can someone who had a 22rst0 drive send me their undo.bin

sorry only have UST one

Sry im a noob but Why isn't it possible to rewrite the hex coding (aka cut and paste) for any hdd to make it look exactly like a legit 120gb for the 360?

[punktilend]

Has anyone had any luck with a bevs 26rst? because i see lots of people able to with the 22rst but unfortunately i have been dealing with this drive for 3 months or so and is killing me. i havnt been able to get a hold of specialist but im sure he is unreachable so if someone can help me out with some info hit me up thanks.

Hey guys, quick question (or clarification I guess).

I'm a little unsure about the bin file. I snagged one from Xbins. I assume it's a 120GB bin but it doesn't specify. I only have access to an original 20GB drive which is pretty much useless right? I can't say I fancy the idea of using a bin that 1000s of others are using for potential ban reasons but everyone seems to think MS isn't comparing HDD security sectors.

Anyway what I don't get is why all of these tutorials talk about creating your own bin? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point of this mod so you can upgrade a 20GB Premium or a no HDD Arcade or 60GB Pro model to 120GB (without getting RAPED on the price from MS)? In which case none of those bins would work...

So if you already have a 120GB drive handy to create the bin from, why are you bothering with this mod?

Just wondering if I'm missing something...

Thanks for your time,

p.s. As an alternate to Xbins I grabbed this one too (which is designated for a 120GB):

Anyone use either this or the Xbins one?

Hi everyone! I'm from Russia, and my English is bad.
I have 1600BEVS 22USTO,  motherboard with nForce 410 (MCP51), 120 Gb hddss.bin and modded hddhackr 0.91
This is my problem
When i use hddhackr and select "no" or "yes" for the question about Undo.bin file, I have "Fatal error, the EC sector count was not found in the FW", but Undo.bin creating..

File list on bootusb:
13 976 hddhackr.com
3 584 HDDSS.BIN
1 536 UNDO.BIN
1 328 BOOTEX.LOG
And sometimes I found file EC.bin there.

What shell I do?
And how I can dump sector 16-22 manually with WinHex?

First of all, I wanna say thank you to all the people who contributed their efforts to help people upgrading their 360 HDD by creating tools and giving out advices and guides, as I'm also the one who followed the guides and used the tools, and then replacing the 306 HD to 120G successfully.

I'm using xplorer360 Beta 6 Xtreme build 2 under VISTA 32. I already run xplorer360 under Administrator and in XP SP2 compatibility mode.

I can backup the 20G data thru this program, like backup partition 2 and extract partition 3 data.

However, I get stuck on moving data (partition 3's data) BACK to the new 120G. ( The 120G is already formatted by the 360, and showing 107G available.)

I can see all three partitions. Partition 2 is restored back to the new 120G.

Partition 3 only shows "Cache" directory, and a file called "name.txt"

Xplorer360 Xtreme build 2 does not allow me to drag & drop the files/folders I selected from the PC. Then, I select the command "Insert Folder..." from the Menu Bar. After picking the folder (says "mindex"),

Then, a processing screen pop-up and showing "Injecting folder"; however, there has NOTHING been inserted or copied to the new 120G when the pop-up screen closed.

I hope TheSpecialist can give me some advice on this problem, please. Thank you.

btw, Is the 360 Memory Unit able to do the rest? Thanks.

I got this exact problem running vista home premium. Did you manage to get a cure?

i bought a WD1200BEVS-00UST0  the other day on ebay for $40 shipped great price.
when i got it in the mail i was happy till when it came to flashing

MY RIG
SIL 3112A <--- PCI CARD ( i flash hitachi anything before 0078 no problem )
VIA VT6421 <--- PCI CARD ( i flash samsung, benq , lite on , hitachi 78/79 drives with this no problem )

well lets say i had about 3 hours of pain with this drive on my main pc
lets start out like this i edited the hddhackr with my port settings for the sil card , connected to the drive to the PORT 0 of the sil sata port and then ran hddhackr -f then i would get this message.

(IMG:http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/4819/dsc00532sz6.jpg)

^^ after messing with it again and again it would only come up with that error , telling me that its not a BEV drive but as i can tell it is a BEV drive ^^

next i moved on to my VIA card ok so i edited the port settings and then connected the drive to PORT 0 of the via and then ran hddhackr -f at this point my pc would frezze up and not do anything at all "all you would see on the screen is copied data from hdd"(then frezze). i rebooted and tested over and over the same thing would happend it would frezze up and u could not do anything at all till ALT - CTRL - DEL or a reboot of the pc.

