Flashing My Shitatchi 78fk Drive With Ixtreme 1.51 Using Firmware Tool
« on: March 14, 2009, 07:27:00 PM »
Ok since JungleFlash doesn't want to detect my drive after trying all ports and switching i/o, I want to use FWTB 4.8 since this prog worked fine for my previous flashes.  I already flashed my original.bin to my drive fine.  Now I want to flash the iX1.51 but am presented with 4 files:

ix151-78-4b00.bin
ix151-78-4c30.bin
ix151-78-4d20.bin
ix151-78-4e10.bin

Which one do I use?  Please help thanks!

The 4b00-4e10 is the address in the firmware where the key is located.

If you open your original firmware in FWTB, it should say above the key (@ xxxx). That will tell you what firmware to use.

I had troubles with JungleFlash detecting my hitachi 78fk. I had to reinstal portio and it worked fine after that.

Yup I just figured that out now but thanks anyway!  Mine happened to be 4c30.  I proceeded to flash with ix151-78-4c30.bin and tested out HAWX and it works!  FWTB FTMFW !

I also had problems with running JungeFlasher...

So tried using Firmware Toolbox 4.8...


But there's no 1.51 firmware in there..

So used firmtool.exe in Dos to prepare a 1.51 firmware and then
tried to do a
differential flash in Firmware Toolbox but it just hang..

Now the 78 drive is bricked...

Anyone has some advice on how to flash a 1.51 firmware using Firmware Toolbox?

I just had a terrible experience with a Hitachi 59DJ as it wouldn't detect properly in JF, but I eventually got it to flash with 1.51 successfully. I had to reinstall the Via 520c drivers as stated in the tutorials in the "pinned" section at the top of this forum. Everything worked fine after that and JF is so automated now that you really don't have to do anything but insert the FWs and let it do the rest.
