Hi.

First of all - english is not my language (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Second - I'm a n00b  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Where I can find that kind of cable http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa189/y...60/overview.jpg (cable to serial point) Can I do it by myself?

Thanks for the tutorial, it's great and very easy to do! (I didn't solder anything for more than 10 years but it seems that it's like riding a bike hehehehe)

The only thing that I would change, on enfasise, in the tutorial is that the pin layout for the dvd power connector is for the DVD, and if you are going to remove the cable from your existing xbox power cable, it's not the same pin.

sorry for my english, I don't know if I am clear enough.

Thanks again for this great tutorial!

Hello, I'm a noob at this, and I think I followed the directions correctly, but can someone tell me if I did it right or what I need to change. Also I want to know if ground is needed? (I didn't bother). Thanks.
Here's what it looks like right now:

(Underneath the tape are the parts soldered together)

P.S: Is there any way to test the device before messing with the 360?

hi , thanks for the reply.
i just tried dvdkey 1.2 in dos and it give me the sega: 54 error but it tell me that the com port is okay by doing a manual eject without pin 3 removed. but if i remove it, it say that there is no communication with the port. then if i look at the scope, when i remove the pin 3 from the psu the signal is clearly lost. Are you sure that i need to remove pin 3 ?
I tried different sata port and it doesn't to do the job either. by the way dvdkey is able to get the inquerty and the identity.
thanks for the further help

This setup looks clean. Try it out there a point you cannot go past if this doesn't work so no worries trying.

Connect the power hook up the probe and read the info.. post your error's

I used this and it works perfect for me.

Here is my setup

Whole Setup


Molex connector


DB9 Connector


Probe Connector


For the probe, i used a safety pin and bent it to fit a BIC pen, solder wires to the pin and stuff it all in the pen, then used a glue gun to secure it.

The Molex was used from one of the broken PSU's that i had. Also all wires were used from the molex wires.

As for the NPN transistor and resistors, i just purchased them from Radio Shack
Here are the links
NPN Transistors: Model: 2N2222
1K Resistor: Model: 271-1321
10K Resistor: Model: 271-1335
DB9 Connector: 9-Position Female Solder D-Sub Connector  

I had a tiny problem reading the drive because my system didnt show me the COM port (Since im using a USB2Serial adapter). So i typed in COM4 (Which is mines), and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tut yaywoop

Or you can get the 5V from the drive itself ..., works fine to

dont do this! i did it and am out an xbox!

burnt out

[plumberboy]

can someone please post a pic of the pin 3 on the dvd drive.And also when u pull out pin 3 is the green light on ure xbox supposed to rapidly flash green?

[KinG_Td]

that is pin 3. Its the bottom wire of where he is pointing.

Yes, its suppose to flash green rapidly because it think its ejecting

If you're powering from your xbox, You may want to connect the pin5 / E to the ground and also link your pc case and xbox case so both has common ground.

I didn't do the above initially, and I shorted the transistor.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean both pin 5 and e or pin 5 or e. (I'm also assuming pin 5 means the xbox dvd connector?) Also is there any way to know if the transitor is shorted? I'm geting 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 key, but it could be a number or problems.

lol then you need to practice soldering
haven't had any problem just use small wire.

I'm talking about pin 5 of the com port which is same as E of the transistor.

To test the transistor, you need to test in 6 steps. follow this instruction:

This was posted at the end of the read-me file from the iX1.5 release.

"A new DosFlash will be released very shortly that will include LiteOn DVDKey extraction and dummy.bin capabilities. Note that firmtool uses dummy.bin to correctly spoof information from dumped key/inquiry/identify into other 1.5 firmwares. At this moment JungleFlasher and DVDKey32 support the dummy.bin feature!"

Does this mean we will soon be able to extract the key via dos/sata, or will we still have to extract it via serial/com?  

Could someone clarify that for me.  
I don't mind waiting to flash if it will be possible to do the key extraction without buying or making an adapter for the serial/com transmission.

Thanks.

How to I test the device? Can I use HyperTerm, if so, what bitrate should I use and what result should I get. also what is the bios settings for the COM port to get this to work? Thanks.
