Hi Guys

I need some expertise help desperately. I have spent the last two weeks reading tuts and forums but still must be missing something.

Experience with Xbox 360 = two weeks solid of reading then making a complete mess
Experience of computers pretty good i.e. built a few no probs
I am using the following
Jungle Flasher 1.51 - firmware Toolbox ver.4.8  Windows XP 32bit
Pci SATA Card = No Probs with this
XEcuter CK3 Pro
Hitachi 47dj iextreme 1.2
Hitachi 59dj (Bough New)
Hitachi 78kf (Bough New). You will see why 3 drives as you read on it’s a mess.  HELP

The story: Bought a brand new Xbox 360 pre flashed    Hitachi 47dj iextreme 1.2
Great for 18 month then drive would not recognise disks screen, would read put disk in. Xbox 360 console or unreadable Disc.  Read forums cleaned lens +drive wheel to no avail. After reading more bought new Hitachi drive with the intention of just swapping the board from old drive to new Hitachi drive. When I received the new drive it was Hitachi 59dj not 47dj like old drive. Decided to go ahead and swap board and try it and it did not work. My conclusion was I had made a mistake because the drive was not identical. Tried to flash 47 board with ix59.bin  did not work I think because at this stage I had not understood the relevance of transferring the key
Next stage I dumped the spoofed firmware with jungle flasher from original 47dj drive saved as
orig 47.bin
Opened this file with 360 firmwareToolbox ver.4.8 and the following is what shows.

Hitachi-GDR3120L-0047 – ixtreme :47:V1.2
Rom size 256KB
**FIRMWARE SPOOFED AS VAD4444-43456C**   (Not real info)
Key info (@4F00)
Key 128C61D232F232555AC343   E323CD56C4   (Not real Key info)
I then dumped the Hitachi Firmware to an orig59.bin file and it read
Hitachi-GDR3120L-0059
Key info (@4F00)
Key 128C61D232F232555AC343   E323CD56C4   (Not real Key info)

After this I think inexperience kicked in or maybe it already had started
I flashed the 59 with ix151-59.bin and of course hadn’t understood the relevance of the key info as when I opened this file in toolbox the key info was all zeros hence why it would not work on my xbox360 and please please please don’t tell me I am the first idiot to have done this. Any way I went back to reading about key info and first of all tried to copy and paste the orig key info from orig47.bin to the ix151-59.bin and of course this worked but not when I came to flash the spoof the 59 drive with this file and I know it is here and maybe earlier I made my mistakes as I still after two weeks of reading could not work out the right procedure from beginning to end for my circumstances i.e. 47 spoofed drive to a 59 new drive.  So I will cut the story short now in case I am loosing even the more experienced of you.
Hardware probs began when I connected the 59 drive to my sata cable computer as it would just lock the PC. After changing computers and sata cards it still happened although I eventually realised it was not the PC or the sata card. I read more and it looked like it had to be the xbox360 drive I had bricked it.
So I went back to the 47 and tried to put this back to its original state and yes it bricked I think as it is locking up the PC.
Incidentally I was originally using the two wire trick for mode be and ended up with the dreaded RROD have just fixed this I think any way, Now using CK£ Pro, that on top of the drive issue has got me at a loss . Perhaps I should have posted earlier and asked for help instead my pride insisting on trying to work it out myself.

I am left with one untouched Hitachi 78kf (Bough New)
The  .bin files as mentioned
 Anybody with experience and patience to
 
First of all explain my mistakes and what I should have done, preferably without any sarcasm. But I will accept sarcasm if it helps you help me.
Explain if this situation can be resolved in idiot proof terms, this would be really appreciated  
I may have missed out some other procedures I have tried, as I have lost track of what I have and haven’t done

Many thanks if you have got this far in reading my plight.

thats a hard read, if you are certain you have a copy of your original firmware or key then you can proceed, all hitachis are the same physically so the changing boards should have worked.Forget toolbox you are only complicating matters by using different applications,learn how to flash hitachis with jungleflasher but make sure you have it working perfect no freezing , do some dumping as tests this will not brick anything , then do some reading the jungleflasher tut.

PM me if you want your Hitachi drives to work again. I can remove TSOP and dump
firmware and extract keys with an external programmer.

I can then return Hitachi drives back to original firmware, or since both are pre 78 series,
I can upgrade firmware both to 59DJ and then flash with 1.51 iXtreme.

Hey, when you get it all figured out, don't forget to spoof..

It does not sound like you have bricked any of your drives yet.  I mean as long as you have only transfered firmware on to the drives without keys, I do not see any reason why it would have bricked them. Oh, and spoofing the Hitachi's with JF can be a pain sometimes, so just try using Firmware Toolbox.

Thanks for replys guys.  as to the drives been bricked i think they are, as i tried to spoof the 59 with my 47 keys and during flashing it crashed then no more 59 as it locked the PC every time.  

I believe i also bricked the 47 because I had not understood the dumping file situation i thought i needed to re-flash  but it ended up locking half way through. now only left with a new 78 and not to confident.

[flash360]

PM'd you

[entermymatrix03]

if a drive will not respond to the eject button...that pretty much means its bricked right?

[robo989]

Why do people bother helping people like the OP? He didn't know what he was doing, he fucked up. He went ahead anyway in his desperate attempt to continure playing backups instead of getting someone who knew what they were doing to sort it out.

There's stupid and there's stupid...Then there's this guy.

You remind me of a couple of my retard PC friends who call up with a question after they've messed something up instead of learning properly by READING up on the situation first...

I say get lost, let that be a lesson for you and in a year or two you may well be writing something like this post. But it will have done you some good at least.  Sorry for the lack of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

[robo989]

Sorry that was harsh...just wish people would read and learn themselves but it's not my place to say and this is a forum to help people.

My apologies.

[kaneda_77]

some people read and still make mistakes. i suppose you've understood everything that you've read and never screwed up? lucky you.

with all the misinformation out there and even some poor grammar on some of the tutorials, people can syill mess up. i remember when i bricked my psp a few years back (2.71). i flashed 100's before/after but things still happen.

[run187]

if you have key just buy drive that isent a shitachi spoof to that xbox working if not i guess your going to have to buy new one ..
