Great to see that this is working, my wrong speculation were based on thespecialist first post on this as i don't know nothing about dvd firmware hacking.
What a reverse situation, we were all waiting for a hitachi-lg hack and now the most advanced hack coming public is for samsung ...
Keep up the good work !

SS is still at the same PSN FD021E as xbox1, this fw can dump also SS of xbox360 disks
Is this the version with the CPR_MAI as 0000? or is it like the SS dumped with robinsods firmware? I don't have an orginal 360 game laying around or else i would test |

Hello everyone, n00b here. (Well, I've modded and softmodded my own boxes several times over the years so not a total n00b). My question is simple-- is there a technical reason why it would be impossible to create dvd-rom firmware flashing and SS extraction tools that run on the Xbox itself? It seems to me this would be the holy grail in some ways as it would be possible to firmware mod (and unmod) an unmodded box without cracking the case by adding it to one of the various softmod packages. Can someone take a moment to enlighten me/us ?

after 6 DL blanks and 2 days, it's finally working here too.. all cause of the SS being off by a single byte.
just for curiosity, can you try to hexedit the fw and change the value F9FA00 to match your mistaked SS PSN in nonworking disk you have? |

Questions like that have been discussed too many times on these pages. BTW, such a solution would require the execution of executable code on the x360's (the dumping/patching flashing program itself). BUT only executable code signed by M$ can be, in fact, actually be executed by xbox360's. M$ signs its own code and third party licensed software using a private key which is unknown to anybody else. Is that clear enough? |

I set the PSN from F9FA00 to F9F9FF and it wouldn't read either the working or the non-working disk. unless there's more calculation required? |

I might be SO wrong but... could it be a FW checksum problem? |

can i patch F9FA00 to be a PSN in the first layer between the Video part and game part of the disc. there is alot of blank space there. Is this the same for all xbox 1 discs? Germania: would you mind trying the robinsod firmware? you can software flash it to the drive and read it with software once the SS is writen to the flash. I dumped my halo 2 SS with both and they differ 5DF-7FF. If this table is somehow decrypted and redone with a 0000 CPR_MAI like TheSpecialist suggested. Would the 360 table be uneffected by this? is the same algorithm used? I am just curious if the it is dumping it correctly or just a currupted version of it. Has anyone tried rebuilding a XDVDFS iso and inserting it where their old game partition was in their raw dump? Questions like that have been discussed too many times on these pages. BTW, such a solution would require the execution of executable code on the x360's (the dumping/patching flashing program itself).

i think he is refering to the orginal xbox |

then the drive would likely not work at all, but it does.. it just doesn't recognize the backup.

the point he was saying is that you could use an exploit to run the software flasher on the xbox. This would enable a savegame with the right tools to be able to mod a box with a samsung drive with the dvd firmware upgrade without openin the box at all. I think some people might find that mod interesting. who says they couldn't play on live? has anyone tested?

Hehe, thanks nokaktsawa. Your answer is clear. I guess my question wasn't? I meant to ask the question as BlueCop interpreted it.
It is certainly quite possible to run homebrew code on an unmodded _Xbox 1_ via any number of exploits. So I'll ask again, is there a technical reason why the firmware flashing and SS tools can't be written into an Xbox 1 .xbe and be added to one of the softmod packages that exist out there? This would be a valuable tool for many folks I think, as some of us have unmodded boxes with collectible value (special editions, for example) in addition to our modded boxes that we do not wish to crack the case on. This would be better than both a hard or softmod because it should allow for play of (unmodified) backups on Live, a benefit I see as pretty tremendous since I am already on my 2nd copy of Halo2 due to scratches.

Well, if that was you original idea, for being a n00b as you defined yourself then you're quite a genius n00b  . Great idea. I think this could be possible, in fact. Too bad a solution like that have not been researched & developed some years ago... |

i haven't used the xbox linux distrobutions much but could you run mtkflash under linux or dos emulation and have it flash the samsung drive in the xbox? perhaps erac3rx idea is implementable without having to write software for it.

I misunderstood him 'cause I thought he wanted to play on live with a modified DVD FW on a MODCHIPPED/SOFTMODDED BIOS xbox1. I know that the DVD FW hack itself alone is fully compatible with live (for the moment, at least...  ) |

Hmmm, providing that you can tell that your xbox1 dvd drive is a samsung without opening you console. Is that possible? |

First let me say that you guys are cool. Sorry if I sounded like kind of a jerk in that second post of mine nokaktsawa, you and BlueCop and everyone are good guys. I think maybe I mislabeled myself as a n00b there. I am a hard and softmod Xbox guy from way back (I lost count of how many boxes I've modded for friends for XBMC and such), but a total n00b to this firmware stuff. As soon as I was reading about this I was like 'oh man a package like ltools for this would be sweet!'.
I wonder if we can get some of the softmod/exploit gurus to chime in here? It does seem like that flashing with mtkflash on xbox linux like we do the tsop with raincoat should be possible. It also seems like this would be a nice way for all of us to try out all the new firmwares as they get developed for other drives and such, just a simple package like ltools or whatever that gets updated as new ones come online, and those of us following the thread can try them on our boxes easily. Being able to create the hexed isos from our originals right there on the Xbox would be icing! This is really quite exciting, I'm glad the idea isn't stupid after all.
