iXtreme v1.6 - Team HyperX -THX- *update* Posted by Iriez | May 15 12:49 EST | News Category: Xbox360 |
| >>A new release of the iXtreme firmware for BenQ, Samsung and LiteOn drives. Hitachi will follow at a later date (ETA unknown) as usual. Team HyperX Presents IXtreme 1.6 firmware for Benq, Samsung and Liteon drives Features: -Strict Wave 3 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot! -Strict drive speed compliance - 12x only for game discs! -Support for SS V2! -Integrated 0800 for game dumping including SS v2! -Full support for all known game exceptions! eg ddr etc! -One shot boot mode! - allows a one off boot of gamedisc without -stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time! -Support for easy drive key/version info cmd, same as liteon! -Strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)! More Info Strict Wave 3 compliance means wave 3 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 3 Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot SS v2 suports multiple timing samples for challenges type 5 and 7 , stroing them in the SS. This is a pre-requiste for SS v3 which has support for the so called AP2.5 check. Since this has never been used or may never be used by MS we will adopt a wait and see approach and continue to monitor for its usage. With drive in Windows mode (Tray half open on powerup) 0800 mode is activated allowing easy dumping of game disc including SS v2. In this mode the drive is also able to output drive key, fw version and drive type by using a simple custom inquiry command. Game exceptions are integrated in the fw for games that do not comply with the strict wave checks but are legitimate. These are Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Stoked, Ping 17 disk, afro samurai One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution. We apologize for the short delay, but we found some last minute bugs very late and wanted to make sure you guys are safe! As usual, modifying your firmware comes with NO guarantee for safety on xbox live. Why the name change? No reason, we just felt like it. -THX- -*UPDATE*- A repack was release for the LiteOn version. This repack was just a slight fix to the original release. The repack .bin has 'repack' as the file name, and the new upcoming JungleFlasher(info) will automatically recognize the new version, and discard any beta/old versions. Official Site iXtreme v1.6: n/a (By Team HyperX) Official Site JungleFlasher: http://jungleflasher.net Download iXtreme v1.6: n/a (May Be illegal under EULA/DMCA) Download JungleFlasher 0.1.60 Beta: here News-Source: xbins.org |
Post by: Iriez on May 15, 2009, 11:46:00 AM
A note - If you downloaded liteon 1.6 within the first 50 minutes of the release, you might have gotten a incorrect version. The time stamp for the bin should be around 1:21AM, not 10:01PM. This beta has a bug and it would be a bad idea to use it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The real final has REPACK attached to the archive and file name.

Anyone know if the activate.iso disc, is universal for all drives or is it drive specific?
I would think that it would be universal, but noticed that it's packed in each individual firmware folder and I was gonna consolidate all files into one folder and didn't want to delete dupicate files if it's drive specific.

Couldn´t download it yet, so I hope my question is not already answered on the .docs: Will we still need probes to flash Liteon, or once flashed it will be easier to play with, just like MS28?

Looks like the activate.iso is identical for all three firmwares, since the image file got the same CRC for all three.
On another note, Panda and a few other antiviruses claim activate.iso is infected, surely false alarm, but thought I'd mention it.

One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution.

So sorry guys , JF works fine with 1.6....
(What I did)
Loaded LiteOn as SOURCE in JF.....both BenQ and Samsung loaded fine (because they are true firmware, I would guess) and since we can't get a LiteOn firmware, it errors JF as a source file.
But it loads fine as target, so its MY BAD!

Post by: Reaper527 on May 15, 2009, 11:57:00 AM
from this point forward, if you link to the firmware, your account WILL be banned (not warned). this means those of you posting rapidshare links, mediafire links, where ever, doesn't matter.
you can remind people that its available in irc, you can tell people go to xbins, you can say google and hit the xth result, but NO direct links.

There is no way to "fix" and MD5, MD5 is a hash checking method that allows you to compare two files to see if they are or are not the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 Obviously something is wrong the liteon firmware, wrong file got released somehow.

BUT depending on how this plays out the version number in the firmware might be incremented and that change will change the stated md5 above. So do not count on that being in the repack for liteon ix16.

