and the smart hack patcher for all drive
On the v79, it seems it will not allow you to dump your key and flash a v79
.You still need at this point to have the chip desoldered to get the FW file.
After you have the firmware file on your pc, It will be able to open the v79 firmware to manage the key and spoof it like any other firmware.

No firmware stealh or media stealth? bummer. I will wait and see what other people successes are.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but based on this quote:
"The Fw Stealth was a good idea but it has been proven that the fw could be readed by other means, indeed the newer versions (78+) does not have the need to implement stealth so I think it will not be used anymore."
it sounds like FW stealth isn't needed on 78fk drives, is this an incorrect asessment? Also, isn't media stealth a patch on the ISO not the FW? I guess I'm misunderstanding something here...

does this mean that it can read the keys when desoldering the tsop ect? or will this work via only sata now?
sits and prays lol

But
Good job on the new firmware, if its needed, i shall be upgrading for sure
Post by: HansiHusten on May 10, 2007, 06:47:00 PM
Well... i somehow feel naked without the F900 core and without the stealth stuff (even if it doesnt work)
But what do they mean with 78+ somehow dont need the stealth? I dont get that part..
So.. i think i will wait until 3.2 or so with more features, cause i already bricked a 46DJ with the restore.bat.....
Post by: ghettoc401 on May 10, 2007, 06:48:00 PM
P.S. When can we expect firmware that will support SL media?

Hitachi drives do not have currently have stealth media support, something which is needed in addition to the stealth firmware which is being removed for a complete media stealth.
Whether both will be supported again in the future is unknown at this point and we are placing hope in the added jitter support will take care of any security checks put in place, but honestly, I think it is too early to know what, if anything, MS has in store.

I just restore my drive (47DJ) and everything is going fine untill i need to flash it, im using USB-Sata so it says i cant use the internal flasher, i select 47flash.exe and it gives me a runtime error file not found even though the exe is in the folder.
Post by: NS360 on May 10, 2007, 07:35:00 PM
Erm anyone know the file size of the new firmware? I've just downloaded it but its only 693kb seems abit low.
Thanks

exact same situation here. 2 elites v78, both restored, and patch to new fw. both booted fine, both original and backup of my guitar hero II. havent updated dash yet on them, but will soon without worry.

Toolbox seems to HATE flashing the drive through USB-Sata, so for anyone else using one i recommend waiting a few days until its updated or a command line in which we can flash our premade 1.7 firmware in Dos is released.

The only problem with that is i think you have to input what sectors you want to flash and how big they are, seems quiet complicated to do and not worth risking your drive.

The application does not HATE anything, if you want to use old programs (46flash, 47flash, 59 flash) you can use it, but for 78/79 there is no such thing.
For those that are using USB-SATA, when dumping use CLASSIC Read instead of RAW, and when flashing (Direct FLash Patch/ Direct Flash Restore) click the checkbox labeled "Use Classic Mode to detect...", and also use the option "46flash, 47flash, 59flash" as needed. but again only for 59 and lower

No offence, but if you have read the posts we've all done that and used classic mode for the dumping and flashing, yet ALOT of us are having problems, with either getting a runtime error using the external flashers or it messing up the flash.

Q1.)I had the same question many months ago as I was in the exact situation then that you are now...
What to do: download Maximus-garyOPA Xtreme 8in1 v2.3r2 and run "restore.bat <your 360 ODD drive letter>" in the command prompt. You don't need the original flasher or original.bin firmware file because our Hitachi ODD firmware is only patched at certain sectors, not replaced entirely like Samsung. This will undo the patching and restore your firmware to original. Then just follow the instructions in the tutorial.txt in this new release and you're all set!
Q2.)Don't reboot between flashing, I didn't and everything turned out alright for me
Post by: travis134sg on May 10, 2007, 09:46:00 PM
I have a Hitachi v47
I have hacked it previously using Birdy's friendly Hitachi LG flasher
Because of stupidity I lost the original firmware bin
I am using a Windows X86 PC With a SIIG SATA PCI Card
I am using Xecuter's Connectivity Kit
I have my Drive connected properly and the ret LED is on indicating that the drive is initialized in Mode B
I take out all disks and start up my computer
It starts up ok and Windows recognizes the drive and assigns it a drive letter (D:/ because I disconnected all other disk drives in the computer just in case)
I run the program 360 FW Toolbox v3.1 and go to the tools menu and select Direct Drive Dump
I eject the disk tray, insert an original game disk, load the dvd tray, wait 20 seconds
When I try to use the RAW dump it gives me an error that "Could not read from drive"
I restart the program and this process several times with the same result
However when I use classic dump it works fine
It shows the Firmware key and shows that im using the hacked firmware that I installed before
I am not sure why it won't work with RAW dump, I think it might be my PCI card. How can I do the process using the classic dump? Or should I wait for an update or fix. Or should I buy another SATA product.
Thank you, I really appreciate this masterful piece of software. Please dismiss the asses who are ungratefull and keep up the generosity to the scene

what you may need is a new drive. I don't know much about bricking though. seems silly. But new drives can be had cheaply of ebay.. don't know exactly how that work either, so I'm just gonna stop talking now.

