Commodore4eva Xtreme FW for Hitachi 46D and 47D and 59 v1.1 *Revision 2* Posted by XanTium | June 22 23:36 EST

Commodore4eva (already known for the modified DVD firmwares he released for the Xbox1 Samsung drive, Toshiba-Samung TS-H943, Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L 47D and Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L 46D) just released the modified DVD firmware (FW) for the Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L drive with FW 59. This release also includes the previously released firmwares for Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L 47D and 46D. Commodore4eva also said he will release a 'Xtreme0800 firmware' for the Hitachi-LG drive that will allow you to dump the security sector (SS) of original discs with this drive too (currently only possible with the Toshiba-Samung TS-H943 drive). 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 protect 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). From Commodore4eva (c4e) on xboxhacker.net: [QUOTE] Xtreme firmware for Hitachi 46D and 47D and 59 Xbox 360 V1.1 Here it is, the long awaited World first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification to boot game backups on all Hitachis! 59 version has not been tested on physical drive, neither has flashsec47 or memdump on this version of the drive! I am working on an Xtreme0800 firmware for each Hitachi to enable you to dump ss/backup your game originals and will release when done. Features: * Now for all 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. 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] *UPDATE* Commodore4Eva released 2 revisions of this new 59 FW. So make sure you get the second revision if you wanna try this hack. What's new/fixed: * moved dd up a couple of bytes (rev 1) * fixed bug in drive decrypt (rev 2) News-Source: xboxhacker.net forums Download: n/a (might be illegal under DMCA/EUCD) Xbox-Scene FW Install/Usage Guides/Tutorials: here

Your a machine dude.

i have tested and can confirm the firmware for the hiatch 59 works great, for some reason it boots a wider range of backups than the other two hitachi versions (without hdtv/hardrive trick), for me atleast. BTW if your wondering how i know this i have 5 ntsc-j xbox 360's, that i bought over time. My brother lives in kyoto, and can purchase them dirt cheap. So i got the "hookups" i guess...

Probably your burner and media , Pioner burner with Verbatim and Memorex media dont need the tricks.

My 47 drive flashed fine, this one (version 59) is giving me problems:

> flashsec47_win f xtrm-e.bin 9003e000 1000
DeviceIOControl() failed 0
failed to configure upload (sense: 05/26/00)

I tried the command at least 25 times...

The drive is in Mode-B and I was able to make a backup of the stock firmware from it.

Any ideas?

[foundmy]

does anyone know if the hitachi drives with rom rev: 32CE will be compatible with any of these files, or do we need to wait for a 32CE FW hack to come out?

[ripper22]

Are you sure you drive is a rev:32CE? Maybe it stands for another type?

I am very grateful for commodre4eva

Commodore4eva also said he will release a 'Xtreme0800 firmware' for the Hitachi-LG drive that will allow you to dump the security sector (SS) of original discs with this drive too (currently only possible with the Toshiba-Samung TS-H943 drive).


1. so is he still working on it or not just released it yet ?

2. making region free 360 like going (from pal to ntsc) ?

3. anyway of connecting xtra dual sata cable and dual poweplug so you dont have to open x360 for backing up games ?

meaning once flashed firmware to backup my originals like many people i dont have tv (plasma ) in the same room.

I got to take 360 from 1 room to another, dont wont to leave it open due electric interference!
any possiblity to add dual wires coming out of 360 from dvdrom drive just attach !!!!!!


as i said beginning of this i am very grateful ... and thank you