I am not worried about 1.6
I have it now.
I say lame because I need something else from xbins.
I was so hyped for 1.6 that I forgot something else and now I have the firmware, but not the other thing i wanted and...oh well...nevermind.

I powerd it up with the tray half open(to initiate 0800 mode), but XBC won't see the drive? Windows sees it, Device Manager sees it, but not XBC.
Is there a newer program to rip games with, or should i wait for the fix?

Read the posts above you.
The repack IS on xbins as of NOW. As noted though, it still doesn't have the firmware version listed when you pull it up in JF. That being said, I'm going to wait until the dust settles with all of this before I do anything. 1.51 does everything I need it to and I already have a Kreon drive....so I'm good to go.

damn i am sooooo glad i have not been able to get into binz...... and have refused to download it anywhere but there... sounds like there are still bugz to be fixed with the liteons! hope all works out brother... but i had a issue with my lite on upgrading it to 1.51... mine got locked up as well.. and sat there for 4 days... and some how some way got it fixed by doing this....
1: loaded pc normally with liteon turned on with x3 conector kit (drive closed all the way in)
2: hit lite on erase (did not get 0x72) thats ok
3: hit intro/device button.... did the power off/on button within one sec. (i then got my 0x72)
4: hit write button
5: outro button and all was done....
this took a couple different times as my pc locked up a couple times with the via card but it worked and i still find it much easier than the whole dos thing... as my has no option to boot with a usb and iprep...
good luck my friend!

Now the drive is not being detected and it will not eject/close! What can I do to get the drive back into its recognized mode?
Try sending the Outro/Reset command. If not boot into DOS as above and try Lite on erase then write 1.6 to drive.

What hes saying is your going to have to flash it in dos in order for it to be detected.
It is VERY hard to brick a liteon as long as you already have the key.
Had everything taken apart ready to go, the wife came home wanted to take the kids to the pool, I sia dno I gota flash my dvd drive... whle I was waiting for her to get ready I read throught e forum adn saw that the liteon file was wrong....
So glad she asked me to go to the pool instead of me waiting around to flash it witht he wrong file.

Good job....but I know that when you use non-stealthed or no split video games, you're probability on getting banned on live will be really high. I guess people who use this mode don't care about live.
its intended for future wave revisions. so say a wave 4 is introduced, and people make their backups of their new games, they won't boot. activate.iso will force these good backups to boot.
but yeah, i'm sure some people will misuse the feature and use it to boot unstealthed games and get themselves banned.

Okay, that's a relief. Can you point me in the direction of what exactly I will need? I know I need iPrep, but where can I get the files that I need to put into the bootable flash drive to erase the LiteOn and such?
You find that on xbins go to the samsung directory and old firmwires and there is a iExtream 1.5 shuld be like 2MB or something like that.

you need to get the fw from xbins & then,
iPrep is what you need - it makes a bootable USB & places the files onto there.
goto the link i provided a few posts up & follow the tutorial.

iPrep makes the USB bootable for with all the appropriate files associated with flashing your drive. All you need to do is load up your FW in iPrep and create the bootable USB stick.
However I would recommend to make a backup of your key in Windows *just in case*....

Not necessary, as long as you have the correct files on the USB (batch files to write, erase, etc on drive) then you can just load up an older FW and just replace it with the new FW on the USB (on the CFW folder).
Just make sure you rename it to the exact name or type the exact name you gave it in DOS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Did you try the firmware, or just assume it doesn't work because the version didn't show up?
No I didn't flash anything. I just loaded it and with no firmware version , I would take that as a big red flag for detection of firmware change from stock. All other firmwares always show up a version, so personally i'm sitten back and reading etc till it's ironed out.
And I never said it didn't work. The firmware might actually work fine. But if your drive is saying LOOK AT ME (IE no firmware version). I wouldn't recommend that procedure.

I stupidly rushed to flash my LiteOn with the newest iXtreme 1.6 firmware. Worked great until I realized that it would not boot Wave 3 games. I saw that there was a repack available and then decided to reflash with the working version of 1.6. Something went wrong in JungleFlasher while sending the intro to the drive, causing it to become unresponsive (I thought it was bricked), as in the drive was not showing up in JF anymore and it would not eject or close.
I made a bootable USB stick with iPrep and erased/flashed my LiteOn with the repacked 1.6 firmware. Went great! The drive is working perfectly again and it does in fact read Wave 3 games again (I tried playing H.A.W.X. with the first 1.6 FW and it said "Play DVD". After flashing with the repacked 1.6, it played flawlessly).

