the Security Sectore file which is ss.bin which comes out to 2.00kb. It says completed with 2 challenges or something which I dont know what it means. Then I continue on to ISObuster and see xbox360 and audio ts video ts and I go to extract from to and it takes a while then I do it. Then I go and build it with build360 and then finally burn with clonecd and I  cant play it. Its flashed and everything but I cant play it. Someone help please

You were doing good on your explanation, right up to when you only said that you can't play it.  What error are you getting, what media did you back it up onto, what game, what DVD burner did you use, and what program did you use to get the SS.  You should really try Schtrom360Xtract 3.1 or Xbox Backup Creator 2.0.

I didn't even know it was yet possible to back up your own games with the hitachi drive while in modeB. Everytime I tried the .iso buster method, it would say CD not DVD. That's why I thought everyone suggested the Samsung DVD drive. Maybe I've been wrong for a while.

anyone want to shed some light on the topic and post some help please and thank you

I want a real guide to back up games with the hitachi because it did not seem to work well with the other guide. I flahed my v59 drive hitachi and wanted to back up a game. I did getss.exe and got a 2kb ss. Then i went to iso buster and saw my 360 drive and saw video ts and audio ts and went to extractfromto and extracted an image which then I compiled together with the ss using the build360 thingy and then burned using clone cd and it didnt work. Any ideas why and I created a new topic cause no one could answer my question in the other one. Original Topic

[jameswalter]

Don't bump in less than 24 hours, and don't create new topics after you didn't get an answer in the first one as soon as you wanted.  You do either again and you will be facing a posting suspension.

Now.....

1)  You are using a NEC burner....one of the worst for burning 360 backups.
2)  You need to use an all in one program like I said before.

I forgot to mention that when I tried xbox backup creator I got this errors

I think the flash23s firmware for my hitachi v59 is bad because it doesnt boot originals. Dangit
