Commodore4eva Xtreme FW for Hitachi-LG 46D and 47D Xbox 360 v1.1, 59 Soon
Posted by XanTium | June 18 22:51 EST
Commodore4eva (already known for the modified DVD firmwares he released for the Xbox1 Samsung drive, Toshiba-Samung TS-H943 and Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L 47D) just released the modified DVD firmware (FW) for the Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L drive with FW 46D. This release also includes the previously released Commodore4eva Xtreme Firmware for Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L 47D v1.1. Commodore4eva also says he will release a version for the Hitachi-LG drive with FW 59 very soon (it's finished, just needs some testing prior release). To find out what brand of DVD drive you have click here for the 'tray check'. If you have a Hitachi-LG drive and you want to check your FW version, you'll have to open your Xbox 360 (void warranty) and check the label on top of the DVD drive (see red circle below - that's a 46D drive).
For more information about how to install and use the modifed DVD firmwares (so you can make safety-backups and protecting your expensive originals from scratching), check out our collection of Xbox 360 DVD firmware guides and tutorials (install fimrware, pot tweak dvd drive, backup/restore FW, burning, SS patching and extracting, dual boots, ...). Use it all at own risk of course - a simple mistake might very well completely break your $400 Xbox 360. Also important to note ... make sure that when you patch the drive with this FW it's 100% successful. If not try again - do not shut down PC or Xbox 360 till it's 100% successful! And just like with the other firmwares you will have to burn your games on dual-layer DVD+DL discs (even if image is below 4.7gb ... this is because of security checks on layer0) and you'll have to use raw/unedited images patched with the Security Sector (SS - that can only be extracted from originals by the TS-H943 drive at this moment) and of the same region as your console (or if game is regionfree that's fine too of course).

Here it is, the long awaited World first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification to boot game backups on both Hitachis! 46 version has not been tested on physical drive, just use restore.bat if any issues arise and I will respond with any bug fixes if needed!
Features: * Now for 46D Hitachi drives! * Boots all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups * Boots all Xtreme Xbox 1 backups supported by emulator * Boots all Xbox 360 originals * Boots all Xbox 1 originals supported by emulator * Use on Xbox Live at own risk
Technical details: * Security sectors are read in this order: * Reads Xbox 360 security sector from PSN 04FB1F (Layer 0) * Reads Xbox 1 security sector from PSN 605FF (Layer 0) * Reads Xbox 360 security sector from PSN FD021E (Layer 1) * Flashes sector 9003e000 (Master Checksum) * Flashes sector 90035000 (Security Sector Read) * Flashes sector 9001c000 (Drive Response Table Decrypt) * Flashes sector 90003000 (Custom Code) * Flashes sector 90027000 (Challenge Response)
Flashing your drive: Xtreme.bat automatically makes a backup of your dvd drive firmware called orig.bin and renames existing orig.bin nine times. Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360. Ensure Hitachi drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd. Go to Windows. Run Xtreme.bat batch file from a dos prompt specifing drive letter eg "xtreme.bat g". Pause has been added after each flash, just press any key to continue. All done!. Run Restore.bat to revert to original firmware eg "restore.bat g".
Media detection on Hitachi: Due to the Hitachi drives detection of Book-type DVD-Rom dual layer media taking longer than other types of media (you will hear click click noise, security sector read routine has not be executed at this stage!) this can cause the Xbox360 dashboard to timeout causing open tray prompt. This is normal operation for the Hitachi drive and has nothing to do with the security sector read routine or any of the Xtreme firmware patches. Use the HDTV switch/HDD trick to soft reset the console (this doesnt reset the dvd drive) eliminating the timeout issue.
Unreconized disc/dirty disc error is due to incompatible media/burner/SS for use with Hitachi. Best results are found using Verbatim media and Pioneer burner.
Hitachi drive version 59 has been completed and will release once verification of flashsec/memdump working with this drive.
Thanks to everyone at Xboxhacker.net for all their discussions. Thanks go to Seventhson for flashsec and memdump and Loser for firmcrypt, without these tools this would not be possible. Thanks also to #FW on IRC for support/discussion Commodore4Eva [/QUOTE]

Well...just burn an xbox1 dvd+r with bitsetting to dvd rom, and put in an LG/hitachi xbox1 drive......and you can hear the click click..... I think that all the media problems are due to the bitsetting, LG drives reads bitsettings dvds making that weird clicking noise....