I just cannot understand the constant changes in layout and protection schemes...
I mean, they change, and a few days later, a new FW is released, then they change so a minor update is released, then they change and a week later yet another new FW is here....
I mean I know WHY they do it, but it just seems like a lost cause, really.
Honestly, I know alot of piracy happens out there, and I am NO angel, nor do I claim to be, but I would like the ability to backup my $60 games for safe keeping.

I pretty much have the same chipset (Intel EP45 ICH10R) & flashed my BenQ from v1.51 to v1.6 using JungleFlasher 1.59beta with no probz so I don't see why you couldn't flash a LITEON. Just make sure your onboard SATA ports are in Legacy IDE mode in your BIOS.

Works fine here, I flashed a BenQ using Jungleflasher 1.59 and everything works fine.
I read some people have questions about Activate.iso.
For information: Activate.iso and our old friend Enable0800.iso are samething.
So, at least for me I just put my old Enable0800 on drive and then next xtreme-non-stealth game just boot fine.
And, as Enable0800 , I guess active.iso need to be burned on a DL too. And don't use imgburn. Use clone cd instead.

Post by: BlackWar on May 15, 2009, 09:24:00 PM
that "ticking" sound you hear is the laser tring to focus on the disk, and it is going to excessive focus points to do it (moving all the way down to all the way up, then "snapping" back into its default resting point, just to try again).

flashing with JF 1.6 its all ok, with ixtreme 1.51 my drive still works, but when i spoof to ixtreme 1.6 and flash, i cant boot any games !!! even without wave 3.
what the hell is going wrong ?
the funny thing is:
with 1.6 ixtreme on the drive, i tried to create dummy, spoofed back to ixtreme 1.51 and flashed, and WORKED !! lol
so, i think its my procedure its all fine, maybe its something with this ixtreme 1.6
i am sure its repack (downloaded from xbins)

I don't know why people keep on insisting on this VIA-card. I just flashed my Benq with jungleflasher and with my laptops internal sata connector (some kind of AMD-sata controller), didn't even have to half-open the tray
All I did was click unlock Benq and then read, erase and write. Tested and working, thanks for the update!Because the VIA chipset/card is one of the few that's known to work properly with these drives. If your laptop worked, then that's good to know because some people need a more portable means of flashing drives.

With new JF update, flashing with Windows is impossible for me. Have to rebuild dummy.bin by hand (it nags about dummy.bin it itself just created). Writing stops in a second and everything freezes for about a minute (VIA 6421 card, ICH5), then says write failed. With 1.51 and JF .59 it all worked great.
Flashing in DOS works OK, though.
I'm sure this bugs will get ironed out soon, thanks team!
Are you running Windows Vista?
I've just done my first ever 360
Used a Windows Vista (32bit) Dell PC and put in a VIA 6421 SATA card.I kept getting lockouts when reading the original firmware, but after doing a 'right click' - 'run as... administrator' it worked a treat.
Used JF 1.6 with Benq drive. Worked a treat.

The laptop is Acer Travelmate 7520G. Hard disk contoller in device manager is just standard dual channel controller.. so it's using default drivers from Microsoft.

Nothing for Hitachi?
Well Hitachi is still the least safe drive to take on Live (if you don't need live you don't need ix1.6).
Also Hitachis are mostly on v1,v2 360s, those usually burn out. Plus they require different coding approach, that's why there's always a delay. I had 2 v1's burn out and 1 v2 until I got my v4 360 with upgraded cooling and Liteon drive (which is the best that came out for 360).

if the drive is excessively thrashing on just that one disk, then it could be a bad burn. If it does it on all disks, it could be a sign that the laser is just starting to go out, especially if it is getting worse.
that "ticking" sound you hear is the laser tring to focus on the disk, and it is going to excessive focus points to do it (moving all the way down to all the way up, then "snapping" back into its default resting point, just to try again).
oh yeah i am aware of what its doing, but i mentioned "touching the disk" becuase if you recall the old PS2 days the laser would actually damage the disk under certain circumstances when you replaced the laser and didnt calibrate it properly.
it very well may be just the disk, but i dont have any other wave 3 games and i am too lazy to stick in my original, well not lazy, the 360 is torn apart doing some cooling and lighting mods.
i'll have to try it later and see if i can rent a known wave 3 game too see if its only wave 3 thats doing it.

