you spoof an drive with the drive original firmware so you would need an Hitatchi lite 2.0
if he is going to flash the Liteon 2.0 to his Hitatchi drive thats not good. Smile

nope no problem, used the xbox itself for powering and it went in vendor mode inmediately after unplugging and reconnecting it. used my left elbow to press the enter on the keyboard to give the command while unplugging with the right hand because i read you had to do it fast Razz

So you pulled out the main power cable from the drive itself? Can you tell me exactly how you did it, from scratch?

When i come back this evening i'll tell you, but it's written here also on the last couple of pages, just unplug the main power cable and inmediately after hitting the erase liteon button ( in my case ) in jungleflasher plug it back in and you're done and the drive will be in vendor mode. it might cost you a couple of tries but then it goes in vendor mode eventually. ( i had done it before but together with a friend of mine and he had a special device for cutting the power off and on but i saw he didn't manage on first try that time. )

Cheers! Appreciate it. I know there are a lot of posts explaining how to do it. But since this is the first time I'm attempting it, I don't want to leave any loose ends, lest I end up frying my drive. Smile

So, does that mean I cannot spoof an Hitachi drive to Liteon? I just have to wait for the Hitachi firmware?

Questions. I will flash my drive to LT 2.0 today. I will have someone else to do it for me. I have also read up on the Xk3y and considering ordering one. Will I still have to update my firmware in the future - ie opening up my box every time there's a new FW? I guess I still have to do that? If not I am really considering the Xk3y both for the ability to store games on HD and the convenience of not having to flash drive all the time.

I doubt you will have to keep flashing your drive with xk3y, that would kinda ruin the purpose of the key. If you are tired of flashing, and dont care about xbox live, go order one Smile

Personally i dont see the problem in flashing every fourth or so month.

Yeah, but I am just too lazy to learn it. I'd rather pay $15 to have someone else do it that keeps 100% up to date with the scene.

Well, I am still not able to play xdg3 backups Sad
Yesterday I reflashed my drive to LT-2.0. Burned gears3 like "acida" advised me but no luck. I also tried my dark souls backup but stil no luck.
My old backups work great.
Now I run out of DVD. So, I cannot try it until buy new ones. The only idead that comes to my mind is that my dvd burner is "broken". I need to burn some non xdg3 game and see if it works

I have an Hitachi too. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that XGD3 backups don't work on spoofed drives.


May the NFOrce be with you always.

I'm now 99% sure the layer breaks are wrong in the dvd files. I burnt two copies of Driver last night, one with the default from the .dvd file and allowed Imgburn to deal with it (so it takes the value) and the second I set manually to 2086912.

The first burn will not install. Seems to play off disc fine but maybe I've not got far enough to hit a problem. The second disc installed just fine.

I also think the same. On some DVD rw's imgburn atomatically sets the layerbreak to 2086912 so the burns are good. But on other writers it stay as it's in the .dvd file and the result is wrong layerbreak and erros on the 360. In the end setting the LB to 2086912 fixes the issue for many people and the result is the same as imgburn autosetting it so it should be the default LB anyway. It's even writenin GOW3 nfo:
Quote:
In the case of growisofs as instructed below, in order to avoid
errors when burning XGD3 to regular DVD+R DL, you may choose to first
truncate the ISO to 8,547,991,552 bytes, and burn using a reduced
associated layerbreak of 2086912. This should give you exactly the
same end result as if you followed the instructions below for ImgBurn
on Windows.

So is there a tutorial just for getting the key and updating LT+ on a LiteOn drive - without ck3 or any tools? The JF tutorial seems all over the place and the internet only shows me tutorial that require ck3. :/

The JF tutorial is the best tutorial. Its not all over the place, you just have to follow the links, instead of scroling from page 1 and down.

depending on your dashboard, it may be impossible to get the key without using a probe. If you got MS's firmware upgrade some months ago, you need a probe. Again read JF tutorial for help, or you can go to JF's channel on EFnet, people are mostly helpfull

Well i'm sure you will be fine then and if you have the key everything will be fine just don't fry the drive by turning the power cable upside-down when cutting of the power.

I'm on LT+ 1.1 and the last dash update I did was the on that came with Bulletstorm.

I did follow the links but I don't see an option on getting the key and updating fw. The closest options I found assumes that I have the key or I'm starting from scratch, and here it assumes I have the ck3.
