Does this firmware have the same features as the samsung iXtrm 2.1 version C?

Yes , except the slow read speed . I'm not sure if it supports what 1.2 C on the samsung though...

I'm not sure if this answers the question with regard to :

(v1.2 RevC) Failed Stealth backups report normal disc information
This release patches the stealth information from NON-stealth disc's, so that the invalid info is not sent over live when the disc does not boot.

2. M$ creates a NEW generated feed to capture MORE info (look at the 13th/14th).  In this im GUESSING it captures a non-boot due to non-stealth compatibility.

QUOTE(xbox360sexual @ Jul 20 2007, 10:39 AM)

This detection was first seen a few days ago

So the question is: Does Hitachi v1.2 rev2 provide for the new detection?  Based on the dates of the current Hitachi firmware release (July and the new checks (13th/14th), I'm presuming a new Hitachi build is in development.

Can someone with information regarding this please confirm that a new build is being worked on, confirm that the existing build addresses the new detection method, or otherwise clarify.  

TIA

maybe searching the iXtreme 1.2 c thread to see if someone asked will this be brought to Hitachi?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

and this was the answer from Iriez

QUOTE(Iriez @ Jul 21 2007, 04:21 AM)

Yes, have you wondered perhaps that if there IS an answer?

Because there is not. There is no word yet if a hitachi release will be done, or if it NEEDS to be done. Keep in mind we are talking about two entirely different drives with entirely different firmwares. Some things that are neccessary on hitachi are not neccessary on samsung, or vice versa.

so no assumption that anything is in the work or even needed should be done.

Note, extremely important, that if your backups are A1 as far as stealth is concerned, this will make no difference. Also, if they are not , it does not mean that you get identified by this, it is infact not likely, so the 1.2c was more a security as per

QUOTE(Iriez @ Jul 20 2007, 05:01 AM)

...
For clarification (By Iriez):

This release prevents stealth data from being logged by a unsuccessful boot. That does NOT mean 1.2b was unsafe. A unmodified original xbox that gets a backup put into it would reply the same exact way as 1.2b would. This is a theoretical patch for a likely never-to-be used method for MS to ban people (think logically for a second here guys, and then after your done, think legally too.)

Thanks for the firmware.  But i have a problem. I just swapped a motherboard, and my hitachi 46 is now spoofed as a hitachi 59 and i replaced the key with firmwaretool 4.0 . I restored my drive first, after that i flashed it with this version 1.2 rev2 . The problem is , i cant read any originals .  I dont have backups currently that are stealth that are made to work with this firmware.  Does anyone now why my xbox is saying Please insert an 360 disk, when i insert a original ?? I dont know what to do, if i check my firmware with firmwaretool 4.0, the key is succesfully replaced, and its spoofed as it is used to hitachi 46d to a hitachi 59dj.

If anyone can help me, i appreciate it.

Anyone with a hitachi v46/47/59 that had sense errors with restoring or flashing, can you please try these updated batch files?

Hi,

first of all, I'd like to thank you and the staff behind #xbins.

I did experience sense errors during the restore (Drive was a v59), so I tried the the new batch files. The iXtreme.bat had a mismatching md5 sum, by the way. My sense errors did not go away with the new batch files but I achieved a successful flash anyway by rebooting my machine and ejecting the drive twice during the xp loading screen - I did not do this when I first tried to restore it. After doing this, both the old resores and the new restore worked fine.

The flashing of the new firmware worked fine as well, the drive boots backups and originals, no errors so far.
I used the X360 USB and the connectivity Kit for ModeB and external Molex Power Supply, if this is important to you. The system I flashed with was a P965 based System with the ICH8 Southbridge and Windows XP Professional 32Bit.


Hope this helps,
Stef

Can anybody confirm if they have been able to use this version to flash a Hitachi 46 firmware using a ICH7 SATA controller?

Ive spent hours on it today to get no where, in the past i have flashed samsungs and the 78 Hitachi's.  I can get the drive into Mode B and to be detected in XP, i then run the batch file and it makes a backup of the firmware and then starts the flashing method , no errors get reported during the 10 or 11 steps.

However when i reboot the 360 it only boots originals and after putting it back into mode B and comparing the firmware with a backup i made before i attempted the flash, they are exactly the same, so although im getting no errors it appears that no firmware is getting written to the drive.  Ive checked the directories and files it creates and there is a difference between the was.bin and now.bin files, so it looks like the files are getting created correctly, just that no firmware modification is actually happening (even though im getting the DONE msg and no errors).

Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.

Quick question...

My drive is currently flashed with the very first modded firmware that was released way back when.   Do i need to restore to the original firmware using the original files i have or can i just run the restore file included in this new release and then flash using the new files?

Should i worry about this error when the xbox works and can connect to live with originals? (havnt made my backups yet)

         I have the same problem with a hitachi 47dh will run originals, gives me the same error, wont play any backups. The firmware works perfect with a hitachi 59, and all my backups run with the 59, but when i put them in the 47dh it says disc unreadable or unplayable or something like that.. ? Any help?

Anybody know if C4EVA will make 2x, 5x, 8x, 12x speed selection to the hitachi firmware like they did for BenQ and Samsung? I read a post that said Hitachi's are not possible to speed adjust through firmware, that true?

looking at the efnet channel everybody will be happy soon:

Topic is 'Hitachi iXtreme MultiSpeed + non-stealth capable version coming soon

So C4eva is working on it


REMINDER:
THERE'S TOTALLY NO ETA SO DO NOT ASK WHEN IT WILL BE RELEASED
it will be there when it is there!

That'd be awsome! My Hitachi is way too loud, around 3x as loud as any dvd drive I've ever heard for a PC, so I'll use 5x for sure! What would we do without C4EVA?

[jij1984]

Can I use the FLASHIX and RESTORE command to flash a 0078FK? (with this one C4EVA_iXTRM-HITACHI_v1_2_Stealth).

I did use flashix on my 0047 Hitachi and that worked out well.
Or do i have to do like this: http://www.team-xecu.../hitachi078.htm ?