What should it be doing with ACTIVATE.ISO in the drive?

Is there any indication that ACTIVATE.ISO is working?
That "Please use this game in an Xbox360 Console" is the correct message that supposed to come up. Other than that, there is no indication that it works besides ejecting that disc out and putting in a non-stealth or Wave-X game and having it load up.
Funny thing though, when I first flashed iXtreme 1.6 Repack (using Jungle Flasher 1.59) the non-stealth games did not boot up for me after loading up the Activate.iso disc. I tried multiple times and nothing. I ended up reflashing the drive just for the hell of it, this time I used Jungle Flasher 1.6. Hence to say after the second reflash, the one-shot boot mode loaded up my non-stealth backups fine.
I'm not saying it was Jungle Flasher 1.6 that fixed the issue, what I am saying though that if your one-shot boot mode is not working and you know you have a valid working dual layer activate.iso disc (which as stated previously is also the old school Enable0800 discs), then your best bet would be to try to reflash your drive.
Activate.iso does not work on single layer discs for those who want to know. So don't even try to waste a disc for it. IT WILL NOT WORK...

If I insert my dvdkey using firmtool, it copies the entire block from $4000 to $4200, while jungleflasher only overwrites the dvdkey itself
In my original fw (ms25) the dvdkey is located at a different offset than in ixtreme (ms28-based), so there is some extra data that firmtool copies into ixtreme that jungleflasher does not

Well, here's a head-scratcher. I have two BenQ 360s here, I patched them both using Firmtool and Jungle Flasher latest versions to compare. The first BenQ produces identical hacked firmware using either tool. The other BenQ has a whole string of differences from E020 to E02F. I wish someone could explain the discrepancy.

No, when you insert an valid DVD5 backup using the one-shot boot method, the game boots up to the original xbox logo screen, then displays an error screen.
Interestingly enough, I also tested a few old valid DVD9 backups or original xbox 1 games I used pre iXtreme firmware, and those did not boot up also...

Well, Jungleflasher does notice the correct dvdkey location in both of the output firmwares, so I guess both of them will work. I'm really just curious which is considered the proper method of patching though. If the data that firmtool copies over from my orig.bin is related to ensuring my drive is recognized as original then I wouldn't want to use the one Jungleflasher made.
Personally I've always used firmtool's output firmware in the past and haven't had any issues / live bans, but a solid answer from someone in the know would be appreciated

you have not spoofed the firmware to target when creating your custom fw in Jungle Flasher.
at the moment it looks like you don't have the correct DVD drive key in the iXtreme fw.
you need to 'Spoof to Target' when in Jungle Flasher so that your unique DVD Drive key is added to the iXtreme 1.6 firmware.

I copied the serials from my drive and used Geremia's (sp?) tool to integrate it into the hacked firmware, you shouldn't need to extract them from your dump, just double check when inputting them (the tool rejects invalid serials anyway afaik)

That's such BS, it is only speculation that it *might* be somehow detectable, and even if that was the case, there's no evidence that M$ could possibly rely on that data for bannings. Even the stock firmware falls back to slower speeds if a disc can't be read at 12x.

I myself tested lower speedsettings with the 1.6 FW and can emphasize
that the FW either does not include such a check or the check does not
work.
Anyway, like I already wrote in an earlier posting: The drive is
constructed in a way that it lowers the speed by itself from
12x to 8x to 5x to 2x in 3 steps if necessary. That is a specially denoted
behaviour, which is also described in the XBOX SDK.
Therefor these speeds are expected by the 360 kernel and
applications to occour. Using these speeds does not include any risk
of being banned from LIVE at all, because they are supported and
may happen under normal use.

