Yesterday when the new iXtreme 1.51 came out I tried to update my Hitachi 79FL drive but was unsuccessful because I bricked the drive by my computer freezing mid flash and now unusable unless I send it off to have the TSOP reprogrammed. Luckly I had a Hitachi 47DJ drive laying around and put iXtreme 1.51 on it, spoofed it as 79FL and changed the key. Now my question is do I have a greater risk of being banned with a spoofed drive (Even when I replaced a Hitachi with another Hitachi just different ROM versions on it.) then if the drive was the original with iXtreme 1.51 on it? If I do run a greater risk of being banned could I just buy another 79FL drive and just insert my key or use HITACHI 079KEY 1.2 programmer to unbrick the original drive?

Thanks in advanced!

Come on. No input at all? I'm sure someone can tell me something.

When your drive send the Security sector to the 360 the last 4bytes are generated based on the make and model of the DVD drive so yes spoofing is considered risky.

Since the the Hitachi 79 and 47 are almost identical to each other just with different ROMs could you flash a 47 with a 79 firmware with no spoof?

[syntaxerror329]

No, they are really not that identical at all.

Differnt circuit board layout even.

Flash a 47 with a 79 firmware and this is what it will be good for.

Good to know. Thanks for the help.

I thought iXtreme 1.5 introduced support for mod_ss which allowed for 'safe spoofing'?  Not sure about the Hitachi version though but I thought the feature set was meant to be the same across all drives.

It does, so spoofing in respect to the SS provides the correct response.  The drive specific SS-bytes are not unique to each model but each make.  A v47 hitachi will return the same bytes as a v79 hitachi.

So lets say you have a Samsung spoofed as a Hitachi.  Obviously the Samsung will work w/ the Hitachi mobo, but it's technically more risky because the drive make of the Samsung returns a different value than the Hitachi?

Previous to v1.5, yes.  v1.5 checks the inquiry and corrects the response assuming its properly spoofed.
