dumping you existing firmware is in How to recover your X360 drive key.

not following what your saying here, is that for hitachi or samsung?, do not use samtool on hitachi fw.

yeah i used samtool on my original hitachi firmware...

was replacing a 0078fk drive on a hitachi motherboard with a ms25.

[sosotiit]

I would stick to fw toolbox, or Hex editing.
Using samtool which is great as part of XBM or if you can do your bat file to call it is ok, like that not sure.

If the drive you use as a replacement is a hitachi use this tutorial here and FWtoolbax
if the replacement  is a samsung then use How To Replace By A Samsung Drive, Also How To Spoof, Flash, and correct E66 Errors .

You guys are simply the best!  Great tutorial.  Just used it to replace a dead motherboard with a hitachi drive with a motherboard that had a sammy MS25 and spoofed the hitachi to MS28. Worked like a charm!

Thanks Lice and soso!

Quick question, how do you get it to be seen in fwtoolbox again?  I loaded the last bin I dumped (if not I can't proceed because it is grayed out) , then the Direct Flash Spoof section is available and when selecting unspoof it ask if I want to keep the existing checksum or replace it (0000).  I am just curious for future purposes.

Thanks again

should have spoofed it to ms25 (but if it works ... )

not sure about your question, I would also load the last bin I have and probably say to keep the checksum?? but unsure.

k, heres the thing i originally spoofed my drive threw hexedit before fwtoolbox had the option to do so, now using the new 360fwtoolbox_31 to unspoof it gave all sorts of errors an also i come to find out that my original bin was corrupted to go figure (now is the time i started to drink) so i got so aggravated I start doin all sorts of #@!% what actually worked was me doing these steps, open up a backup of someone elses bin with the same model an all an followed the steps in the tutorial "UPGRADING A CURRENT HACKED DRIVE" also dont forget to change your drive key to your own after it flashes follow the "TUTORIAL ON HOW TO SPOOF A SAMSUNG DRIVE AS A HITACHI OR AS A SAMSUNG FROM OTHER VERSION" an there you go all done saved me some time in removing the tsop an flashing with an external programmer.

[sosotiit]

great work lexs and you are right that those that did the spoof manually, should restore it the same way.

Hi

My Friend has bought a replacement drive off ebay because his ms25 drive laser is dying.

Now i have got the Original Key from the Ms25

So i tried to replace the drive to the hitachi 47DG but i can only get to as far as replacing the key using Fimware tool box i can't flash that sector using the fimware toolbox becasue it says it need an original game or movie disc which is in the drive but won't spin up the eject funtion is still working

is the drive bricked or not


thanks for help

Hi


I Have followed tutorial and get to the bit where you change the key but then i can't flash the new key in fimware toolbox becasue it says it needs an orginal game or movie which is in the drive but will not spin up
i am using the Xecuter connentivty kit to get into mode b

thank

[sosotiit]

not sure about the connectivity kit and fw toolbox, can you connect directly and use slax 2.1 to put in mode B   ?
