I'm getting this error:

CODE

DeviceIOControl() failed 21
set (59E) bit 3 via Mode Select(10) failed (sense: 00/00/00)
DeviceIOControl() failed 21
failed to execute 0x00000000 (sense: 00/00/7C9101BB)
done!

help?

I'm getting the same error.   Drive is confirmed to be open, and in mode B.  When I type '79unlock E' it completely freezes my PC for several minutes, then fails with this error and the drive can no longer be detected in Windows.

Any ideas?  I'm running Vista 64bit.

you will have to start it over again.  it means that you paused the audio track in the wrong spot.  when you play it once then press play and then pause almost immediatly and then when you type 79unlock e it should work.  kinda gotta play with it a little.

Every time I try to boot into windows after getting the drive into mode b it recognizes the disc drive but it shows up with a ? next to it as a local disc. I go to put in the audio unlocker and my pc blue screens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So is it possible to permanently mod the Hitachi 79 drive or would one have to apply the mod each time the xbox is turned on?

Thank You

If you unlock a drive then power cycle it you will need to unlock it again. Keep in mind unlocking is only needed when dumping and flashing the firmware.  Once you write the hacked firmware to the drive it is permanent.

[sunkist09]

means when you go to flash the drive you have to unlock it and once you turn the xbox off you have to unlock it again in order to access the fw file

Yes you can..... I posted in May how to edit your F/w to skip over the bit 4 0x5BD test..... this became known as the "Anti-Passkey" as it meant you only needed to use it once to "fix up" the f/w....

A lot of members asked why this wasn't in FWTB...

Turns out that it was since ver 4.0 circa July '07 but was not "Enabled" til after 79Unlock came out over a year later, for what I can only imagine was purely commercial reason, but you would have to Maximus what his motivations are...

This option is enabled NOW in FWTB 4.8 to enable this fix... you'll find it as an option when go to Smart Hack Patch in a section called "Special Firmwares"....

Hi, I am having some trouble with unlocking the 79fl, I have already hacked a 78 which was easier but I cant get 79 unlock cd to run in the xbox dvd drive....

I have burnt it at several different speeds and none of them work, it just wont load the cd, I have tested the cds on my pc dvd and they run fine, I have also created a audio cd with some music on it which does run in the xbox drive and its the same make of disc as the 79 unlock cd was burnt to.

I have been tring all evening and I would really really like some pointers.

Thanks alot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'm having an exact same prob but odd thing is that when i put the disc in my pc it also doesnt recognize a disc being in the drive unlock file that i got was 56kb compressed and image.bin 690kb could we possibly have a bad file and where to obtain a good copy? i also used maxell and verbatim cd's burned with imgburn and when i open bin file with isobuster it doesn't find anything but a session with no files
