Same here for me, and I've done it to three separate consoles (all Benq) and it's golden.

just flashed 2 sammy's earlier, works great. no more activation.iso needed
bad part is when i just got done flashing the first one from 1.51 to 1.6 so i could use the activation disc, put it together and then found out 1.61 was out hehe

*Update* Team HyperX now officially released the new firmwares and the readme/nfo confirms it comes with 'Strict' Wave 4 compliance:
| Quote: |
-Strict Wave 4 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot!
Strict Wave 4 compliance means wave 4 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 4
Note for unofficial releases:
It is highly recommended that you do not flash unverified or unofficial releases. We often do not implement specific security features in beta firmwares that are neccessary precaution's to help keep everyone as safe as possible on Xbox Live.

Can someone explain all the firmware drama to me please. I hear that Hitachis are always patched late, but supposedly 1.51 is good for all games. If 1.51 is such a solid firmware, then why does 1.6 and now 1.61 exist?
I literally saw someone on another forum say that Hitachis with 1.51 will probably never need to update since 1.51 works great with all waves. This is why I'm asking, it makes no sense to me. Is a Hitachi with 1.51 superior to all other drives?

It just means do you have Hitachi 1.51 = no need to do anything
Do you have ANY other setup = you need to do something.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

Yeah that's what confuses me though. I also see posts about people wanting to swap out their Hitachis. If they're good drives that only need 1.51, then why do people want to swap them? What is the benefit of getting another drive and putting 1.61 on it instead of keeping a Hitachi with 1.51?

Confuses me as well.
I have a spare Hitachi drive under my bed and was toying with replacing my current liteon with it. Can't work out the advantages and disadvantages.
From what I'm reading, there are no disadvantages (if you're just playing games rather than using the drive to rip from) other than the strict booting which is personal preference as to whether a pro or con.
I figure by the time I get near my xbox again (December) there will be a 1.6.1 for liteon therefore not sure its worth pulling it out.

Well, given that the 1.51 Hitachi has less checks, going to 1.61 will implement more security AND more restrictions. Wave 5 will probably not boot on 1.61 (but you can use the activate.iso) but probably work fine on the 1.51. Given that I don't do live and I never get crappy releases (ie first thing in sight), I opted for the benq non-stealth firmware myself. I also have a second 360 with a Liteon Drive, (kind of cautious to reflash that one, but I will do it if I have to).
So the choice is up to you. Keep the 1.51 and be extra careful with what you run or use the 1.61 and have the firmware always check the game for you... (both methods are not 100% reliable though, things can still go wrong...)

if there are none they why they change the drive every few months THINK next time
hitachi where loud as hell and had a lose magnetic strip
samys created the silver doom ring
Benq had all pros but one fucking con slow reading speed ,playing GTA4 on this drive was a joke before the install HDD option
Liteon 83850c is the best drive
New Philips-LiteOn DG16D2S-09C is the best off all but not hackable yet

I have a samsung and a hitachi which is being repaired right now. But I did flash my samsung yesterday, no problems at all, works great. My hitachi is still on 1.51, will it really be able to load wave 4 as opposed to the other brand 1.51 fw? Just so I know whether I'll need to flash or not.

Waiting for the same firmware. But using 1.61 in combination with a proper scene release, can you be certain not to get banned from LIVE?

i don't think you can ever be certain not to get banned.
if M$ really bans ppl because they played a game because its not released yet.
and they can see this, because gamescore is always online updated.
So would be logical to assume you can get banned even with a stealth release and the proper fw

Me too. I'm in the same boat as you. I have 2 spare hitachi's and I could easily put one in my new 360 with 1.51 on but I'd rather wait for the update for my lite-on. It'l probably be out soon enough.
