Swap Hitachi For Toshiba ?
« on: June 22, 2007, 06:32:00 PM »
hi ppl..
i hope this is the right place for this..

this is for my friend as i have no probs with my 360...

she has a Hitachi DVDROM which wont work with the ixtreme 1.2 fw   .. so if she used the fw for Hitachi she probably would get banned on xbox live...

my question is...
she found a TOSHIBA MODEL TS-H943 XBOX 360 DVD DRIVE on EBAY forsale... she wants to buy it
what are the procedures to swap DVDROM from Hitachi to Toshiba?

are there any special instructions on what todo or does she just take out the Hitachi...then pop in the new Toshiba and do the ixtreme 1.2 fw flash like u would normally do if she already owned a Toshiba DVDROM in her 360?

thx

y would you wanna swap it for a toshiba? just keep the hitachi in the ixtreme fw will be released soon and if she were to buy it from ebay the fw will prolly be released b4 the drive evn got to her house..

pursonally i say to keep the hitachi in there and just wait a little longer for the fw cuz its in beta now so it wont be long for it to release prolly this weekend

If she's got the money to burn and absolutely must have it as soon as possible, then once the drive arrives, look for tutorials on this site to do the following:

1) Get the Hitachi's DVD Key from the Hitachi's firmware
2) Insert the key into the iXtreme 1.2 Samsung firmware
3) Spoof the iXtreme 1.2 Samsung firmware to report as whatever version Hitachi drive she has currently (360 firmware toolbox makes these last 2 easy)
4) Use the tool of your choice to flash the Samsung drive
5) Hook it up and start playing.

Ive been considering a transplant option myself....
I have a Samsung Premium thats banned, and a Hitachi Core thats never been used.
I was considering spoofing the Samsung and fitting it to the Core, and Spoofing the Hitachi from the Core  to fit it in the Premium.
Whilst I know how to spoof the Samsung, Im not so sure about how to spoof the Hitachi into pretending to be a samsung.....so Ive decided just to sit it out.

mainly because the toshiba is known to be better at reading media and i ordered a ms28 from china when my motor and laser packed in arrived 4 days after ordering it from ebay

the toshiba is always gonna be the drive to have as is proven with the firmwares atm