that the FW either does not include such a check or the check does not
work.
Anyway, like I already wrote in an earlier posting: The drive is
constructed in a way that it lowers the speed by itself from
12x to 8x to 5x to 2x in 3 steps if necessary. That is a specially denoted
behaviour, which is also described in the XBOX SDK.
Therefor these speeds are expected by the 360 kernel and
applications to occour. Using these speeds does not include any risk
of being banned from LIVE at all, because they are supported and
may happen under normal use.
Recognizing the 360 can - and does - change drive speeds at times, I'd still like to play devil's advocate here and ask another question.
Wouldn't it still be possible for the 360 to attempt to read a disc at 12x speed - and then not be allowed by the drive's f/w (assuming you've changed it to a lower setting when flashing)? From there, couldn't that be logged - the fact that it tried reading at 12x speed but wasn't allowed to do so at all?
Your arguments make sense but, in each situation, the drive speed always started at 12x and then went down from there if needed. If the system isn't allowed to start at 12x speed, could that cause an issue that's possibly detectable?
Finally, what do you guys know that C4eva and Team HyperX doesn't know? With *no* disrespect intended - they've been the ones creating the firmware and have had all the right info in the past. If they're telling us that M$ has possibly used drive speed as one of the detection methods in past ban waves, why shouldn't we believe them?
You guys are acting like people are saying M$ will ban you solely for using a non-12x drive speed f/w. Nobody is saying that. However, what they are saying is that they believe drive speed was one of the many factors used in previous ban waves. How is reducing the number of ways M$ detects people - or eliminating one of them altogether - a bad thing?
The bottom line is - do what you want to do if it makes you happy. But until C4eva and Team HyperX says something different, I'll respectfully choose to listen to them first.

Complete BS and speculation, not to mention such a simple theory that assumes they only have code to detect what speed a drive is running at any given time. A check could be built into what speed the drives attempts to spin the disc up at first.
There goes your theory. Just buy a hard drive and stop pirating games. Only people who are that stingy to COMPLAIN about this, something they've been given for free are people who pirate games...also too stingy to buy a fucking hard drive.

I copied the serials from my drive and used Geremia's (sp?) tool to integrate it into the hacked firmware, you shouldn't need to extract them from your dump, just double check when inputting them (the tool rejects invalid serials anyway afaik)
I used dosflash, your mileage may vary, JF just didn't work no matter what I did.
thanks man, i'll give that a shot

You're mistaken, c4e has never said M$ has used drive speed as a detection method, ever. There's not a single Live log indicating anything of the sort, and no one has said they believe drive speed was a factor in any ban waves, period.
What c4e has said it that he thinks it could be potentially detectable someday, no matter how unlikely, and therefore it's not something he wants to support any longer. I understand that position. But that is a very far cry from saying it has caused ban waves.

You weren't directly responding to me, but I'll tell you I have multiple 360s, and I have more than enough disposable income to put 120GB drives in my 360s, and I still hack my firmware to run at 5x. It's not because I'm cheap. It's because I have way too many games to rip them all, and a house full of kids with fickle tastes and short attention spans who (see "Murphy's Law") seem to never want to play a game that's already on the hard drive.

QUOTE

Never did I say C4eva specifically said they absolutely, 100% used drive speed to ban people. However, what I did say is that C4eva said it has possibly been used. Let me say it again just to be sure we're on the same page...possibly.
Further, didn't I even clearly clarify myself in the same quote??

While it wasn't on this forum, I - in fact - have seen comments directly from Commodore indicating he believes drive speed could have been a factor. You can't dispute that because, unless you're him, you have no clue what he's said in any particular comment. You can disagree with it - and I respect your opinion.
I'd just appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth in the future. Clearly, in this case, you're the one who's mistaken about what I said. Not me.

That statement is factually inaccurate. The word "was" has a distinct meaning. Saying drive speed "was" a factor used in previous ban waves asserts that it definitely occurred, which is not what "they" said at all. What "they" did say is that maybe it occurred, but "they" have never captured evidence of it occurring, so "they" simply do not know either way.
Now you are attempting to revise your statement by misquoting yourself and replacing "was one of the factors" with "has possibly been used and "could have been a factor."
There is a distinct difference between saying something "was" a factor vs. saying something "could have been" a factor. I disagree with your original assertion and agree with your revisions. End of story.