This is how I eventually got it to work so it may help you.
I reflashed the drive with the old working firmware.
Backups worked.
Then I used restore.bat again.
This time when restore.bat was done I didnt shut anything off.
There was no CD in the XBOX.
I did everything use classic mode.
When it came to write the final.bin file this time I used the default write, none of the flashXX options and it told me I had to insert a disc into the drive before flashing. This was new.
So I put in a disc, waited about 30 secs and the flash actually wrote this time!
I tried it and everything runs great.
Let me know if this helps you or if I can help any more.
Good Luck

This is because I do test with a 59 drive (using pure classic method) and worked fine, so maybe there is something that they are doing that the application should validate.
In that way it can be fixed easier and sooner.
TAKE NOTE THAT ALL THE FILES ON THE PACKAGE SHOULD BE ON SAME FOLDER (YES, ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING FC.DAT), the only missing file in the package is the tagdata.dat wich is your history for keys, you can keep that file from the previous version to keep your history.

Angrypoor: Can you check if the folder does have the "READ ONLY" attribute, this is because the toolbox needs to write some temporal files on the folder, so if the folder has read only attributes that could cause such errors.

So i see no need for concern atm, that could render you useless. If worst comes to worst, you dont get to play the halo 3 beta for a day or two untill its safe with old firmware. which is fine. You atleast waited out a possible brick for rushing this update. Someone is bound to try the Halo3 beta with old firmware, so wait untill its confirmed. If you are scared wait a week or two, and see if anyone with old firmware is banned. If not Take your chances, but don't risk a brick right now b4 beta you will regret it.
If you are super paranoid then wait, and see if anyone is banned 2 days b4 beta is closed. If not update to this new firmware, cause atleast by then. There will be better tutorials, and people willing to help you step by step to get this done perfectly.
****AGAIN DON'T RISK IT B4 BETA WE ARE STILL IN THE CLEAR, NO NEED TO RUSH*****
But hey if you know someone who is a professional firmware updater/modder then fine. But if not just take it easy wait it out untill there are better tuts, and testing done.

The Hitachi 1.7 patch is fine, the only problems are with the compatility of the methods to read/flash

There's a batch file missing. I was able to figure out what it did and flashed my 59 successfully.
The main program calls this file with the parameters of your drive and the sectors to be flashed.
Make a new batch file in the directory where you're running the program called flashasec.bat
(FLASH A SECtor
) and put ONLY this in it:%4 %1 %3 %2 1000
Now you can use the dropdown and pick 59flash or any external flasher and it will work.
I found this by running the filemon utility and saw it was calling a non-existent file called flashasec.bat.
Then I made one, putting this in to see what it was supposed to do:
echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9>>commands.txt
Once I saw the output of commands.txt, it was easy to determine what it was supposed to do.
After I flashed my drive, I did the patch compare and it said my drive firmware matched the one I was using to patch.
Post by: nanidin on May 11, 2007, 12:57:00 AM
On my first try, I already made original.bin and final.bin. Final try: I rebooted, ran RESTORE.BAT several times, made sure there wasn't a disc in the drive and began the differential flash. It made the sector list without complaining, so I tried to flash with the internal flasher and it told me I needed a disc in there. I left the dialogue up and popped in an original game and waited a while. It never did any autorun, and the drive never actually came up saying what it had in it in My Computer. I hit ok on the dialog, then hit flash and it worked! So if you're impatient, try this procedure... otherwise wait for the update.
Good luck!

=========
The credits are WRONG in the "README"
"c4eva" did the original idea for disc-jitter and coding for the v47 Hitachi firmware,
and all CREDIT and THANKS must be given to "c4eva" for IMPLEMENTATION of the JITTER on the Hitachi.
I (GaryOPA) did the work on testing and making sure "c4eva" original implementation
would work on all the other versions of Hitachi drives.
I then worked with Maximus in updating the Toolbox v3.1 and by the time we (Maximus/Garyopa)
had gotten it update and ready for release, "c4eva" had also already implemented the fix for the
other drives based on his original v47 design.

This will be corrected shortly on the front-page.

