News on Lite-On DG-16D5S 1175 Drive *Updated* Posted by XanTium | December 15 19:55 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From c4evaspeaks.com: [QUOTE] Work on this drive is temporarily suspended while v3.0 is in progress for other drive models. The original fw of the DG-16D5S 1175 drive was dumped several months ago, shortly after the drive first began appearing in retail units, but employs a new encryption that is different from the older DG-16D4S drive model. There will be no further progress on cfw for this drive until the encryption algorithm is reversed and the ofw decrypted. [/QUOTE]

Damn, I got my hopes up when I saw the title, just to have them crushed again after reading the article... Well, I'm sure c4e and the scene will be able to crack this one as well, but atm I'm more interested in RGH on Corona...

one day it will be out just when who knows

[D2C MASTER]

Not the news I was hoping

Are Lite-on 1175 drives everywhere now or will it be while for 0401 drives to disappear at the store? M$ is not giving that means c4eva did a good job.

if they can get the key they should at least say how because all u need is the key to use an odde

Article clearly states new firmware has encryption which is different from older drives. So key a d the board won't do the job.

[scorpionrecords]

I guess is not the same method being used for old drives like drilling or capacitor?

[michalss]

yeah at least key i need to get OOD emu I hope this will be possible soon

In my experience (in the UK at least) Lot No. 1131X and under are not 1175, 1132X seems to be a mixure of Corona/1175, Corona/1071 and Trinity/1071. In other words 1131X appears to support drive flashing and RGH whereas 1132X is a bit of a lucky dip.

Again, this is just my experience.. best to check the maunfacturing date agaist the database www.360drives.com

Sounds interesting, can't wait to see how this one plays-out, does anyone know how the have extracted the dump? (Decapping or other?)


I wonder what this drive has in-store

[blastagator]

As long as you don't have the newest mobo (Corona) you can RGH it to get the key and then revert to stock. A bit of a pain in the ass just for the key, but hey it isn't that bad

(Not sure if this drive is only in Corona boxes or if it came out before Corona. I think the drive came first but not sure.)

How much you guys want to bet that team xecutor and the rest of the boys will came up with a new "spear" and some other crap they want to sell us only to become obsolete within a few weeks/months. Even if there was a software o kamikaze type of mod they wont let anyone know....why you ask??.... becuase then they come up with something new to sell us. Sometimes hardware is needed like for the RGH, other times hardware is not needed like the " LT Switch". They pushed the LT Switch down peoples throats when they knew of other ways to retrieve the dvd key. And the list goes on ladies and gentlemen. Monopolization at its finest.
