That's not going to work. You might want to take a look at this front page post, specifically the part about OSIG.

I have and i thought as the osig is checked as part of ap25, and the Samsung and Hitachi skip it, then it would skip the osig, if not il have to buy a hitachi drive then

It is, kind of. OSIG is checked by the dashboard rather than AP2.5 on a disk etc. as far as I am aware. Which is why drive spoofing is now easily detectable.

I take it that means that original games with AP2.5 will also not work in my console in its current state? Or is it just backups?

Good question, honestly I am not sure about that one.
I would have thought it may actually effect originals too, as the console will still be failing the check OSIG check no matter the disk in the drive.

Tried updating on my 79 from an ACB disc and that did not work. I am going to try to update from CD/USB today and let you guys know.

Thanks for the great info!

So did you try it xbladr?

I also Have a Hitachi 59DJ with the latest 1.51 FW and the kinect dash. So far I have been able to play all ap25 games with no problems and have had clean nand according to xval! Havent tried going online but im sure it wouldnt throw a flag!

hmm...

I have a Hitachi 79 that was banned last year...

I updated the dash via NFS, but I get the disc unreadable error...  i thought hitachi's were supposed to work?  maybe cuz I'm banned?

I can thankfully still play all my old games...  cod bo, etc...

any ideas?

I have the hitachi rev 78FK and i can confirm that AC:BH works.Although it is important to update from the net/usb/dvd instead of the game itself.
