Thank god, now n00bs will stop flashing Birdy's cause it has the media patch.

Much, much thanks to Maximus for updating this and GaryOPA for originally releasing this.  love.gif  pop.gif

So to get this straight..

Now hitachi's have stealth media AND firmware

Samsungs only stealth media.


Sorry for my ignorance but does this mean xbox live cannot see modded hitachi's now?  
I know an update may be able to change things.. however there is no way for them to know now that hitachi systems are modded period?

also.. when restoring..
Take unique folder from old xlg folder (old opa release) and put it in this new maximus-garyopa release right?
then hit restore?    does this unique id folder even need  to be put in this release?

WOW!!!!  The Mediapatch makes a huge difference.  2 games I backed up and burnt that didn't work at all on 2.1 now work perfectly.  Burnt from a NEC3550 onto verbatim and cheap playo media, both worked flawlessly.  No need for the pioneer I ordered now.  Cheap DL media!!!!!! wooooo, I love it.  THANKS VERY MUCH TO ALL INVOLVED.

Hey guys,

If I install this new firmware, can I burn games using Schtrom360XtractV3.0 under the 'stealth xtreme 3.0' task setting, and have the disk work in my xbox?

If I do this, will the disk perform in a stealthy fashion, or will I have to wait until a further update by GaryOpa for this to take effect.

To clarify, my main question is whether this firmware will ready 'stealth xtreme 3.0' disks regardless of whether they will act in a stealth manner or not.

Thanks,
And I'm new so go easy on me if this isn't an appropriate forum for this kind of talk.



This FW is for the Hitachi drives. The media stealth is only implemented in the samsung (3.0+) but I think that Xbox backup Creator will rip the sectors that make the media stealth.

I have not been able to get Schtrom to work with my hitachi. I have read all the posts pertinent & I have only heard the samsung mentioned so I dont think it will work for ya.

If you were to rip the disk from a drive with firmware that supports stealth, you can play it on a Hitachi with this FW & it would be complete stealth. But time will tell...

Hey dude,

Thanks for your help. To clear things up a little, what I hope to do is read a 360 game using the samsung sh-d162c with Schtrom 360 XtracV3.0, and the 'whole disc (stealth xtreme 3.0)' setting.

If I do this, will the disc be readable in my 360 Hitachi drive once flashed with this new firmware, and if so, will it operate in 'stealth mode' or the regular type.

If you or anyone else here can answer my question that would be awesome.

Cheers.

Not till YOU send your drive to GaryOPA or someone who can make a fix.

You're probably stuck without xtreme firmware for a LOONG time if you won't do it yourself.

But... If you want something done and you're not going to do it yourself, you can't complain.


I can wait a while, I think someone has this drive and has a eeprom programmer so this is good news.

If you read either the readme or the posted info you would see this part:
"*RECOMENDATION: If you have flashed your drive in the past use RESTORE
first. If it is a brand new drive use directly the Flash command you
like. If you dont plan to use your drive to dump games use the
flash15s.bat "

My question is - Should I flash the one with f9000 core. I MIGHT be using it to dump games, butt hen again i might not.

Will running the f9000 core still let me play games as usual - as in, can I just flash the f9000 one and its just the same as the one without, except I can dump ss?

If I've flashed the Hitachi with Birdy, how do I flash the drive with GaryOPA? Do I restore with Birdy then flash as new with GrayOPA?

I've already messed up this drive once, I do not want to do it again!

Yes.

QUOTE(ricflairandy @ Oct 7 2006, 09:29 PM) View Post
what is stealth firmware? stealth media and media patch?


Media stealth = responds with the exact same information that an original pressed disc would when the 360 interogates the drive.

Firmware stealth = returns the same drive firmware and/or checksums if the 360 interogates it.


Currently the Toshiba-Samsung Xtreme-v3 firmwares have both forms of stealth, whilst the Hitachi-LG Xtreme-v2 firmwares only have firmware stealth.


So we are all patiently awaiting GaryOPA's Hitachi media stealth feature :-)

sorry for this Q if it has already been answered

running restore.bat does it require my original 47DJ FW with key in the folder directory to fully restore drive

Or will it auto restore without the original dumped FW from drive


Just restore it - it doesnt need your backed up fw/key to do so.  Restoring simply removes the sectors that were flashed for the hack in the first place - it doesnt flash any other sectors.

