I flashed my 250GB BEVS drive no problem, then moved on to my brothers drive a WD2500BEVT. It says it flashes correctly but it is not seen by the xbox and when I go back into HDDHACKR it shows a LBA issue.

It says the BEVT has a 48-BIT LBA of 488395055 and my dumped hddss.bin has a LBA of 488397168 if I restore the firmware and try again it continues to show the same thing.

How can I get the drive to show the correct LBA

[b1gg134]

Ok guys. I have some amazing news  I got the sucker to b working. Here is how.

This is for all of you guys that have the firmware flashed but keep getting the LBA does not match error

The tools that i used were hddhackr 0.91b and MHDD as discussed in a post in this forum.

Here is what i did... I used hddhackr to flash the fw and it does the whole conversion but because of the difference in LBA, it wont say the drive is compatible with 360 and even if u try after that the 360 wont recognise it.

So this is what u do. Flash it.. reboot, run MHDD and in there you select your drive.. It will appear as fujitsu, and then u have 2 handy options from the many that u can use. #1 is rhpa (shows u the hpa size... what is the factory and what is user accessible) and the 2nd 1 is nhpa which removes the hpa present on the drive that causes the lba size mismatch.

For those of u that dont know what hpa is wikipedia explains it way better than me so wiki "host protected area"

once u try to remove hpa odds r that it will fail... Dont worry. Unplug the power from the hard drive (THE POWER ONLY NOT THE SATA) wait 10 sec and plug it back in and try nhpa again and it should work. that will remove the hpa and have the whole lba accessible to the user.   once that is done just type exit and u will b back in dos.

To verify that this works, simply re run hddhackr 0.91b again and select the drive and it should tell u that u can run it.

once u get that message power off the pc remove the hard drive... (DONT POWER IT ON AGAIN WITH THE HARD DRIVE CONNECTED AFTER U POWER IT OFF)

Reason for this is because most modern motherboards inculiding my gigabyte p45 with ICH10 southbridge create that measly small 2mb hpa at the POST process which i thought was created by Western digital... so my appologies for previously stating that it was created by western digital.

Hope this helps many of u... It took me a freakin month to really figure out what is going on with the drive.

Thanks to every 1 involved in making these great tools u guys r the best.

Cheers. 

This fixed my problem, Thanks I guess I just needed to get a few hours sleep and reread things

I still use the v0.9 version   Works like a charm all the time   Recently converted a WD Scorpio Blue BEVT 250GB HDD using v0.9

Hi all.
First of nothing this is a great page i have learned much of this page.
Well this is my problem.

I have an old WD2500BEVS-00UST0 (250GB) and i want to upgrade my very very old xbox hdd 20gb to this one, i have now the HDDSS.BIN got from one 250GB xbox hard drive. My problem is on my scorpio drive.

When i want to flash it say the next thing.

Code:

Western Digital Vendor Intro failed on port 0x3050 (Yes this is my hdd ata port)
Make sure you have connected Western Digital Scorpio series Hard Drive.
If you choose to resend the command you should turn the drive off and on after you pressed yes.

The thing is that my hdd is correctly connected i know that is fully functional and i dont know what to do, i tried on diferent ata ports and still get the same, some one can help me?

Note: I tried with the v0.9 and v0.9b and it doesnt recognize the ata drive only my IDE

gotta be kidding me lol.
creating partitions manually sucks.. not to mention:

(v0.90)      Please do not use anymore!

Hey there, I just bought a WD1600BEVS and wanted to flash the HDDSS.BIN file from 120GB Xbox HDD.

I use the latest Version of HDDHackr (1.22). But I think, it doesn't detect my WD1600BEVS correctly. It says "No ATA Device found!".

In older versions of HDDHackr the tool detected first in Legacy Mode and (if nothing found) also in Enhanced Mode (or was is the other way around?). You know what I mean?

I tried putting my HDD into that mode with the help of my BIOS but I only can change the "Access Mode" between CHS, LBA, Large and Auto.

What you must know: I tried flashing the HDD with HDDHackr 0.91. It worked fine, the HDD is now already detected (in Bios) as "Fujitsu MHW2120BH". But if I plug it to my Xbox360 it isn't there at "Memory".

So, what do I have to do now?

[jelle2503]

what about flashing the hddss 

[Zodiak91]

You're funny! As I already said: It doesn't find my HDD! It says "No ATA device found!".

And I thought maybe it has something to do with the mode in which the HDD is. You know?
So what do I have to do, to make it work?

By the way: Happy New Year from Germany!!!

Hi! My friend made an error on his 120gb hitachi and now xbox 360 doesn't recognize it.
I tried with hddhackr to flash an hddss.bin of a 120gb FUJITSU but 360 doesn't want to see that disk.
If I can ask it here, I'd like to know if anyone can send me an UNDO.bin or HDDSS.bin file to restore the hard disk of my friend.
Or alternatively if there are methods to fix/repair that disk.

Now the disk is totally formatted (and seen by windows).

Thank you all!

Bought a WD2500BEVT.

Go through hddhackr. Its detects the drive fine. When i press F to flash and say use hddss.bin it says Sector checksum (06C2) and cancels the process. It says it is different to the one trying to be used.

Not seen this error anywhere else. Not even google!

Any ideas?

Got a P5B motherboard and using that.

[endorium]

my problem above was ith latest hddhackr version
I tried iwth version 1.00 and the error was   

Vector checksum 3845 is wrong

[endorium]

Please does anyone have any ideas for my above problem?
I see some people mentioning mhdd to help things.
Is this only used when you have already flashed the harddrive. Tried so many ways and cannot get the harddrive to flash.

[jelle2503]

endorium, why you post in this thread, which IS NOT a support thread for newbies.. you also posted your own thread in the wrong section... post in the newbie section next time for support
why are you around for 1 year and still don't get how this forum works?

[arjwanm]

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee what i do after than

[Arakon]

I suggest taking a soft rag and cleaning your screen, that looks like you rub against your monitor every night.
Once you did that, you read the damn manual.

[langyiq]

Ah, OK.

Thanks for the info.

I have a question. I am new to all this hacking and such, and i wanted to hack my WD1200BEVS that has been lying around for a while. The thing is, the disk is used, and has data on it. I guess i need to format that. Now my question is, does it have to be FAT, FAT32 or NTFS? Or dont put a partition on it at all?
Might be a stupid question... But i couldn't find this anywhere.

[Arakon]

The console uses fatx, so whatever you format it to now will not matter then anyways.
