I think the no-check bit thing is so you can play non stealth games

Could you eplain tha a little more? And why only Samsung, what's about BenQ and/or Hitachi drives?

benq is fine. Hitachi is not!!

We've confirmed both samsung and hitachi are not correctly spoofed in regards to SS generation and identification tags with fwtoolbox 4.8.

Can I hex edit in the the spoof into hitachi or samsung firmware and be ok, or must we wait to be "safe" until a new firmware is made?

Yes thanks, Maximus, for your **** internal flasher bricking another one of my Hitachi 7x series for no apparant fault of mine.  (opened fresh iXtreme, checksum okay, Direct Drive Flash PATCH, DVD in, yes to keep current key, flash, halfway, fail, brick) /sarcasm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

It's not the flasher.  I have used 4.6 more than 50 times with no issues and 4.8 4 times with no issues.  There must be something wrong with your PC setup.

I used this on two different PC's.  The first I blame on a bad sata cord (Just getting the drive to show up in windows was a pain and not because of modeb), but I see no reason the second failed.  Native nForce sata chipset, unlocked 79 fine, dumped it fine, flash no good, and it was a clean iXtreme.  Maybe it's because first there is a prompt that says "There are a lot of differences, make sure you know what you are doing before hitting okay".

      If you've bricked more than one, I would definitely go back to the drawing board to see what you are doing wrong.
Its relatively easy now with all the advances that have been made, but if your hardware doesn't quite work out, it can send you into a tailspin. It sucks you (possibly)bricked it, but maybe being a little less of an ass would encourage people here to help you fix your drive.

Great work. Thank you

ok i am new and have NEVER flashed an xbox 360, I have opened one and checked my drive. Looks like a hitachi 79fl.  Could someone let me know if this fwtoolbox will let me flash this drive just like it would the older drives ie samsung. I have read about podgers software flash tool and would like to know if this has to be used with this 4.8. I dont want to use a passkey on the drive if i am honest. saying that if its the best option then i will do it. But does the chip turn on/off when needed or is theis a manual thing.

Thanks for any help/advise as i had my last 360 done by someoneand it failed after 2 years, not even rrod it was error 74.

I've been having same issue, bricked 2 hitachis now.  both were 79's  The flasher did come up with there are lots of differences and yes you've guessed it went half way and stopped.  Now need to desolder and flashed chip bugger!!!

Any ideas why this might be happening, I don't think it did on older versions?