I have a 59B and actually, I flashed my drive last night with 2.1 not knowing that the 2.2 is shortly coming. Yeah, it fails the verification process, which 2.2 fixes, but the drive works fine, I do hear it skip a bit, but besides that no problems. I do use the verbatim media and pioneer 111d and the samsung drive to rip. Since the media stealth still isn't implemented, there's no need for me to update yet, right?

Thanks,

DONT GO RUSHING INTO USING THIS FIRMWARE ON A 46d. I've got a potential bricked drive here.

It seemed to work at first with my backup of Godfather but then it locked up. I got a black screen on reboot and it wouldn't go any further. I disconnected power left it for a few seconds then reconnected power. The 360 now half loads the spinning logo then make a quiet beep and locks up. Does this everytime. If you disconnect the drive it loads normally.

I've flashed back to original again, and first time it booted normally. I then put my original test drive disk in to test it, and i got the quiet beep again from my speakers and it locked up again. It now wont reboot anymore.

I've got some more testing to do, and i will report back if i have any sucess.

Ps. i'm using the new xecuter 360usb connect kit.

How can I tell what type of Hitachi drive I have? 2: What DVD Burner would you all recommend that is a decent price? 3: Can you please post what DVD Burner and media you are using?

OK an update:

This is getting really weird, i've restored my original firmware with Gary's previous 2.1 and it started up ok (no hard drive attached) and i put in my original tiger 06 disk in. now i switched on the 360 with my media remote everthing went great, tiger boots up normally, now soon as i press the start button on the wireless controller to bind and switch the controller on, the 360 beeps and locks up. Now i get the 3 reds lights on restart.

Very weird...... more testing to be done.

Flashed My 47 with no problems, I did the restore from 2.1 before I flashed the 2.2.

I do have a question though. I rip with a samsung 162c , Krone v.080, XBC 2.0.0.1
I Burn with a Pioneer 111D (latest firmware), Verbatim, IMGburn.

When I was using Xtremev2.1
Out of the ten disk I burned, 2 give me the open tray. (tried the eject trick also)
I reburned one of them right away and it worked on the new disk.

I flashed 2.2 and retried these "open tray"disks, No luck, still "open tray"

Do you you think the problem was bad Media (these 2 verbatims were bad from the factory) Or a bad burn from the Pioneer? I have not played with my POT on the Hitachi and would prefer not to as I reburned a disk and it worked. Just curious if anyone else gets bad burns once in a while.

Also I have gotten a good burn on a FUJIFILM DVD+R. and could read it on V2.1 and V2.2

Another update:

I know nobody really cares about my problem as everyone seems to be getting on ok with this new firmware, but i think it may be usefull to carry on updating with my probs just in case someone else has the same problems.

Well its taken me ages and multiple restores and flashs and more restores, and my last restore with gary2.1 seemed to have fixed it and the 360 booted normally. I tried my Testdrive original and that loaded into my house no problem, but then i tried to go out on the road and it locks up, requiring a power cycle.

I reboot and the 360 boots normally rather than having the 3 reds, (which i've been fighting with for a couple of hours) I then decide to try tiger woods 06 again (original again) and that loads into the menu system no problem. Ok so i decide to play a round, the loading bar goes all the way across the screen and i show up on the Tee. I just hear the first bit of sound from the commentary and it locks up again.

FFS this is really doing my head in now, so i'll give it a rest today and start all over again tomorrow. One things for sure though i'm sticking to the last version of the firmware for now.

p.s. the wireless controller lock up problem i mentioned in an earlier post has gone altogether now, so it wasn't anything to do with that.

I know nobody really cares about my problem as everyone seems to be getting on ok with this new firmware, but i think it may be usefull to carry on updating with my probs just in case someone else has the same problems.

Well its taken me ages and multiple restores and flashs and more restores, and my last restore with gary2.1 seemed to have fixed it and the 360 booted normally. I tried my Testdrive original and that loaded into my house no problem, but then i tried to go out on the road and it locks up, requiring a power cycle.

I reboot and the 360 boots normally rather than having the 3 reds, (which i've been fighting with for a couple of hours) I then decide to try tiger woods 06 again (original again) and that loads into the menu system no problem. Ok so i decide to play a round, the loading bar goes all the way across the screen and i show up on the Tee. I just hear the first bit of sound from the commentary and it locks up again.

