Xtreme firmware for TS-H943 Xbox 360 released!!!

Another lame question

If one makes a backup with the samsung drive, and patches it with the ss and burn with clonecd, would this work on a lg firmware hack aswell?

As an LG hack doesn't exist yet, we can only know it when it gets released. But i would assume that it is the same technique used for the hack so it may work.

Please avoid postings such as this... it is not Technical at all and provides no additional information to the current thread.

as long as SS is in same physical location, or the patched firmware can search for whichever location needed to boot the backup.

Well here is another idea that maybe has happened already but not sure...  I might hafta start a new thread as well about it, but...

Is there any info out for making a mod chip for this?  Basically I dont want to permanantly change the firmware, Id like to only use it for offline purposes.  I can insert my original discs for online granted I dont play it often.  But on the other hand I dont want to get banned for playing a backup in future online upgrades.

So where are we with soldering a new chip to the drive?  Any info out yet?

Thanks

Search the forum.. For the cost you would pay for a modchip you might as well order in a samsung drive, rip the key from your current drive, insert it in your firmware and flash the new drive.. Hell you could order in 2 and keep one in your system all the time to rip your games.

Silicon Image 3114R RAID controller on it

I think there is more than one place, even on this particular thread, that says si3112/3114 doesn't work.

I looked into this, the samsung drive does not allow you to flash with the silicon 3112/3114 chipset no matter what. The flash program was not designed to work with it. The LG/Hitachi drive can work on the 3112/3114 chipset on the other hand - but requires you to use the linux CD to force the drive into ModeB.

Anyone doing this hack might want to be carefull with this months xbox live upgrade :p

[fasttrack]

Odds are it's too late to start re-engineering this months dashboard update now, there's a lot of new stuff already going in from what they've announced so far and I doubt they'll have time in two weeks to re-engineer the security code as well as fully test everything in that short a timescale, in the olden days maybe Microsoft would have done that but if they roll out a $#!tty dashboard update that causes chaos now then they'll get lots of bad press and any advantages they currently have over Sony would be hindered.

The best thing for them to do would be to make sure this large update is bulletproof, and then roll out a response to todays hack at a later date.

On the flipside I guess if what TheSpecialist said was right about everything that was needed for the hack to be recreated was on these forums, and odds are MS have already recreated it inhouse, then maybe they will address it now.

Or then again, they have plenty of stock everywhere now they got through the initial shortages, maybe the marketing department would welcome the fact that the 360 sales would surge due to the release of a hack, console sales usually do when they're hacked, and leave it be for a while.

This way MS would get to the magical 10 million units shipped first and that gives them the upper hand against Sony - everyone keeps saying whoever reaches 10 millions units first wins the war that time, and judging by the reaction of E3, Sony are really looking vulnerable right now, this would be right what MS need.......

It's not like MS need the money badly, they're flush with cash, this could be the holy grail that they've been looking for in this generation of console wars....

[Feflicker]

MS$ was basically told by the internet community 6 months ago exactly how we were going to try and hack this drive. If they didn't prepare, especially after the xbox1 hack was released, they deserve to suffer some consequences... I honestly believe there will be updates in this May dash upgrade... The timing seems about right to me... All speculation though, we'll see...

just played a little with XTRM0800.bin fw

the 4 CDB commands seems really to collects data from disk necessary for challenge type 1, 3, 5 and 7
my few italian games SS are different from the PAL version provided by the author, data collected from the 4 CDB commands too.
for CDB 5 and 7, for the same game i get sometime 1bit difference in some bytes, this should be because challenge type 5 and 7 request time measurement in a reading action, anyway the same game with different drives should give pretty the same value (can someone PM me italian PGR3 or COD2 SS address range 0x200-0x244? just to take a look at differences with mine).

just for curiosus, this fw lets access sectors in the leadin zone, you can read control data sectors.
with drive unlocked, phisical format information and disk manufacturing information starts at LBA -133408
no access to leadout

I just bought me a Toshiba drive can't wait to backup all my games I had one of the first 360's that put the nice halo rings around my games these hacks are like a god send.

[scener]

More problems here. We are extracting SS of COD2 PAL SPAIN and it's different of SS of COD2 released. It's normal? Maybe different countries have different COD2 versions and different SS.

Another lame question. If we flash the drive with the commodore firm hack with OUR key, the firmware doesn`t load original games, why? the key is in the same offset, 401A.

[Shenlong]

I've read through two threads now and havent found any confirmed working SATA Contoller Chipsets. So far Ive been able to gather that the chipset I have 9Silicon Image 3114) will not work. My local computer store has a few PCI controllers with the Marvel 88i8030-TBC controller chip. Including one SATA-IDE adapter with that chip. Now for the real question. To my understanding, it has to be able to support wiriting to the firmware (duh).

Can those with sucessful attempts post what SATA chip they are using? I would be happy to compile a list of supported chipsets/pci cards/bridges-adapters for the community, But I need some help first.

So please post what you are running if you have had a sucessful attempt.

Thank you for your time.

Don't know, maybe every country have its own security placeholders data, for sure commodore4eva is not spanish

you can't compare with robinsod fw SS, because this area is added by the 4 CDB commands that presumibly collect data for challenge responses using SP, it's not present in the FD021E sector

Because you have a old version of clonecd, update. Next time use the search function, this has been awnsered many times...
