Title: 360 Flash Tool
Post by: ccfman2004 on February 16, 2010, 07:37:00 PM
I am trying to change the DVD drive as I don't want to use the lousy Hitatchi drive that my Jtag xbox requires.  I bought it without the DVD Drive.

I have dumped the CPU Key and the Nand.

Every time I click Patch the program crashes.

The xbox is a Xenon.

Is there another way to change the DVD Drive?  I'd like to change it to a Samsung or BenQ.

EDIT: I should also mention that I have tried multiple versions and on Windows XP and Windows 7.

Sorry to bump but I would appreciate some help in why it is not working.

Why can't you just do what you would on a 'Normal' Xbox 360 to change the DVD drive? Spoof it! tongue.gif
The easiest way would be to open JungleFlasher, load the DVD drive's firmware your changing it to (Samsung or BenQ) at the bottom. (Open Target Firmware)
Click 'Manual Spoofing'. Change 'Spoofed As' to the original DVD drive that was in there.
Enter the Original DVD drive's key at the top. Click 'Check'. Click 'OK'. Then flash it like you normally would. (Flash the Samsung or BenQ drive of course!) ph34r.gif
Done! pop.gif

Except you can't spoof iXtreme LT and that's what I want to use.

Why LT? It'd get banned on Live anyway regardless of the drive firmware


Absolutely - your console will be banned online for JTAG modification long before iXtreme firmware is detected.

I never said it was going online.

I still want to know why it is crashing.

I have tried both Windows XP and Windows 7.

So I'm assuming you're trying to patch the original dump from your 360? Are you able to open it ok in Degraded?

It opens up fine in Degraded with 0 bad blocks and no errors of any kind.

I have several nand dumps of other xbox's that I can't patch with 360 Flash Tool because it crashes when I click "Patch".

The only time that 360 Flash Tool did not crash when I clicked Patch is when I use v 0.88b in Windows 98 but the KV won't open even though I have the correct cpu key.

I think you just answered your own question. I don't think you can spoof a Hitachi as a Lite-On and use LT.

Even with the DVD key from the MB, I don't think you will get it to work.

Why do you want to use LT? You can use a non-stealth firmware to boot all waves. Just seems easier to every one else.

If you are successful in your endeavor, please post how you did it so others can learn from it.

I am trying to change the DVD OSID with the 360 Flash Dump Tool but it keeps crashing when I click "Patch".

Since the OSID is Hitachi which I don't want to use as they don't usually last too long.

EDIT:  If I use 0.88b 360 Flash Tool, I get an error when I tries to open the KV even though the cpu key is correct.

I enter the CPU key I got using Xell.

I load the Nand backup which also shows the DVD Key and drive type.

The problem is when I click "Patch", the program crashes.

I want to be able to change the DVD Drive and Drive key.  I can't since the program crashes.

You might want to try uploading the NAND etc to someone here (I'll volunteer) to try and patch it for you. It'll eliminate your OS.

I have tried both Windows 7 and XP with the same result.  I have also tried XP Mode in Windows 7 too.

It's not the nand dump either since I have tried other nand backups I have from other xboxes.

Here's the Nand backup

Just to confirm, I too was able to patch your NAND on XP SP2. I just downloaded FlashDumpTool from here: http://www.xbox-scen...ashDumpTool.php. I didn't even have it on my PC before now.

I've no idea why it was crashing on your machine tho!

I don't think you'll need my copy, but let me know if you do and I'll upload it for you.

I am using the newest one 0.91 that I downloaded from the same location.

I have tried Windows XP SP3 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit and XP Mode in Windows 7.  They all crashed when I clicked patch.

I still would like to find out why it keeps crashing.

What version of .NET Framework are you running?

What's your PC configuration? Make model of components?

For all the OSs you tried, were they fresh native installs?

I tried a completely different computer.  A Dell with a P4 1.7GHz and Windows XP SP3 and the program still crashes.