FFS this is really doing my head in now, so i'll give it a rest today and start all over again tomorrow. One things for sure though i'm sticking to the last version of the firmware for now.

p.s. the wireless controller lock up problem i mentioned in an earlier post has gone altogether now, so it wasn't anything to do with that.



Your problems really don't seem to be related to the drive at all IMHO. Any type of bad data sent from the DVD drive would give a CRC error and prompt your 360 to give a dirty disc error. To me it sounds like you may have cause some form of physical damage (ESD or possibly damaged a Cap or resistor) when you went through the process of opening and closing the case.

Yes.
Media stealth = responds with the exact same information that an original pressed disc would when the 360 interogates the drive.

Firmware stealth = returns the same drive firmware and/or checksums if the 360 interogates it.
Currently the Toshiba-Samsung Xtreme-v3 firmwares have both forms of stealth, whilst the Hitachi-LG Xtreme-v2 firmwares only have firmware stealth.
So we are all patiently awaiting GaryOPA's Hitachi media stealth feature :-)




Thanks, ive been looking for that info for ages. I have a samsung, so i guess that is a good thing as long as its not a ms28

One more confusing thing is what is dmi and pfi? Are they important?

thanks

Well blow me down, 1 hour later i returned to the 360 to just see if it would play my originals again, and sure enough i've just spent the last 20mins or so playing testdrive. God knows whats going on but it seems to be ok now. Stupid bloody computers  biggrin.gif

I don't think it's the firmware that's causing your problem.  Three-lights-of-death can be caused by poor soldering on the motherboard - not your soldering, FACTORY soldering!  There's a fix for it that involves a heat gun and some foil to reheat the board and re-melt the solder, believe it or not!  It was on here a few weeks ago.

It's probably doing it now because you've disturbed things by flipping the machine over, undoing all the screws, etc.  As the machine warms up, the connections are breaking and causing the crash.

You do not need the OLD restore.bat to restore.   You do not need anything in that folder opa creates to do a restore.

Hitachi firmwares ARE PATCHED, it is not the WHOLE image of the firmware that is reflashed (such as samsungs)  so the restore.bat figures what drive you have and uses info that it knows to put your current firmware back to original (it figures the key durring this process also)

So get the new firmware release and inside like your old release there is a restore.bat..
just type restore.bat (drive letter here)

Stealth Media
-----------------

This is to clear up a few misconceptions about what Stealth Media is and how it works. This is not firmware stealth. Reading the firmware itself for changes is not controlled by the firmware itself, it is a low level hardware function which cannot be stopped by firrmware code.

There's something I don't understand.
The lack of a stealth media feature means what?
Backup not working if, say, DMI checked in future
or
backup working (if, again, DMI checked in future) but modified firmware exposed on live?

Is it reasonably ok to go on Live with modified Hitachi stealth firmware and pressed dvds or nothing has changed?

Not for me.  I had a virgin drive which I have flashed with this firmware and everything has worked as expected.

However, when trying to extract the SS.BIN using GETSS.EXE it says 'spectrum4eva SS dumper for firmware f900' and then just hangs.  Never goes any further.

My Hitachi drive version is 0047DJ.

Hi,

I don't think it is a waste getting the 111D ... I believe it is a much better drive in duplicating 360 games in term of quality, etc. Backup N3 using NEC 3500 and played well in full speed but hung occassionally in 'quiet mode'. The same game backup using Pioneer 111D using the same media(verbatim) function flawlessly in either mode ...

just thought I'd post this here in case someone can help out as it is getting frustrating...

I have the Hitachi 47DH drive, and have been burning backups with a pioneer 111D (1.23) on Verbatims with clone cd.

All backups boot fine and play fine but after a few minutes they lock up inside the game. Some games takes longer to lock up, others it locks up after 1-2 minutes in the game.

I have tried GaryOpa's 2.1 firmware and the birdy one and I know flashed the newest 2.2 firmware. Still the same problem.

