I'm having a problem upgrading my Hitachi 47d from iXtreme 1.2 to 1.4. I have the drive in mode B fine and connected to my PC where windows vista recognizes the drive (as H:), but restore.bat gives me the following error:

I receive the same error when trying the flashix.bat. I did not have a DVD in the drive when going into mode B, and I even repeated the process again just to be certain. The light flashes and it takes two pushes of the eject button to eject the drive. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Same problem and I tried everything.  It's definitely in mode b but restore and flash won't see the drive even though it shows up in Windows.  Tried everything and coming up at a loss.

So where does this leave people who use a regular DVD drive and the disc swap method to rip their games?  Or does anyone even do that anymore?

I am also wondering about this. After ripping with wxripper, I always patched the image with Mulleter which does a crc check, which in return patches in the ss, dmi, pfi, and video partition if necessary.

Damn. Well hopefully someone can help us. Would staying on the old FW be so bad if it came down to that?

So does this mean that I after upgrading to v1.4, I should re-rip all my games with my Samsung (360) drive; or will my Kreon backups work fine?
They're all 100% stealth, and they all pass in Kreon Checker.

Hope someone can clear this up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks.
And to someone a few posts back asking for the command to write a drive with mtkflash, I use:

CODE

mtkflash w /m /sata xtreme.bin

Kreon should be fine from this point to the past. We are unsure about the future. Most people are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hi sorry if this is a dumb question but i have an hitachi 47 drive which i flashed through toolbox

is it possible to flash an hitachi through mtkflash if so can somebody please give me a link or please say how to do this thanks

Use the batch files within the ixtreme release. And, read a tutorial here, you are in dire need of one.

Ah man, i can't get my hitachi to restore. I got it in mode B (both with slax and tray open method), windows gives it a letter (g), but restore.bat just keeps saying drive NOT restoring. It gives me 4 suggestions which i should try, but none of them work.

Any ideas? (i've tried it on a ICH5 chipset, and VIA 6241 chipset)

Also, i updated the hitachi pack to the latest modified batch files this morning. Last night i released a slightly older batch system with less error handling. Please grab from xbins again, and try again.

QUOTE(Ichabod @ Dec 9 2007, 01:32 PM)

I'm having the same problem.  Never had problems restoring on previous flashes.  Drive shows up in windows but restore.bat won't find it.

First, grab the new package. Second, if that doesnt work, grab a older release, like 2.3 and try the restore. Let me know if that works.

Why on earth would you take your originally ripped image, and go and patch it? That defeats the entire purpose of ripping it yourself.

for those of us who don't have a samsung drive in our 360, what are our options?  if i get an oem samsung drive that has already been flashed, can i just put that  in my pc or will i have to change my dvd drive in my console?

[particleman]

I am looking for some clarification on whether we need to re-rip all our kreon rips with a Samsung.  Do I need to re-rip only the new games which use the modified challenge and response routines?  If 1.4 takes care of the current timing alterations in the current round of games does that mean we do not need to re-rip anything with the 1.4 firmware and just use a Samsung to rip all future games to be on the safe side?

I am going to re-rip whatever number of my originals are necessary but I would prefer to keep it to only the games that need to be re-ripped, to save time and discs.

Basically what I am asking is should we re-rip with a Samsung 360 Drive:

1. All our Kreon rips

2. Just the recent games with the altered timings

3. Or Just use a Samsung 360 Drive from here on out?

QUOTE(Iriez @ Dec 9 2007, 08:39 PM)

Because the samsung accurately reads/responds to timings via xbox360 hardware. If MS changes these values to screw with kreon's emulated routines, the kreon firmware would not respond the way a 360 is intended to.

1.4 should take care of any new timing alterations that were incorrectly read with kreon. This may not be true for the future.

I am sure you still need to use dosflash to dump the original fw and to erase/write the hack fw.

I'm sure what he REALLYneeds to do is read the damn readme file before posting questions like that....

Geez ppl, is it THAT har to check for a readme file first?

OK guys, I had the exact same problem, you need to restore using an older version of ixtreme, i used 1.1.......then flashed to 1.4

all good!

@Iriez:

I don\\\'t quite understand why we wouldn\\\'t be good in the future if this firmware makes sure games never report a 360 angle. Even if the kreon reported a new bad value in the future, the ixtreme would make sure it stays within the limits making it undetectable, how would this be different in the future?

New package isn't restoring and the older ones aren't either.  I mistakenly thought I had a 59dj since my banned 360 was one.  This is a 78fk but a restore.bat should still work fine, right?  Also can I just move the bins from the new fw over to the 4.5 toolbox and smartpatch as normal?

Can someone with a working restore.bat upload it somewhere?

Firmware isn't out for the 78fk yet you have to wait for a new firmware toolbox to flash the drive
restore.bat won't work as for moving the bins over to 4.5 toolbox I aint too sure about that

Well that explains it.  I thought a restore.bat would work on a 78fk, too but I wasn't really thinking.  Thanks.