My computer I normally use is a custom build gaming rig with:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz
Asus M4A79T Deluxe
ATI Radeon HD 4780x2
4GB DDR3 1600MHz Ram
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
640GB Western Digital Blue
2TB Western Digital Green
2TB Hitatchi Deskstar
iZ3D 22" 3D Monitor

With Windows XP:
.Net 1.1
.Net 2.0
.Net 3.0
.Net 3.5

With Windows 7
.Net 3.5 is part of Win 7.

This is really bugging me.

On a 3rd machine I did a fresh install of Windows XP.  It still crashes when I click "Patch".

EDIT:  I would hate to have to ask for someone to patch it for me every time I need something to be changed.

I installed Net 1.1.  Still crashes
I installed Net 2.0.  Still crashes
I installed Net 3.5.  Still crashes

Anyway to contact the main author.  This needs to be fixed.

Well, I guess its time to start pulling out PCI cards! And if it has onboard video, the video card too! So its just the HDD, Memory, and CPU! biggrin.gif  lol Have you tried the older versions? (v0.88a, v0.88b, v0.90)

2 of the computers were virtual.

v.90 crashes when I click Patch

v0.88b can't decrypt the KV even though the cpu is correct.  I can at least click Patch and it does not crash.

It must be the 'DevKit' version, because I was able to change the 'DVD Key' and 'OSIG' with that. Try this. Otherwise, something weird is going on! unsure.gif

I finally got v0.88b to recognize the cpu key.  I can click patch to change the settings.

At least it has the setting for the 2 benq drive.

I still want to know why v0.90 and v0.91 crash when you click on Patch.

Again, WOW! I just tried this with every computer in my house. I tried 3 different computers all with Windows XP Pro SP3 (one was a DeLL), with all updates and also Windows 7, with all updates, and all worked!. lol Check to see if you have every update installed. For Windows XP, you'd have to goto there update website, (Start->Programs->Windows Update) not the update program. When you did a fresh install, did you install ANY programs whatsoever? Because if you didn't, then its GOT to be your computer is totally screwed up beyond repair and just throw it out the window. Seriously! lol  biggrin.gif

And heres something even crazier, if you have the time, you could try this. I had 'Ubuntu Linux' installed via Virtualbox. And you will never believe what just happened. I ran '360 Flash Tool' using 'WINE' and, you'll never believe this, IT WORKED!!! Is there even .NET in WINE!!! lmao I opened the original bin, clicked patch, set everything, saved it to a NEW file, and NO ERROR! Seriously? How messed up is that! So, somehow, it's got to be your computer! What I don't understand, is you tried multiple computers, and all wouldn't work. Now thats messed up! lol Ctrl+Alt+Del EVERY program, and see what happens, and I mean EVERY program! lol Try re-downloading the program. The MD5 should be: abdd3b0be7f6fa8cc6cbb2ade6bd551e

Something funky is definitely going on.  I just installed Ubuntu Linux in a Virtual Machine and 360 Flash Tool crashed when I clicked patch.  The MD5 matches.

I just had a friend of mine do it and it crashed on him too.

His computer is completely different then mine.

He has an Intel CPU and I have an AMD.
He has an NVIDIA video card I have an ATI.
He has DDR2 Ram I have DDR3.
He has Windows XP Home and I have XP Pro.

Any chance it's a region problem?

There has to be something different that allows you to patch and me to crash.

I even tried a different Virtual Machine Program and it too crashed when I clicked Patch, not the Program but 360 Flash Tool.

Is there anyway to contact the author?  I am not the only one who it crashes on.

I thought I'd throw this out there since no one else seems to have mentioned it. What software were you using to decompress the 360 Flash Tool archives? This may have been corrupting the binary. It could be the one step that you're performing the same on all those PCs and virtual environments. Try decompressing with 7zip stable and beta versions and see what happens.