Well, there is an error in your interpretation of your
perception.
The drive sets the read speed on it´s own according to
the media type. Actually the drive does not even support
a standard command to set or detect the currently set drive
speed. Indeed that would not prevent the kernel to measure
the read speed. But the kernel regards the denoted lower
speeds as valid, because they are an intentionally supported
measure by the drive´s ecc algorithm. So it wil not regard
them as suspicious.

Jungle flasher stopped recognizing the drive and my ck3 pro won't eject it. I put it back in the 360 and I get one flashing red light with e 64 and the drive will not eject. this is the 7th time Ive flashed a drive and never had anything like this happen. If worse comes to worse Im assuming I can just flash another liteon as i have a backup key but is there anything I can do to save this one?
Same thing happened to me when I was upgrading a drive from 1.5 to 1.51. What i did was create my lite_CFW.bin in JF and added it to a USB stick along with L O Erase, Dosflash etc. Erased it again with L O Erase and wrote the FW with Dosflash. That solved the problem for me.

Some may think that is unsafe due ban risk at live; they might be right. Anyway, I've been very confident about my own experience with iXtreme 1.4 5x since it was released in decembre of 2007.

thanks
Point One to cover: changing drive speed. This is taken right out of the readme that came with the FW
QUOTE
Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot
Hopefully this will get people to STOP ASKING ABOUT CHANGING THE DRIVE SPEED!
2nd point to cover. A little searching in the 360 backup forums (yes, there are other sections of this forum then just this one) would have showen you that due to the nature on how the new built in 0800 ripping code works, a new ripping software has to be released. According to redline99, the new XBC is basicly done but needs more testing before it will be released. watch THAT forum for more info on this, not this one!

Post by: BlackWar on May 20, 2009, 09:23:00 AM
as for making backups with the new fw, you need to wait for the release of the new XBC that supports the new code in the 1.6 fw. Last I heard from readline99, was that it is basically done, but it needs to be tested more to insure it is working properly.
Post by: Toddler on May 20, 2009, 10:29:00 AM
If you open the firmware in a hex editor, you'll find three locations which control the drive speeds:
0000BFB1
0000BFBD
0000BFC9
In the "official" 12x firmware, those values are as follows (0C = 12 in hexadecimal, 08 and 05 are obvious):
0000BFB1 = 0C (12x)
0000BFBD = 08 (8x)
0000BFC9 = 05 (5x)
The first location controls the max speed. The second and third locations specify fallback speeds. So in the iX1.6 firmware, the default is 12x, with fallback speeds of 8x and 5x. Now for the edited firmwares:
8x:
0000BFB1 = 08
0000BFBD = 08
0000BFC9 = 05
5x:
0000BFB1 = 05
0000BFBD = 05
0000BFC9 = 05
2x:
0000BFB1 = 02
0000BFBD = 02
0000BFC9 = 02
These are the identical drive speed settings that c4e himself included in iX1.41.

0000BFC9
In the "official" 12x firmware, those values are as follows (0C = 12 in hexadecimal, 08 and 05 are obvious):
0000BFB1 = 0C (12x)
0000BFBD = 08 (8x)
0000BFC9 = 05 (5x)
The first location controls the max speed. The second and third locations specify fallback speeds. So in the iX1.6 firmware, the default is 12x, with fallback speeds of 8x and 5x. Now for the edited firmwares:
8x:
0000BFB1 = 08
0000BFBD = 08
0000BFC9 = 05
5x:
0000BFB1 = 05
0000BFBD = 05
0000BFC9 = 05
2x:
0000BFB1 = 02
0000BFBD = 02
0000BFC9 = 02
These are the identical drive speed settings that c4e himself included in iX1.41.
Man, I am getting tired of constantly quoting this from the readme file that comes with the 1.6 FW, and this is pulled from the readme that comes with the benq 1.6 fw....

-Strict drive speed compliance - 12x only for game discs!
Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot
Yes, we know the location of the drives speed setting, but if there is a "strict drive speed compliance" check in the FW, do you not think that buried someplace else in the FW that checks those locations and insures that those settings are not altered?
There is a reason why that check was put into place, and that is because it is *speculated* that the drive speed *might* be linked to bannings.
But, hey, dont take my word for it or C4E's word for it. Go ahead and try changing the drives speed setting in the latest 1.6 ixtreme FW and see if anything loads. If it does by simply changing those locations settings, I will eat my words....

