I am curious if anyone is having any media reading issues.  I had my Hitatchi moded with the very 1st release, and now just decided I would switch to the newest version, however since then all my backups that were reading just fine all get the dirty disc or unable to read disc error.

I use verbs and Ritek dvd's, for over a year they all ran fine on the Commodore4Eva's Xtreme DVD firmware for Hitachi-LG v1.1 (v46 / v47)

any suggestions from anyone?

TIA

hi,
need some help. i've flashed the Samsung numerous time, but this is the first time i'm flashing a Hitachi and i'm totally confused.
I have a 0079FL. Do i follow the same procedure as a 78drive?

I looked at textbook's guide. it uses Firware Tookbox. I cannot get it to dump my firmware using the "RAW DUmp Firmware As" even though i have my drive in mode b. also How do you load 1.2 rev2 into firmware toolbox? Is this guide outdated?

Is there a tutorial on how to flash iXtreme 1.2 rev2?

 

You cannot flash a v79 drive without first installing the 79 passkey chip.  It requires fairly advanced soldering skills.  And, no there is no way to do it without the chip.

Ok everyone, I have a question or two.

I just got back my kids 360 from repair. When I sent it in it had a Samsung MS25, now it has a Hitachi GDR3120L Rom Ver 0047DH. I am thankful that it does not have the 0079 but I do wish it still had the Sammy.

As far as my questions, I have never flashed a Hitachi and wanted to make sure I do it right. Will this hitachi drive still have the same key as my old sammy? Is there a tutorial that is best for my situation? Any help would be appreciated.

I do have a VIA 6421 Sata that worked well with my Sammy's if that matters with the Hitachis. Sorry if my post is jumbled, my mind is racing as I am upset I lost the Sammy.
