To achieve this you need to flash the firmware with an extenal programmer.... When you do it this way you can use 78 firmware spoofed as 79.... Once it's a 78 you can flash it using software without a paskey....

Can you do this after you get a passkey chip installed?

if the drive is flashed with a hacked firmware you can use the modeb trick (power the drive while the tray is out) and you can flash it from there.