I tested cold reboots and everything to try to get that to work nothing worked.

NEXT MORNING i woke up and was like the PC downstairs in my building has SATA onboard let m e go and try that unit. so i ran down stairs and poped the pc open and located PORT 0 and found the PORT settings in msinfo32 for the sata ports i edited hddhackr again now for this pc. I then hooked the drive up and went to dos. ( i belive the sata chipset was a SIL aswell on board sata )

Once i ran hddhackr -f this time the drive was seen and the computer asked me if i wanted to flash the sector 16 i clicked Y and this time it asked if i wanted to make a UNDO.BIN <---- i never got to this point i clicked Y and then it asked me the next thing and after that it told me i had a new XBOX360 drive

i ran back up stairs and threw the drive in my 360 and BAM IT FORMATED


to anyone that has WD1200BEVS-00UST0  : MFG DATE WAS NOV 2008 <--- my advise is if you pc is not working do not get mad. find another pc one with maybe onboard sata ports like the pc that was downstairs in my building and test that computer.

if you are editing your port always make sure you place the drive in to PORT 0 <-- PORT 0 is the starting of the deviceids in msinfo32

Hey guys I successfully did my BEVS UST 120gb and then wanted to restore all my saves/data from my old 20gb and onto the 120gb. When I formatted i had 107gb but only partition 1 was showing in xplorer360 so did a full backup restore of the 20gb hd on the 120gb and all 3 partitions were showing. So I redid hddhackr -f to rewrite sector 16 since a full restore in xplorer360 changes it, then popped the drive into my 360 and was showing on like 3gb of space left so I did a format on the drive and was back at 107GB. Now everything went to plan so far but here's my problem, after the 360 format i hooked the drive back to xplorer360 and injected all the folders of the 20gb partition 3 onto the 120gb partition 3 which should restore all my saves/data from the 20gb to the 120gb and it did perfectly but the problem is was I previously had 107GB of free space and after doing this the xbox 360 is reading only approx. 76gb of free space now and even if partition 3 was the full 20gb of the drive (it wasn't its approx. 10gb) I should have more like 87gb (107gb minus 20gb) or what it truly should have been 97gb (107gb minus 10gb). Does anyone have any suggestion on why this is because I would love to get those extra 10-20gb back as usable space since 13gb (120gb-13gb=107gb) was already used for the system. Thanks guys.

I would try this, format the drive again using your 360 so its clean and at 107gb, then while its still in your 360 goto the initial setup again and create an offline profile (just simply making a profile will not work make sure you go threw the setup) this will make all the correct partitions on the drive. After that use Xplorer360_extreme2 and copy your content folder from partition 3 on your 20gb drive to your new 120gb drive. Once that is done you should be good to go with all your gamesaves and your profile like you were with your 20gb. Hope that helps

Ok so the companies are getting smart and raising the prices on the WD1200BEVS

You can get a new 120gb on Ebay for $75-80 making this technique less impressive

THeSpecialist you have done wonderful work i could only imagine how much effort has been put into making these drives work. But with money grubbing going around everywhere, we need to duplicate these progrms to work with other drives...

this is the Drive structure on the Xbox 360 hard drives:

Drive contents:

Address  Length (bytes)  Contains
0x0000   8192    Null (0x00)
0x2000   68      Plain text hard disk info
0x2044   24      Static Binary Info (doesn't change console to console)
0x205C   256     Dynamic Binary Data (changes from console to console - possibly
                         encrypted serial number of console)
0x2202   2       Size of following PNG file
0x2204   2754    MS logo in PNG format (aka hddss.bin), made with Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 on
                         the 19th of July 2005

Partitions:

Address          Description
0x80000          Cache Partition (aka partition 0)
0x80080000       Unknown
0x120EB0000      Xbox Backwards compatibility drive (aka Xbox1 emulator / partition 2)
0x130EB0000      Main Xbox 360 Partition (aka partition 3)


I havent read all 600 posts bu i know we are working with the 0x80000 part of the hard drive... And i know we woudl have to work on the HDDHackr...Thats up to him to decide...


TheSPecialist if you have anytime to contact me and maybe point your finger into a direction(other than the middle finger j/k) please.... I dont want any credit, i just want to be able to make as many drives to work as possible especially the ones that are cheaper or generic... again thank you for the great work you are doing