This is so frustrating as I cant pinpoint on what the problem is so I can correct it. Anyone have some idea on what it might be the problem ?

many thanks

heh either way the 360 has to be open. because u need to connect it to the damn pc. just use the slax. not a real big waste of time.

ideally u should be using a pioneer burning as it is probably doing the LEAST stress on your dvd drive. this will ensure a long healthy life for your 360 drive. i recommend getting a pioneer, even if you upgrade to the new firmware. oh and use verbatim's too

from what i have read people all buy from it, they order a specific drive, but never get it. some get an easy to mod drive though, and are happy. others get the 32 version, which you cannot mod yet from what i've seen. i may be wrong though. so before u spend some money verify that what u might get is indeed flashable.

I do not even know what you question is for.

How do we know IF you need to REFLASH to a upgrade or not???

IF you WANT to upgrade (since new firmware is stealth)

YOU MUST RESTORE TO ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FIRST!
you do not need your original firmware to do this.

You more than likely do not need any more info because you HAD YOUR box modded by someone else.
So if you are going to do it yourself you MUST restore the hitachi to original
OPA's releases can do this for you without the original firmware!
get the new release , get the drive into modeb and recognized by windows, do restore.bat
then when done.. you can flash it again with max-opa 2.2

otherwise give it back to the person who flashed it and tell them you want 2.2 now   IF YOU WANT IT!!
no one can make that decision for you.

Today i decided to flash my drive with firmware v2.2. It was already flashed once by someone with FW V2.1.
First i ran Restore.bat from the V2.2 files. It ended up with 100% ok.
Then i flashed it with FLASH22S.BAT L 0697. In the Readme file it says that after the flash you end up
with a folder (0697) with 5 files:

---- key.bin   ---- DRIVE KEY /// DRIVE KEY
---- was.bin   ---- Your drive before FLASH
---- gdrXX.bin ---- The untouch original fw
---- XX_22.bin ---- The patched Xtreme22 fw
---- now.bin   ---- Your drive after FLASH!

The flash was 100% complete but i only have 4 files in the folder, the gdrXX.bin is missing. Is this o.k.?

I still have the folder of the first time flash and in that folder i got indeed 5 files.

i am in no way affiliated with this site and do not a) know whether their products are good and cool.gif if they do good business or not.

http://www.etech4sale.com/

from what i have read people all buy from it, they order a specific drive, but never get it. some get an easy to mod drive though, and are happy. others get the 32 version, which you cannot mod yet from what i've seen. i may be wrong though. so before u spend some money verify that what u might get is indeed flashable.





I got my drive  from this place.little bit exspensive but they sent me sammy m28 with chrome face .their service s very good.

Just flashed my Hitachi 47dj with team-xecuter x360 usb  and so far works great.  I tried my previous burns from an NEC 6650 with a Fujifilm 2.4x DVD+R DL and it works!!  Thanks Maximus, Thanks GaryOPA, Thanks Team-Xecuter and Thanks xbox-scene!

I sincerely apologize if this was answered but I didn't see it in the readme. I already have my drive flashed with the newest firmware and I stealthed it with the older stealth. How do I update it now? I a bit confused.

Is the flasher compatible with Vista RC1 btw?
Has anyone tried it or have any insightful info as to why it should/shouldn't work.
If it does not work, would it just not flash or could it jeopardise the drive?

Using the Maximus-Garyopa Hitachi-LG Xtreme v2.2 Stealth 8in1 firmware for game extract only?

I have a spare Hitachi 47dj at home that I want to flash strictly for 360 game extracts. But where I'm stuck is that I want to make media stealth backups for my full functioning 360 that has a Samsung in it now. Is it possible to extract backups with the Hitachi v2.2 firmware that will allow me to do media stealth for my Samsung drive? Or is this only currently a one way street

Also as a side note, with the v2.2 firmware, do Hitachi backups still need to be bitset to DVD-ROM for them to work or will this new release allow for backups not bitset to DVD-ROM?

Ok.. Im not gonna ask where the ftp is because telling me that would break the forum rules.
And the xbinx.org does have the release-INFO at the top but no download link (again because it may be illegal)

Either way I think a checksum is always a good idea for stuff like this.


One word:

eurasia.nu

(more reliable than Xbins)
 

I've been using Xbins for almost 5 years, but lately I find that the files hit Eurasia first and then there is less traffic or congestion getting stuff on release day (Eurasia is also faster).  And the final plusses are you don't need to log into IRC channel AND there are NO timeouts or daily file or quota limits!

First at all, Thanks to Maximus and Garyopa.

