iXtreme v1.61 FW for Samsung and BenQ Drives

is this official release from c4eva and his crew?

A new version (v1.61) of the iXtreme DVD Firmware for both Samsung and BenQ DVD drives has been released. A Lite-on version is still in development and will be released later (NO ETA).

These were released without any type of readme or NFO, but early user reports claim they work fine like v1.6 with added support for 'Wave 4' discs.

case closed

yeah my mistake, i did a search for 1.6 and it came up blank, so i assumed there was nothing on the ixtreme 1.6.
but didn't read the message, datebase error and not no entry or something like that.

This will support the new vid, found on new games.

Can't find anything on the forum here.

greetz,

eel.

Microsoft Confirms New Xbox 360 Console Banning
>> From majornelson.com:

New Xbox LIVE Ban Wave?
>> Seems like reports on our forums are indicating Microsoft has a new (console) ban wave on Xbox LIVE ...
Right now we don't have a lot of details/information, but if you have a modified DVD firmware we suggest you stay off LIVE for now.

Report your LIVE status (include as many details as possible) on: forums.xbox-scene.com

hi,

Yes you need to cut the power when the tray is closing like you said "Instead you should feed out, feed in and then cut power as it's initiated it's closing procedure, so it thinks it's closed"
And cut the power means remove the white connector with black wires on the dvd-drive (that took me 3 hours to figure out......noob i know)
But then it works like a charm.
You can build the PIC Rs-232 controller just 2 transistors, caps, resistors and a diode works for me.

greetings,

hi all,

unable to get it work, it keep give me 00000000000 for the key. If i follow the tutorial it says to cut the power when closing the tray.But after the tray is half open and i power on my xbox again it still closes.
it only seems to work when i'm turning on my xbox and then use a paperclip to open the tray, but i think it's given te wrong open/closed status.
please help and tell me how to do it with using the powersupply of the xbox

greetings,

eel.

Nevermind i'm a noob but i got my key

you have to read carefully,close the tray and cut the power, tray halfway, turn on xbox without sata and POWERCABLE(dvddrive) and then plug in powercable of dvd . another three hours of my live wasted, aahhhhh nothing compared to the biljoen hours i played halo, also wasted.

hi all,

got it working, first i read the firmware with dosflash 16 1.4 automode (via6421a), then i erased it and tried to flash it.but hangs on erasing.........
after trying for a few times, i downloaded dosflash 16 1.3 and flashed, erasing, and flashing all 4 banks works like a charm.oh yeah with the via6421a you got to use the port on the side.next to the ide, not the one in the back and not the one facing the front of your pc......this is with benq......dosflash 32 samsung hitachi works with both inside in windows.

happy flasher,


eel.

hi,

i finally got a dump from my benq with my new via card (6421A).
then i read somewhere, that you should first erase the flashprom, so i did.
But when i started dosflash again and choosed to write the flash, it starts with erasing (again, so there is no need for to do it yourself  ).but it stucks on this step and stays on erasing so what do i need to do now.please help.

greetings eel.

yep, it comes with the ixtreme firmwares.It allows you to flash the drive without any tricks.
but Arakon this won't work on a virgin drive,right?!

i just used cardboard and indead the dvd drive was alot cooler then without the shroud modification.you need to divide the two fan's in the back, there is so much sucked trough the cpuheatsink.
Had two rrod 360's that i couldn't fix, they kept coming back.With the shroud modifications and the gpu fan on 12v they work great, now problems.the air that flows out of the back is much hotter.so there is more cooling going on.
My only problem with this mod is when you turn it off, with a shroud on the heatsink it is unable to dissipate it's heat.so after a long session of gamen you'll have to set it in his dashboard for a minute or 2 (still 38 degrees).there is a mod on rbjtech site to modify(9v battery  ) your fan's to let them run a little bit longer after you turn off your xbox 360.maybe somebody can figure out a way with a usb device.you'll notice when you leave your usb controller loader in the 360 won't shut off completely.it keep on charging your controller and still let the fan's run.When you pull out the usb loader it will shut down.somebody an idea??usb stick with a 555ne chip.

sorry to say  , but it would be best for you to get somebody to help you. who has some experience with flashing xbox 360's.
 

unknown, they still can store data in your flash on the mobo. So the next time you connect to live they can send the data over and you'll be bannend.

The following assumes you have the correct 1BL key and CPU key set in the flashtool.
1. Dump the NAND from the US 360 (528-bytes-per-page)
2. Open in the latest flashtool (v0. and click [extract]
3. Edit extracted KV.bin and change 16-bits at offset 0xB8 from 0x00FF to 0x02FE
4. Open in flashtool and click [patch], check the "patch keyvault" box and select the KV.bin modified in step 3
5. Click [OK] and choose output file
6. Flash output image back to the NAND of the US 360
7. Try an EU game or two.

so you first need your 1BL key and CPU key. so what's your kernel?