If you grab the 2.3 pack, you can run RESTORE.BAT and it'll restore your hitachi drive to the original FW.
are u sure? in the how to install inserted in toolbox 3.1 is written that a v78 cant be restored with that function but only with the backup of original.bin "To do a restore on Hitachi versions prior to 78 use the RESTORE.BAT file
that was included on those versions"
I can use a original.bin of another v78 drive?

sorry mate but with the 78 you need the org.bin which i lost when i upgraded to vista! Is there any way that i can use a orig.bin off another 78 and inject the key off my drive to get the original firmware back? Or will that not work. And i have read all the tuts and read me's that come with it!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
as i read through this topic, i see alot of people with Hitachi v59 and under, use this toolbox to dump/flash/restore their drives. Why are people doing this, because i thought this tool was used best to flash V78 only... >_<
The other firmware pack that was released by C4E, THAT is mainly used for v32-v59 drives.
I even see that someone has flashed Xtreme 1.7 firmware to a Hitachi V47 drive? is this even possible? The new firmware for V47 isn't that like 2.4 ?? I'm wondering if people lack the ability to read proper.
Look this is from the main post for the new C4EVA_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_4_Stealth
QUOTE
This version will not support v78 drives (use fw toolbox 3.1) but does provide the most stable flashing routines for v32-v59 Hitachi drives.
So there you have it, everyone trying to restore/flash/dump a Hitachi drive V59 and under with this Toolbox, they're too lazy to read perhaps?
This guy who bricked his hitachi and sais he hates the makers, probably was stupid as well to use this tool on his V59 drive.
And for V78 drive you WILL need your original firmware (like stated in the >README< ) >_<
Alot of ignorance i can see here no offense y'all but it's matter of proper reading.
So for repeat:
Hitachi v32-v59 use C4EVA_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_4_Stealth (=Xtreme 2.4 with disc-jitter fix) to restore, dump, flash! (for restore NO original firmware required!!)
Hitachi v78 use FW Toolbox 3.1 (=Xtreme 1.7 with disc-jitter fix) to restore,dump,flash! (restore v78 original firmware required)[/b]
Just because the news is saying, doesn't mean the dump/flash/restore function for V59 and under, will work with Firmware Toolbox... only the original firmware can be "smart hacked".
QUOTE
WHATS NEW ON FW TB V3.1:
* Added: Smart Hack Patcher now works for all Production Drives V40 thru v79
* Added: Smart Hack Patcher now works for all Production Drives V40 thru v79
And if you read this proper, you'll see that ALL Hitachi drives cannot be done yet just with FW TB 3.1.
QUOTE
By one side we are trying to build one solid application (toolbox) that would make easier the future Hitachi Releases (which currently its a pain because of all the variations) and by other side it incorporates Disc-Jitter check fix for Hitachi drives.
Last but not least i'm very grateful for these 2 new developments which'll keep us safe. thanks alot C4E , maximus and Garyopa. I've reflashed about 5-5 Hitachi so far. BIG THX WILL DONATE

yes if you get an orig.bin from the same model of drive (78) you can use FWtoolbox to change the key and make a correct orig.bin.
whenever i have flashed a 78 i have done so to a stock drive and hence had the orig.bin from the first dump..
apologies for the bad info!
soopahfly i would dump the FW on the hacked drives to get your key and then ask a kind soul to give you their orig.bin from a 78 and do the above then flash away my friend!!

Thanks for clearing that up. When I first logged into xbins there was no 2.4 there, just the new toolbox.
I'll try again...

pinned section at the top of the forum ( Faq, Links & Important Threads, PLEASE !!!READ!!! BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! ) as your subject is covered there under the section
-Changing your drive model /or motherboard (& Spoofing your drive) / correcting E66 Errors
There is a specific topic just for that identified there (How To Replace A Hitachi Drive, How To Flash & Spoof To A Different Model).
if you still have specific questions after that, do not hesitate to post them in that topic

I have a 47dh. I restored it to original. Now I put it in to Mode B using Slax. Boot up Windows. My drive is detected and is 100% in Mode B. I also have onboard compatible SATA (ICH6).
When I run toolbox and goto do a raw dump my drive tray automatically ejects after about 10 seconds.
If I hit the eject button on the drive once and load the disk the tray will stay closed.
When I do a RAW dump I get the "Cannot Read Drive" error.
I have read the tutorial and it says to eject the drive, how do you do this when every time I close the drive tray (hitting eject button 2x) it ejects within a few seconds because it is in Mode B?
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Next to the 3.1 toolbox it says "(FW package we currently recommend for this drive v32-79)", misleading.

Earlier today I went straight to "the usual place" without first checking the forum here first. I navigated to /XBOX 360/firmware/hacked firmware/Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L and look at the files in there and saw "C4EVA_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_4_Stealth.rar" with yesterday's date stamp on it. I grabbed it and applied it to my 59DJ and everything worked just fine.
I then come on here and see an update to this stickied post -> Pinned:: Releases, Tuturial And Guides by Xantium and see this under the Hitachi section...

So I think to my self "DAMN! I've got to take apart my X360 again because I've flashed to the wrong/older firmware!" Luckily, I then see your post jelle2503 and so you've saved me some work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thanks as well to all those that worked so hard on these firmwares for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)