But, I found a bug in batch file.
Simply, "if errorlevel 0" is doesn't work properly.
However "if errorlevel 1" is works fine.
Command "find" and "qfc" have same problem.

You can download test file.
batch_test.zip

In archieve, There are two batch file for test.
First is "test_iferr0.bat" and second is "test_iferr1.bat".
Their contents are same.
But, First one uses "if errorlevel 0", and second one uses "if errorlevel 1".

Result was interesting.
"test_iferr0.bat" said "errorlevel 0" in all situation.
But, "test_iferr1.bat" told me TRUE result.

So, I think all command that start with "if errorlevel 0" doesn't work properly
in FLASH15S.BAT, FLASH22.BAT, RESTORE.BAT on this version.

My 360 drive is already making clicking sounds like when the early firmware's were out and you needed to do the tricks in order to boot the game. I have a 47dj..  and I always used Verbatim media with Pioneer 111d burner this only happens on backups tho originals play fine.

Read the damn readme file that comes with the damn release.  Almost all of the questions in this thread are addressed in the readme.  15 is non f900 and 22 is f900.  If you do not want to make backups using your drive, use 15.

As for the post above - if you have another hacked fw on your drive already, definetly run restore.bat!!!  Once again, that was addressed in the readme.

Can I restore my drive to original using the included backup command in this release even though I have Birdie’s FW on there now uhh.gif

And does anyone have a clue if the new Garyopa is 64bit compatible  uhh.gif

Okay, made a big mistake when I ordered DL DVD:s. Ordered DVD-R DL instead of DVD+R DL. Does this release make it possible to burn backups on DVD-R DL also, or do I have to try to sell those discs right away?
Plz, need a quick answer before I try and burn anyways and end up with a whole lot of unusable discs. My first time I'm trying to burn and play a backup so I'm a little insecure smile.gif

Yes, you can use the restore.bat that came with the maximus-opa fw to restore the birdy flash.  It worked just fine for me.  I dont know about 64-bit compatible.

the only thing i can think of is...

you are taking advantage of the new ability for your hitachi to play all types of media burned with any number of burners.

you should all realize that using a cheaper or less compatible burner as well as cheap media, in any combination of the two, is going to stress your hitachi drive. plain and simple. the better quality stuff you throw at it, the happier it will be. that is just the nature of optics and whatnot. so do yourselves a favor, buy a pioneer for 31USD and some verbatims for a dollar apiece and you will all be happy.

moreover, why r u even playing your backups? why dont you just play your originals? those are likely to be the quietest running discs that you own... so they should be the ideal candiates for playing games. the backups are just there in case something happens to your original. just my two cents.

If you play with original and it dies, your screwed. If you play with backup and it dies, you just make another. For most this would never be a problem, but for those with kids.... I cant remember the number of times I've seen my daughter with a pile of dvd's spread all over the floor.

I don't understand what are you telling us and how that "bug" affects the flashing process.
Could you please explain better?

my 2 cents:

if errorlevel 0 was used in batches to stop looping > trys it 4 times (or less) and if than still not ok, stops it....


...maybe I'm wrong but maximus batch should be OK

Honestly, read the fucking read me.  Cut and paste from the first post of this thread:

RESTORE.BAT:  Return your drive to original State, even if you have firmware stealth in your drive

*RECOMENDATION: If you have flashed your drive in the past use RESTORE
first. If it is a brand new drive use directly the Flash command you
like.

How could you of missed that?

Suppose Flashing sector 90005000 operation is fail, we MUST try reflash.
But, THAT("if errorlevel 0" operation)  operation doesn't work properly.
So, this batch file do not try reflash, 'goto CONT_F47' and try Flashing sector 90033000.

In Maximus 1.3 Hitachi Firmware Stealth-Maker readme
---------------------
        - On the flasher routines (flash.bat) remember that you must flash
          sectors 90005000 and then 90033000 in that order, never flash the
          second sector before flashing sucessfully the first one or you will
          KILL the read routine and brick the drive (no more windows detection)

Suppose you are in above situation, your hitachi-rom will dead.   sad.gif

I don't know, but look here

What about people who flashed the drive?
What kind of problem may we have?
Anyone knows if there is a way to check if the operation went 100% ok from the bin files created by the process? uhh.gif

just watch xbins...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximus_garyOPA_2_2_Stealth_RevisedBats.rar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are Revised bats for the "Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_2_Stealth" package
previously released. just copy this bats over the existing ones into your drive.

