Hi, I have bricked my Xbox 360 drive which is a Hitachi 46D  I have removed the chip as I have a Willem programmer with the correct adapter. I read the chip back and got very confused as I didn't know it was encrypted, d'oh. I had a backup of the key and once decrypted, I double checked the key was good. I then get a original firmware from 'Hitachi_StealtMaker1_2.rar', entrered the key in 'Maximus - 360 FIRMWARE TOOLBOX for Windows Ver 1.0' encryped the file and flashed it back to the chip. After carefully replacing the chip the drive still doesn't work. It causes the PC and Xbox360 to hang. Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong? Thanks in advance. C |

It's encrypted! So you will need decrypt it to get your serial #. You will need to do a cut and paste on a good copy of a 46D f/w with your key in the correct position. Re encrypt the new f/w code before flashing it to your the sst39sf020.

Hi Jumba,
Thats what I did, I got the original (bacuped up) firmware, used the toolbox to copy the key out, opend the 46.bin, copied the key in, applied and save encrypted.
I then flashed it back and verified.
Any other ideas, the soldering looks ok.
Thanks,
C

My experience is mainly with sammies. I have only played with 2 lgs and experienced no problems with my method. When I raised my how to, everyone jumped on me! I have seen many posts with people bricking their lgs with the two wire trick!
1. using the wrong 2 wires kills the trayout fn symptom the tray no longer works... permenently bricked
2. After setting the drive into mode b the trayout is free to float to 5v
As the flashing is done in consecutive stages the flashing proceedure needs to repeated until each block is done.
My way is slighly different the trayout is held low whilst the f/w is flashed. There is no need for pauses it needs to be done only once! When you flashed the rom to the original did work as in a virgin state? My view is u have only done a partial upgrade.

Hey all,
Will it work without encrypting/decrypting if i have the original .bin file (was.bin) and flash that to the chip with a Willem Programmer? And after that is done, resoldering the chip in my drive and then reflash it the normal way?

I have done it! Details: Lifted the chip, be careful for pins 1 to 16, they can lift easily. Ilifted pins 17 to 32 1st and then 1 to 16. Get yourself a programmer. Mine is a Willem 3.1 with a 14mm adapter. I then got a clean firmware which was called 46.bin. I then used the firmware toolbox to change the key to mine and save it encrypted. I then erased the chip and flashed back 46-e.bin. I then soldered it back down and it read an original fine I then patched it with Birdy  Note. I tried flashing the original.bin that Birdy flasher saved (I encypted it before flashing). For some reason this would not update with Birdy flasher or Gary OPA. Every time it bricked the drive and I had to remove the chip again. It's only after flashing with a clean firmware that it worked. I am now running a HL46 in my new 360 which had a HL59DJ (yes I've bricked 2) I will try and create a guide tonight with pics if anyone is interested. Regards, C |

Pictures of the whole process, would be so helpful. This is one awesome board. |

I re(soldered) the chip about five times today and had no luck. I saw a bit too late that i didn`t need the was.bin but the gdr59.bin. Now some printleads are very unstable. they came a bit loose from the board. Hopefully i can fix this or rewire them.
But a tutorial would indeed be useful. If you need any help, just pm me. I have the 59 drive also opened. BTW, i use a True USB Willem progger (GQ-2X). Maybe this is useful for other screenshots.

I have documented the proceedure and would upload if I could but the file is too big.
If anyone can host this I can upload it.
Also, I have just read that there is a new model 59DJ (June 2006) which is diffenrent than the normal 59.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOURS YET!!
This explained why I bricked mine.
Regards,
C

Cyclops:
I have a 0059DJ drive( is this different then the HL59DJ drive?) , but it`s from April 2006, not June. You know if these have the same issues?
I now have used your complete method with taking the clean fw (gdr59.bin from GaryOPA OPA - Xtreme v2.1 firmware - Hitachi 7in1) which didn`t have a key, then took the key from the was.bin and saved it encrypted to gdr59-e.bin and flashed it to the chip which verified OK. Soldered it back but the tray still doesn`t open and i get a Error 64.
If u send me your tutorial i`ll put it on my webserver. I checked space and i have enough space left. I also would like to see what you talked about with the 59DJ issue.

It's really really sth which makes me feel bad. After all these times (realease of 360) there is NO TRUSTED way to UNBRICK a so called Hitachi. I admire the gr8 work of hackers on that, but it's gettin' too late i think. I have 2 bricked Hitachi LGs 'n u know that without a DVD-ROM, 360 is useless. So PLEASE make haste to release a 100% workin' tutorial.
God bless 'ya all.

DVB-S: You do realise that the method we are discussing here does involve external hardware and soldering in the 360. This is not a solution for everyone. It invloves soldering 16 seperate contacts on about 9mm space on each side of the chip.
But i know there are also people working on a kind of bootdisk like method. But it`s not sure what the timetable is for that.

it's called hacking for a reason. if you are unwilling to take a risk, DON'T DO IT. it's simple as that. hacking involves cost and destroyed devices. that's simply the way it is and will never change.

I do NOT give support by email, PM, ICQ or whatever. Anyone annoying me that way will have his balls removed. With a rusty butterknife. Slowly. And I'll enjoy doing it.

I have flashed more than 14 XBOX 360 DVD-ROM firmwares (6 Samsungs+8 Hitachi) so far ... All were OK, but what the HELL I can do when a program DOES have bugs which have caused 2 DVD-ROMs stop working. It's not MY fault. If I were faulty I would RUIN all 14 Drives. The guilt is with those BUGs which sometimes LOVE to bend me outta shape.
That's what I'm sayin'.
I have even desoldered and soldered back that so called 16x2 TSOP Flash IC, But it DOES not work. Although the KEY Drive is OK, although the file is Encryped before externally flashing the IC. So much expenses I HAVE TO PAY but no success. What I say is that why we bother distributing a solution which is NOT 100% safe? When we know some might TRAP into a NIGHTMARE because of our FAULTY flashers, I think it's the BUGGEST SIN to provide them with that while WE KNOW, most of the users are NOT Xperienced hackers.
