Can the key be extracted by other means other then JF, I'm not worried about the FW right now and no I don't intend on spoofing the drive. Just want to know if the Kamikaze hack will work with it or not. Not RGHing the drive neither.  Just interested in getting the key via Kamikaze only.

Apparently the firmware has been dumped but has a different encryption than the previous LiteOn drives, so no you cannot get your key.

Um, the Kamikaze hack isn't to retrieve the key.
People have reported that the usual method of dumping the key doesn't work.

Thanks, garbage. I assume damn near every console found on shelves is going to be this new drive as well...I just purchased a slim for the first time and they took the damn inspection window to see the date out. That's garbage, so I take it out of the box, the console was made in Octoboer '11 so I'm just assuming it's the 16D5S 1175 drive.

Intended on attempting to "unlock" the drive.


This is what I'm doing.


Going to attempt my first Kamikaze hack. I ordered a tx board in case things go wrong. This is just a trial and error process I'm doing.  So what I'm trying to do.

Get the key in case all hell breaks loose.

Test my drilling skills.

If drilling goes wrong I have a replacement board and would be on standby till a method to write the FW is released.

And I just realized the replacement board will NOT work with this drive. ( That's just an assumption though ) as it's designed for the previous drive.

The replacement PCB may work, all that was said was that the encryption had changed, if the board itself is the same then i can't see a problem there.

I'm sure best buy will get aggravated with me returning consoles left and right till I find a proper drive lol.

If by other means of the getting the key has failed.....
If you completely bugger up the kamakaze hack and dont retrieve your key your box will be a doormat anyway
TX replacement board wont be any good without the key

Which is why I want the key first. I remember before there was a few slim drives you could dump the key too but couldn't do much more with it, till the replacement boards came about then followed up with the Kamikaze hack...I was hoping the same could be done with this drive and we could at least get the key and even unlock for that matter.

I have a JTAG Jasper, I'm a modder from back in the day and never bothered with the slims. Attempting it now and well before I tell a customer I can do it I'd rather burn my own box...I'd rather do the Kamikaze hack and I'll always have the TX board as a 'o shi!' back up plan.

I got my surprise 1175 at Sears and I can't bring it back! Had the price of yours been cut by at least 1/3? I'm wondering if there's a pattern to 1175s distribution (ei. drastically reduced consoles or at Major stores) or if it's just random.

Why couldn't you bring it back? Or we're they charging a restocking fee? Best Buy will take anything back as long as it's not tampered with. Which it's not, I'm assuming it's a 1175 based of the Manf. Date.

Apparently, since we turned it on and played a game on it, it's used! I know it's a 1175 because I found out after some research, but not before my kids used it, that it was manf Oct 2011 and therefore cannot be modded....yet.

Ahhhh, I haven't even bothered turning mine on, I opened it, looked at the date put it back in the box. I seen 4 GOW3 consoles, but I have no need for them and don't wanna sit on a 400 dollar console waiting on someone to buy it.

Well at least I got the bundle at a really good price so I can make a bit of a profit if I sell it.

[ydgmms]

why don't you just get  the team/lot codes and use your phone to look up 360drives website befoer you buy the xbox?

also, I just did 2  slims with manufacture dates in Aug 11 and Apr 11. Both drives were actually 2010 drives. After that, I don't trust manufacture dates so much.