The previous bats have a bug with errorlevel variable (my mistake, not garyOPA).

NOTE: If you have sucessfully flashed your drive with the 2.2 Stealth package
NO NEED TO REFLASH AGAIN SINCE THERE IS NO PROBLEM ON THE FLASHED DRIVE.
For new drives you flash it is better to have this revisted bats to avoid possible
problems (NONE Reported here).

Also if you RE-DOWNLOAD the "Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_2_Stealth" package
from the "usual places" will contain the revised bats (Added on 9-Oct-2006).

An IF ERRORLEVEL 0 statement is pointless anyway.

IF ERRORLEVEL 0 will only do its thing if the errorlevel is 0 OR GREATER - in other words, always!

To process errorlevels correctly you've got to run through them in reverse:-

WHATEVER.EXE
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO dothis
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO dothat
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO dotheother
ECHO This line will display if ERRORLEVEL is 0
GOTO end
:dothis
ECHO This
GOTO end
:dothat
ECHO That
GOTO end
:dotheother
ECHO The other
:end

In the above case, if the errorlevel is 5, the "dothis" portion will still be run.

I see the batch files now use the IF %ERRORLEVEL%==0 statement, this fixes it nicely.

p.s. QFC.EXE returns ERRORLEVEL 2 if called without any parameters. smile.gif

What fw were you using before?  It could be that your previous fw's didnt have those sectors with code in them, hence it can't remove them.  I havent looked into the restore.bat file but i will when i get home.

I have a 47dj flashed with the OPA 2.1. I don't use my drive to backup games and I have a Pioneer 111D and use Verbatims. My games work perfectly, not one coaster yet. Question is, what would be the advantage for me to upgrade to this new 2.2? I'm a bit lazy to open my 360 again, but if there's a big advantage I'll gladly do it. If anyone can just explain to me what the major advantages for someone like me would be, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Seriously?  Did you read the post above yours about reading the entire post, including the first one?  This also includes stealth and more media compatibility over v2.1.  You can also flash without the f900 core since you dont use it to backup games.

this is a noob question...and please dont say READ the forums....bc i have....someone just answer it please......k so when i run this bat file in the command prompt....i know it automatically makes the backup and shit....but does it add the key from my original onto the new before flashing it....?  like does it take care of the key part automatlically?

Post by: caster420 on October 09, 2006, 06:34:00 PM
It backs your key up and thats all that needs to be done.  THe hitachi is not like the samsung, it only flashes certain sectors of your fw.  It does not flash the sectors with your key, so you only need to change it if you are putting it in another 360.

the only thing i can think of is...

you are taking advantage of the new ability for your hitachi to play all types of media burned with any number of burners.

you should all realize that using a cheaper or less compatible burner as well as cheap media, in any combination of the two, is going to stress your hitachi drive. plain and simple. the better quality stuff you throw at it, the happier it will be. that is just the nature of optics and whatnot. so do yourselves a favor, buy a pioneer for 31USD and some verbatims for a dollar apiece and you will all be happy.

moreover, why r u even playing your backups? why dont you just play your originals? those are likely to be the quietest running discs that you own... so they should be the ideal candiates for playing games. the backups are just there in case something happens to your original. just my two cents.


God damn, why are so many ppl ignorant on these forums?  I am using a PIONEER 111D to burn my backups along with VERBATIMS.  Who said anything about using 'cheap/no name media'?   Jeez.  I just flashed it and tested it with my existing verbatim backups [tried 4 different games].  It is now louder than the exhaust fans, this was not the case before the flash.

Thanks, this new version works great. I tried flashing a Hitachi before but that didn't go to well. I didn't brick the drive but it still couldn't play backups.

