DVDkey Benq/Liteon key extractor

[benny881]

hello guys...i know that actually the only solution is spoofing liteon with another flashable dvd drive...
I want to know what are the difficulty in hacking the firmware  of  the lite-on:

1) reading the firmware?

2) Modify it?

3) Write on the eeprom?

4)Another thing?

I've rehashed the information available in this thread and created a new page with, hopefully, most of the important bits required to dump the Lite-On drive and spoof iXtreme on a new drive.

Can you use the connectivity kit version 1 for this?

I got this info from Ree1981 on xboxscene.


It will, but only as a power supplier. You can't use the buttons on it, so you have to manually eject the drive half-way before plugging the v1 kit in... in other words, useless.

Tnx a lot bro.

Once again you guys have done it again well done I've done a few now with spoofed VAD6038's and all work perfectly.
I hope you dont mind but I've given you guys some credit on my site.
Again well done and keep up the good work

Why cant you use the eject button then power off then push in the drive half way

Can i use thi s or does anyone know where i can get a prebuilt one in the uk?

The connectivity kit V1 works just fine for me after adding a 2x2 switch. You'll have to cut 3 tracks under the power socket that link +5v and +12v. not hard to figure it out.

Hi.

I have problem with DVDKEY32.. Just look:



Drive id is always that same.. DVD Key too RS323 is ok if I can get the drive id but why I can't get DVD Key? I tried 32 PIO transfer but  still that same :/

why don't you try the DOS version? maybe it gives you better results

How do I make a 2x2 switch and which 3 tracks should I cut?

What do you think, will M$ banish me, if I bought BenQ drive after Xtreme flash, reflash it to iXtreme, and change my philips/lite-on to this drive?

[Arakon]

I would be careful. I am not sure how true this is, but this was said on IRC:

"c4e has let me know that there is a problem with spoofing liteon to samsung/hitachi. He stated that there is a identification tag at SS generation, and that special firmwares will need to be released for samsung/hitachi to account for this, if its going to be spoofed with the liteon"

If The benq doesn't have an issue then would it be the case that when Benq's weren't hacked and people were spoofing hitachis and samsungs as benqs that they would be detectable?

I don't think this holds water

As I told c4eva and maximus and Gary when the i-extreme firmwares were released as "stealth" (And I was later proven right).

There is no such thing as pure stealth for N00bs, as M$ have other ways to check if the system is modded on live.

This simple equation might help you understand:

Modded console = Possible Ban

This is not to say that you will get banned....it simply means that its a risk you take...but then again..if you get banned, you can always buy a new console and log back in with your old account on your old HDD.

Nice work...You clearly did you your research.

Hello to all.

I have a few questions for you experts.

1) If you make something wrong to the construction of the RS232 to TTL converter, when you start the procedure of dumping the key can you damage the drive?

2) As i read you can construct the RS232 to TTL converter by using the MAX232 chip. As i checked the datasheets of MAX3232 and MAX232, it seems that the do the same job with the difference that the MAX232 requires 5v in order to operate whereas MAX3232 can work either by 3.3 or 5.
My question is:

If i supply the MAX232 with 5V from the PSU of my PC and not with the 3.3 of the XBOX360 controller, is their any chance to damage the drive?

3) I built an RS232 to TTL converter based on ST3232 chip. I did not manage to dump the key although i followed the guide (WITH NO CONNECTIVITY KIT) step by step. The error i was accepting from DVDKEY was the following:

c:\DVDKEY>dvdkey 9000
Port 9000
Drive Present
Wait about 20 seconds

It didn't work, sorry reg1: 54
DVD key:
00000000000000000000000000000000
Seems NOT a good DVD Key!!! 00 00
KEY.BIN saved

I am sure that the COM communication is ok as i tested my RS232 adapter by looping the tx and rx cables to the hyper terminal. Also my port has the right setting (3F8/IRQ4).
I tried several times with a lot of different variants of the dumping procedure with no result i was taking the same error all the time.

After testing and testing i realised that i had missplaced the tx,rx cables to the RS232 adapter (to wrong RS232 pins). I corrected them and tried to dump again with the same outcome (same error as before).

The problem is that now when i turn on the 360 it starts up ok no errors on the screen but when i put either games or movies to the drive, it does not read them and then i get "Unreadable error".

Is it any chance that i destroyed my drive or just i had a laser de-calibration?

If it is the second case i will build a new converter based on the MAX3232 chip and not to the ST3232 as it seems to have differences.


Also, if you use the connectivity kit is it mandatory to join the two jumpers/solder pads for TxD and RxD on the drive?

If you use an RS232 to TTL converter MAX232 based, will the IC operate if you supply it with 3.3 volts and not with 5V?

Can somebody clarify the following as it is critical to the dumping process:

I have read to some tuts that the drive must be half opened in open state and other say that the drive must be opened in close state.

Can someone that managed to grab the key clarify the above?

Thank you all in advance, i will appreciate your help.
