First I started the Birdy Flasher, but that one said: "Firmaware not supported"
Then I used GaryOpas flash.bat and that worked... sort of:

oh fuck. this happened to mine too. but it got to the end and i thought that was it, then i tried backups of my games nd they didnt work. is this the problem?
Exactly the problem. I hope you didn't reboot or disconnect. You will never get it working again.
Only way to fix a bad hitachi flash is to desolder the eeprom and connect to an external programmer. Read this thread for help.

Backups don't run (dirty disk error), with Verbatim DL 2.4x.
Tried 5 times, but ... none working (and yes, I remembered the bitsetting/book type).
I didn't try to reflash, is this not possible anymore?
Should I reflash? Why isn't the media working? Cause of the wrong flash?
Thanks for your help!

A part from that: why did Birdy Flasher say: "Firmware not supported"?
Is it because it is 47d?
Is this solved by flashing it with the 59 FW?

My Pioneer 109 Burns with Verbatim and RITEK.D01 boot from Dashboard (47dh). My Samsung SH-W162C didnt work. I use wxripper+ssmerger+Imgburn.

I used the right Birdy Flasher: without flashing he even recognised my Hitachi with xtreme 1.2???
Very strange indeed but the Birdy flasher could see that it was an Hitachi.
I will try to flash again and hope that my backupps made with an AOPEN burner (set to DVD-ROM) are working.
I also have a LG burner, but that one the booktype cannot be changed (really a problem? I think so...)
So bottom line is: Hitachi user are screwed? And Samsung users have it easier?
Or is a new FW hack better supporting media, is this possible?

I know, I have a NEC 4551 and it's not a Pioneer, but I cant get one locally. If someone can also verify the Lite-on and Sony drives are good, they are avalible where I am now, and I will purchase one of those.
I did get Oblivion to tell me it needed to be updated once from a backup so I know the flash took, but it just wont read the media. Originals still work fine so I dont want to go lower(or back up) on the laser mod.
It is your burner. I have never see a backup work on a Hitachi burned using the NEC burner.
You can try the Xtreme v1.2 retry trick, by quickly double-tap the eject after you hear the click click
sound, or at the OPEN TRAY prompt on the dashboard after it failing to boot the game.
Since the Oblivion said you needed to update, then your flash is working and the backups you have
are working, just your Hitachi does not like your burner.
If you can't get a Pioneer, then get the Sony and make sure your set the booktype to DVD-ROM.
(Not needed on the Pioneer models).

Garyopa you should update the readme to till ppl to keep reflashing untill they get 8 out of 8 and how to do it. I tryed about 10 times and could never get 10 out of 10. It would tell me i had 100% flash and that i should restart even tho i failed two of the 8. Also when i booted in safemode the flashing went alot smoother. You should advise people to flash in safe mode.
Thanks for the great releases Garyopa

i think what xfoofoo said above is correct, once it says 100% its flashed ok, well thats what i read somewhere else, hopefully garyopa can confirm or deny this.
I flashed one today that gave me 8/8 sectors success, but failed on the final check. All backups burned with Office Depot (ritek) discs and a Lite-on burner work.

with my prey backup it wanted a console update. thats the furthest i have got.

Also - just for fun - I tried the Birdy Flasher, but no success.
But still no success on my backups, today I will try buying a pioneer. I will keep you updated
Also I read in the NME chip post, that changing the Hitachi pot to 2.6K Ohm , that it reads media without any problem.
Is this for this chip only, or for all backups?

i have already done that on my prey backup. got as far as console update then nothing.
does my burner, sony dw-q30a work?
i just fashed my sony with liteon 1635s firware. hopefully this will make it work.
Post by: sebas74 on July 20, 2006, 03:37:00 AM
And updating your Sony like that, did that help?
About pot-tweaking: I wouldn't burn my fingers on that, I am no technician, so before I wreck my 360, I rather buy a 360 with sammy...
I will try another burner, an LG (which doesn't support bitsetting) and maybe that will work, otherwise I will buy a Pioneer, or a XBOX 360 with a Sammy...

Tomorrow I will try to buy the pioneer (another 40 euro's, due to that damn Hitachi drive!)
Post by: sebas74 on July 24, 2006, 12:29:00 PM
I used a samsung 552 (external drive) and LG GWA 4164 and an AOPEN: none of them worked (and you can imagine: I wasted a lot of Verbatim DL 2.4x...)
Thanks for all the help and support here!