I didn't even need the revised BAT files to get this x360 working! Great job

when i put the disk in it comes up with the dvd saying, please insert into a 360 :SS:S:S

Yep, I have the same problem as the user above. Can’t get my backups to work. I have tried 2 different games now, fight night round 3 and table tennis, and none of them work. I have followed the readme exactly and no luck. I have a 47dj drive and each time I insert a backup, I get the 'insert in Xbox 360 screen'. I noticed that with the 2 isos that isobuster created, it came out with the exact same file size 7, 135, 744 kb, which leads me to think that isobuster is not reading the disk correctly. Has anyone been able to create a working backup by using the 47dj with the new firmware? If so, what method did they go about it and with what version of isobuster? I'm using the latest pro version of isobuster 1.9.1. and burning with dvd+r dl verbatim's with the pioneer dvr 111d which i cross flashed to a dvr-111L 8.26 and latest clonecd 5219. This has prompted me to go out and purchase the Samsung SH-D162c. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  biggrin.gif

Hi All,

Many thanx to Garyopa and Maximus for this wicked release, and Kreon for his firmware


To all who are having trouble backing up with Isobuster :-

It has become widely known how inconsistent this method is.......


Go out and buy a Samsung sh-d162c dvd rom drive and flash it with Kreon's 0.81 firmware. They are easy to buy in the UK, and don't be worried if they are being sold as sh-d162 drives, they are still 'c' drives. Expect to pay around £13-£15

Download latest Xbox Backup Creator - available from the usual places (Redline you the man)

Believe me it's worth it - you never have to open your 360 again, it still functions as a normal dvd rom drive, and it's a one button touch process to backup Originals using the Xbox Backup Creator. Backup takes about 10 to 12 mins. It also automatically sorts out ss.bin etc to produce a fully working stealth ISO after it's finished

Hope this helps

Liquid

You buy the drive, you put it in your computer, you flash the drive with the kreon fw and then you make backups with the program of your choosing.

 

All of the information is readily available in this forum/site.

 On some 64bit windows, the system will crash. The QFC and CHOP programs for some reason are not
64bit compatible, you can edit the batch files and change all places with QFC to "FC /B" without the quotes,
and then it should work on a 64bit windows. The next release from us will fix this problem correctly.

Well I'm successfully reporting back after a few hours of ripping and burning that I can create working backups using wxRipper to rip the games.  biggrin.gif  Just followed the process in maximus and garyopa readme to get the ss files and merged them with ss merger. Gonna start backing up those expensive 360 games I have until I receive my Samsung SH-D162c later today, hopefully. Just on a side note quickly, I can’t seem to find the emergency eject hole on my hitachi 47dj, is there even one with this version?  uhh.gif  I had to take the drive cover off to do the disc swap.

I haven't flashed my drive yet and was looking about to see what firmware to flash it with.

It's an Hitachi and everyone says this is the best.

However, people also mention 'Birdys' because of the media patch.

Does this latest Garyopa firmware have such a patch (I know it says it does), but just double checking? Is compatability still good.

I got an HP 840b writer and going to get some Verbatims (but would like to know if I could get anything cheaper).

Thanks.

I absolutely agree. You never know if you're going to get a good batch of media, no matter what brand discs they are. For instance, I just recently went thru a stack of CMC discs with 0 coasters. Also, it helps a ton if you update your burner with the latest firmware. BTW I'm burning with a Benq DW1620 burner.

Just a brief rundown of what I was working with...

ASUS mobo with onboard SATA (P4 series)
Windows MCE
Xeno Connectivity kit
Hitachi 47DJ 360 drive

Now I can put my Pioneer 111D to work.  And also change my sig. wink.gif

I was thinking of doing mine as i have already done it for other people when i heard about the new dashboard coming out for the xbox 360.

It will be an auto update that everyone will have to do, even if your xbox is not connected to the internet.
It will be added to the new games that come out from winter 2006 and onwards.

So what is making me think about is why does everyone have to have this update, is it going to contain some new code that will be able to check your firmware for any changes made to it.

It might have something to do with the new HD-DVD ROM drive that is coming out for the xbox 360 this christmas.

Can anyone else share any information about this upcoming update?

As for the release of the firmware updates - great work everyone (maximus - garyopa) keep up the good work.

Is there any other difference between the 'FLASH15S.BAT' and 'FLASH22S.BAT' apart from the f900 core? Is flash15s crapper, better or is the exact same thing as flash22s just without the f900 core? The f900 is ONLY required for ripping and extracting right?

Hi, can anyone please be kind enough to educate my newbie brain on what this means from the features list of this FW nfo file:

-Boots all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups

Does that mean my Hitachi box will (could?) be able to read backups that were done with my roommate's ms25 Samsung which was flashed with the xtreme FW?

Not sure I understand, I'm still new and did load of reading but I'm missing quite a few details about the backup part.

