DVDKey32 Lite-On Key Retriever Posted by Iriez | August 28 23:23 EST | News Category: Xbox360

>>A Software/Hardware combination method has been discovered on how to extract your drivekey for a lite-on drive... This exe is a win32 app that extracts the drive key from the Lite-On 360 drive via Serial. Be warned: This win32 program does not use the windows API. The exe writes directly to the ATA controller's I/O ports (which requires Geek Hideout's I/O dll, which I have included in the rar). It also requires that you be using an ATA - SATA adapter to connect your 360 drive to your PC, or an SATA controller that has a legacy mode (try the BIOS setup options on your controller). Geremia - initial concept C4eva - the CDB's and how to send them Podger - for the code Seventhson - for the userspace parallel ATA driver *Please note that this is NOT a firmware hack for a lite-on drive. It is just a way to retrieve the key from the drive for use with another drive (samsung, hitachi, benq) that is capable of being modified. This release is a revision of the original DVDKey released by Geremia for use within a windows operating system. You can find the original DOS based version by Geremia here DeViLs360 has written a thorough tutorial using the DOS based version of DVDKey here, and should be updating shortly to include DVDKey32. The tutorial includes the creation of the RS232 Serial cable to connect to the drive, getting the key from the lite-on and spoofing it to work with another drive.

About time this is posted.

This is a great start for the Lite-On drive. Does anyone know if C4eva is still working on a method to read/write the firmware itself?

I reckon MS have a way of detecting if these new Liteon 360's have had there drive swapped.
Just watch the ebay sales of samsung/hitachi/benq drives increase followed by a ban hammer.

They won't since there are very few home modders out there with the ability to do something like this, unless somebody like T-X create a retail key retriever.

Xecuters next project then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) a clip on device that allows you to read the key without soldering, like the spider chips or the old xbox no solder chips..

/edit to say, great work guys.. good job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Does this still require the RS232, or is it straight sata.

Sorry for the dumb question, I'm guessing it still requires RS232

[System32]

Hi!!!

Someone known if it's still necessary use the chip... or with only connect to the sata port is enought...

Edit: Where can i find a tutorial?

Only tutorial I have seen is here.

Right now this is the only method.

[SpIdErXeN]

I have the VIA VT6421L PCI card, and was wondering...would I still need the RS232 serial cable + soldering to extract the drive key, or could I just plug the drive into my VIA card then run the app against it? I think this card may have a legacy mode, but I'm not sure.

holy shit, congrats/thanks to all involved.