Obviously, from previous posts that I've made, I don't advocate changing the drive speed in the new f/w's. However, I get the feeling you'll be eating your words soon as I doubt the people who have posted (after changing the drive speed in 1.6) did so *without* making sure it booted games first.
There's been several people at this point who *claim* to have changed the drive speeds with success. Yes - they may be at a higher risk of getting banned but that's their choice. If they don't use Live - at all or on the modded console - there really is no risk...assuming it boots the games.

I have read several posts (in this section and other sections of this forum) stating the locations (such as the one I quoted above) on where to make the changes, but I have yet to come across any posts of anybody actually doing it (or as you put it, *claim* to have done it) successfully.
Now, I am not doubting you (nobody thought anybody would be able to play a backup on a 360 without a mod-chip....well, look where we are now
) but I would like to see such posts myself. If you could post a link (or links) to the post(s) that make such a claim so I could read them myself and ask a few questions their myself as to how exactly it was done.The reason for my curiosity is how they managed to bypass such a check considering how much testing went into this to prevent people from doing it.

Oh yes - I forgot this forum is *the only* one that exists.
See the post above mine and let's all stop the BS about not being able to change drive speeds. Should people do it? Probably not. But to think it can't successfully be done is ridiculous.
As quoted in the latest f/w release 'Strict drive speed compliance...(as it relates to 12x speed)...' is only as good as the data coded within the f/w itself. If that data is changed from 12x to say 8x or 5x, suddenly, that 'Strict drive speed compliance' is changed to ensure compliance with a totally different drive speed.
Nobody is bypassing the check as you stated. They're modifying it so that it checks for a different speed.
I don't remember seeing anything coming from Team HyperX indicating a lot of testing went into this solely to prevent people from being able to change the drive speed. Did I miss something?
As if nobody's ever said something will not work when modified - even though it will - in an attempt to keep people from trying to change it...

Rest your fingers then, because what's written in the readme file seems to be irrelevant.

What was written in the readme implies the firmware won't boot a disc unless it's spinning at 12x. Maybe that was a bluff, maybe it's coded wrong...all I can tell you is that doesn't seem to be the case. If that bothers you, you'll have to take it up with c4e.

Yep...I'll take my chances. I've been running at 5x on two 360s for over two years. I'd rather buy a new 360 every November than listen to the 12x all year long. My money, my choice.

I would have thought that C4E and the team would have put more effort into it to back up their claim, but then again, how much can you really do with 256k?

I already wrote several times in this thread that I did test it myself.
There is actually no check in it that prevents lower speeds from booting.
The quote in the readme you are constantly referring to is not correct.
Just read it this way: The v1.6 release is just 12x.

1.do you need disk for wave 3 games?
2. is their a games list yet for the iso disk
3.i use xbc for games sammy & pioneer do i still have to use iso disk?only play 360 games no xbox1 games

If you got good stealthed backups 100% equal to the original, the iso disc is useless. The disc is just to boot non-stealthed games. But it is not wise to use it, cause it spoils live security.

Don't suppose there's an update on when 1.6 will be available for Hitachi?
Never mind when the ETA is on Hitachi drives for this release (since it says there is none right in the first post), but I'm wondering how long has it been on average in the past? We could probably base our assumptions (ballpark anyway) on that.
I'm just curious since I'm still on 1.4 and can't play wave 3 backups. I've decided to wait until 1.6 rather than do 1.51 since the guy who does it charges me $20 each time.

Could samtool be incompatible with the 1.6 fw ?
Use firmtool over samtool. Samtool's code is extremely dated.

Buy yourself another drive ie benq or lite on get frimware off current one yourself and spoof it to bought drive
Then get updates at same time as rest of us and have better drive (anything better than hitachi imo)
if i could figure a way to stick my firmware on liteon dvd drive which is basicly the same as xbox one then i could in theory save myself some money on new drives nothing to do with anything i know ..

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd rather not replace my drive. Anytime it comes to taking a console apart, I like getting the professionals to flash my stuff anyway.
I'll wait for the update. I was just wondering if anyone knew ballpark how often it normally takes for the Hitachi release to come out. Two weeks, a month, two months, etc?
