I assume we can only use this though for backups if the 360 has not been on live since 11-16. I have an old samsung ms28 that is in the preview program and played and xgd3 title fine for a while after the 16th, but then when I fired it up on the 23rd I got the unrecognized disc error as eveyone else has. So I assume MS must be doing some new CIV checks or something else that doesn't fully rely on AP2.5 data to stop all AP2.5/xgd3 backups from running on any 360.
In any case this firmware is probably the hardest to test & code given the large number of drive revisions and the fact that you can't buy fat 360's anymore. SO, with that said, many props to C4 and his team for pushing this firmware out despite the fact that LT+ v3.0 is already in the works.
I appreciate all your free, hard work and wait patiently for LT+3 to be perfected. Take as much time as you need. Better to get it right the first time!

they cant handle xgd3 backups. xgd2 backups are fine.
all xgd3 backups were burned by Burner Max and Verbs, works perfect with Benq LT2.0 and Sammy LT2.0.1

E66 shows `wrong drive revision` if you do secondary code, do you get 1002...
for a fix
1) Reflash the firmware with the correct Vendor version string using your computer.
Check some hashes, see if the vendor strings are the same in the firmwares for those who have it. Could be a REPACK due.
I had also thought 78 and 79 were new enough to be AP2.5 affected, where 46-59 are not. I could be vastly wrong here.

Well from my understanding is that for the games to work 100% you need to burn complete image on disc and the only way possible is with imax with ihas drive. Im guessing you dont play on live right.

Theoretically you are correct, but as far as I know no other LT 2 firmware on any other drive model has had problems with truncated discs. It seems weird that c4eva either would not have tested this with the Hitachis, or would not have mentioned that it doesn't work.
No, I'm not playing on Live, so I don't care about safety.

If you're having problems reading XGD3 backups it's more than likely tough luck. They put a massive strain on the laser of all drives for the first 5-10 seconds with crazy seeking going on (have a listen to the laser on any Xbox 360).
That's the problem, and, it's uncurable.

I have a Hitachi 79, spoofed as a Lite-On 83v1. The drive has performed wonderfully for years, up to and including LT 1.1.
Updating it to 2.0, however, leads to the red ring/E66 error ONLY WITH XGD3 games. (All my XGD3 backups are BurnerMax, Verbs, not truncated.)
Have flashed the drive with spoofed OSIG, and with stock OSIG, results are the same... Although not spoofing seems to take the drive longer to error out.
I'm nearly certain that there must be a flaw with JF or the firmware...although that doesn't explain why some people seem to be using it just fine...

What JF did you use? I'm thinking it might be the version of JF people are using. I've flashed a many of hitachi drives and never had a problem until now.
I use the burnermax and verbs and I always flash to stock. So what's the problem?I just used the newest one v0.1.90 Beta (292). Actually the original drive for this system was a 46dj and I replaced with a 78fk. I thought this might cause some problems, but none so far *fingers crossed*. Also I restored to stock first before flashing 2.0, and the discs I tested were MW3, SR3, GOW3, all burnt on Ritek discs @2.4x
Now that I'm reading through this thread, it makes me wanna test a little more. I didn't try Batman or AC Revelations. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why the same games are working for some, but not for others... and on same-model drives too.

That's because you cannot spoof drives when playing XGD3. XGD3 needs the original drive with key. You can however use a samsung under 79 in place of your original drive and inject your original key.

For 78/79 drives, there is a known issue, probably due to these drives supporting AP25, c4eva knows about this and is working on a fix, hopefully it will be soon so all Hitachi users can rejoice together at the greatness that is LT 2.0 Hitachi :-).
Post by: VivaLaMikey on November 28, 2011, 07:34:00 AM
Although i havent tried lt 2.0 as i sold the 360 with my v79 in it, i did however have a similar issue getting xgd3 originals to work.
Basically it was an old banned elite that i took the benq from for 0800 and replaced with hitachi v79. As it was an old console from the ban wave of 09 or whenever it had an old dash so when i flashed 1.91 to the drive the 360 didnt recognize it nor did the drive.
So i had to flash it to stock, insert xgd2 game with the dash update that reflashes drives to the revisions that can read xgd3 ORIGINALS, reflash with 1.91
I used Dead Island (xgd2 version) to do the update and after that the xgd3 originals played fine as well as xgd2 backups.
So for anyone having these issues if you are using an old console and or old drive you will have to sign into live or use a recently released ORIGINAL to update both drive and console to recent dash before the firmware will work.
Please note you do not need to spoof the drive to do the dash update that flashed the drive as it will not update all you need is your drive key and DO NOT USE A BACKUP to do the update as halfway through it will reflash your drive with stock firmware and when 360 reboots it can no longer read the backup then your stuck in a half update and may not have the original to complete update.
Sorry for the rant and hope it makes sense i sorta confused myself a little bit as well

XGD3 games (MW3 & BM:AC)do not load. XGD2 games load without any issues. Can someone with a 13599 dash confirm whether XGD3 games work or not?
Don't worry too much about the slip up. I have two 59s so when I flashed one that had update 13599 and found that XDG3 backups weren't working, I updated the 2nd system to 13604 and flashed it to see if the XDG3 backups would work (they didn't).
Although, considering that the Hitachi 59s are not supposed to support AP2.5 checks, shouldn't this dash revision not matter?

Can confirm that on a Hitachi 59 with the newest dash/live update, XDG3 discs burned with an iHas burner work. Although, every so often a burned disc when inserted will get an "Unrecognized Disc" error but then work again when reinserted. I dunno if that's a disc/burning method thing, if my 59 is starting to crap out on me, or if I need to do something to the drive laser.
I just received my iHas burner yesterday, installed, and burned about 4 different backups. All have loaded on my 59 without any errors. To all 59'ers with issues, be sure to update to the latest dash, firmware, and Burner Max firmware so you can burn at 100% (truncated burns have not worked on my 59).

Is it true you cannot play XGD3 games on a spoofed drive? or are some of us with V78's just unlucky?
