Hey Iriez, I repeated the RESTORE.bat process until each one was correctly done. But even after that, I still could not play any game or dvd for more than a minute then it freezes, do you think my drive is screwed or is this the problem that is being worked on? I have a 46 drive. Thanks.

edit: just saw your reply above, is the toolbox for v46 drives?

Thats a very odd problem.  One that i've personally not heard of. You are positive no such thing was occuring before using the restore? Also, what version were you running before you ran the restore?

Hi
First i want to say hello to you guys, im new here


Ive important question ..

Yesterday i flashed succesfully my Hitachi 46D from Maximus-Garyopa Hitachi-LG Xtreme v2.3 Stealth 8in1
up to to new IXTRME 1.2 (rev1)

To get my Drive in Mode B , i simply had to start the 360 with open Disc Tray...nice

Will this Method worky anymore with the iXTRM 1.2, or was it only possible with flashed GaryOPA 2.3 8in1 ?

real stupid question guys !
but where do i download the new rev2 update ?  xbins just has the nfo ?!

thanks /.....

Im using a Sammy drive right now, but what seems to work for me with HLG drives is ejecting & closing the drive during every step of the reading/flashing. It's kind of annoying, but everything passes 100% everytime.

Please be aware that this error has been happening on hitachi drives for a very long time. It is possibly a bug with flashsec, but more likely a modeb/detection error.

Have you guys inserted a disc into the drive for 30 seconds before flashing to see if that fixes it?

From what I know, lots of people have gotten this error with hitachi's since the first version of any hacked firmware was released. You just have to keep running the process until it successfully flashes ALL sectors. If section 2 fails, then reflash until section 2 gets flashed.

A very big warning, DO NOT stop your process, whether restoration or flashing, until you have successfully completed! Do not turn off your drive. Run that bat 20 times if need be. This advice has been given since

Beleive me, I have done it more than 20 times before. Once I must of (not joking) done it over a 100 times. Someone really needs to fix that, lol.

Yes, well one of the intentions of Garyopa was to create a all-in-one stable hitachi flasher, but then his pc crashed, and then he restored it, and then the xblive ban's started happening, and punk kids blamed him for their xbox's getting banned and decided to trash his office and steal his computer, and a whole slew of crap. So, long story short, its been majorly delayed.

Funny to think that the direct actions of some punk kids has severly delayed progress in this scene (which includes a benq software flash method aswell)

Just want to say that I flashed both 1.2 and rev2 successfully on my v59. Had the mode sense error twice the first time when flashing 1.2 but just kept restoring until it completed without errors. rev2 restored and flashed fine on the first try. I remember having the same error a year ago when I did it the first time so it's definitely not new.

The problem shooks20 have is probably resulting from a dirty or badly calibrated lens(or both). Remember that the drive is spinning at 12x now when reading so it gets more picky with the media and the condition the lens is in.

Edit: Forgot to say thanks to c4eva and the rest of the scene for the great work!

What speed was the drive using before these new firmwares came along?

But it still does not have to flash all 11 areas consecutively, does it???

Most of the times I run restore I get a few errors, on say 4 and 9. Next time I get it on 2 and 11. Do you still have to continue til you get all 11 done IN ONE BATCH?

I seem to remember that you did not have to do that before, and I cannot dream of why you would need it now either... But it feels a bit uncertain...

Further to that, once restore is done you can start flashing without restaring computer or Xbox, right?

Nope, I never kept going. I always stopped when the previous sectors that failed finally flashed successfully. I would still have 1 or 2 errors when I was done but they previously passed.

I have never restarted the PC or Xbox between restoring and flashing to the new fw. So far this has worked very well for me. I just go right into flashing after a successful restore.

Peace,

After getting the step 1 IO error i took apart the box again (even though it seems to work fine) and used the Restore in Rev2 and reflashed again without rebooting and it passed it all on first try =) heres the log og my 2nd flash:

Question

Is Rev2 working like intended ? is it safe to flash my V47 drive with it ?
i flashed my drive with IX V1.2 yestorday dont know if i got a error i thought the program redid sectors that failed and when it said 100 done u can now safeley turn off your system that everything was ok.

My Games work perfect with my v1.2 flash tho Backups and Originals.


So should i update the firmware ? is it needed and next question is it safe ? seams alot of ppl are getting read errors with Rev2

[Sankyou]

Flashed this on a Hitachi v59 with no problems.  Also spoofed the drive to a samsung ms28 (on a ms25) using firmware toolbox with no problems.

Everything is working well.  I did notice one slightly odd thing: a backup of Burnout Revenge will work on this firmware even though it does not work on v1.2 of the samsung ixtreme.   Tested several other incompatible games and they were all shot down (properly) by the new firmware.

Thanks to C4e - GaryOPA - Maximus - and anyone else that spent time on this!  Your work is truly appreciated....

[g0blue]

Thanks for all your time and effort with this guys.  Much appreciated!