Hi people,

After a little help here...

This is the first time I've tried to flash my 360. I'm up to the stage where my drive is in modeb. I've downloaded the rar file from some torrent site and I'm having trouble getting to actual flashing part to work.

After I enter the "FLASH22S.BAT H 1572" part (obviously changed to my drive letter) into the command line, it comes up with an error saying that an XTREME file is missing. It also says to get the latest version and unpack it again. I've done that but I'm still getting the error.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

One question:What kind of stealth we need to play in the future in Xboxlive with backups without fear?
Media stealth?Firmware staelth?Media patch?What?
Please answer.Thanks again...


Stealth media is the most important one. And the way it currently stands, the Samsung is the only one capable of that. Stealth firmware is good and all but we don't even know whether microsoft can check the firmware properly or will ever be able to. On the other hand, checking the media is a 100% detection method which is why stealth media is so important. Luckily Microsoft don't run any of the media checks just yet but this could all change after the dash update.

Kudos to Gary and Co for stealthing our firmware but when are we going to see stealth media? Time is running out my friends, with a dash update in the pipeline, none of us are safe just yet.

I found an issue after upgrading to this new firmware onto the Hitachi drive.

My original xbox 360 game disks wont load after disc is inserted
and it will say "reading" on the dashboard and will continue trying to read the disc forever.

The technique I used to upgrade the firmware:

Hitachi-LG 59

Xecuter x360 USB Connectivity Kit v2.
Windows XP assigned drive letter (J) for the Hitachi
On the ODD adapter Mode B switch is down (LED is RED)
ODD, EJECT switch is UP (Tray open)   <- NOTE: Was told EJECT doesn't need to be UP when using this firmware? TRUE or FALSE?Updated firmware complete, flash complete, received the DONE and PASS line message.

Now it won't read originals.
Games I tried: Splinter Cell Double Agent, Battlefield 2
All games worked before firmware upgrade.

Is there anything that I am doing wrong or is it some sort of bug?
Anyone who knows what's up or has had this problem in the past, please let me know.

-Right On in advance


Oops! Correction my drive is a 58DJ not a 59.
I flashed it with the OPA xtreme 2.1 and it will read the originals; OPA xtreme 2.2 is the problem with reading the originals on the 58DJ Hitachi Drive.... ANY CLUES ABOUT THIS?

I have an Hitachi-LG 58DJ dvd drive and then flashed it with 2.2 with revised bats incorporated into same folder as 2.2 firmware... tried playing originals and backups and turns out both will not load... just keeps reading the discs.... anyone know what's up?

Later, restored back to original firmware and then flashed v2.3 hoping it would make a difference but it sure didn't, just did the same thing as the v2.2... please, help!

and later later, restored back to original and flashed with v2.1 which documents that it supports 58 drives, and all originals and backups work... what's up with the v2.2 and v2.3 not supporting the 58 drive?

Although great work on these firmware break throughs!

I have a 59b and flashed with the new xtreme v2.3, The flashing process goes fine but when I try to look at the data on the disc my computer thinks it is a DVD movie ( even with the isobuster program that is reccommended ). I have also tried xbox backup creator and it says that my version of hitachi doesn't support game partition unlocking.., after continuing anyway it reads all of the ss and dmi etc. but as soon as it tries to unlock game partition it says the read failed. Is this a common problem or am I doing it with the wrong firmware?? Isobuster only shows about 15 to 20 Mb of DVD movie files but xbox backup creator shows 6.82 to 7.?? Gb of total data, which should I be using??

Also, with the firmware flashed my 360 will let me play my two originals but when there is no disc in the tray and the tray is closed the dashboard says that the tray is open, if that helps with what is going on with my xbox.

I have read numerous tutorials all with about the same result, I have even flashed other fw with even worse results.

I would really, really appreciate all the help I can get.., I have been working on this for over a week.

Thanks,
Scatta

hello
i have flashed my 47d with FLASH15S because i tried with FLASH22S and when i put a original it say put the game on a xbox360.
after flashing it does the tray tweak for 1 time then return to normal,it´s ok like that?
FLASH15S is the same of the FLASH22S ?
tried 2 games in ridisc dl's and notting happens,reads and stop and say eject on tray,gonna trie with a verbatim to see if it works.
if runs original game ok then is flashed ok right?

regards from azores
