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

[BlueCop]

[Read the rest of my post, if it can be locked down is has to be able to be unlocked

that all depends on how it is "locked down" and what flexibility we have to counter this response. like we can't modify signed files. we can modify the firmware. so the solution to any "lock down" would have to be implementable in that realm.

Having problems booting xbox 360 dvd drive with xtrm0800.bin flashed on it. My bios detects the 360 drive. My problem is when I try to boot up windows with my 360 dvd drive plugged in and turned on the windows loading screen freezes and I can't load windows. As soon as I unplug the 360 drive everything works again. I have tried plugging in the 360 drive when windows is loaded but also freezes/no response.
I have tried many combinations between my 4 sata ports. I have been able to do everything but try to create my own backups because I can't get windows to load with the drive plugged in.

I have a DFI Nforce 4 Ultra Chipset
I have a sata2 harddrive
All raid is disabled
Was able to do orignal dump and hacked firmaware flash sucessfully
Atleast I can play originals but unable to test backups becuase of this problem


ANy help? TIA

Hi again,

I edited the firmware at the exact same offset with my key and flashed the drive but now when i put a game in (original disk) it says this disk is designed for an xbox 360

any ideas??

[BlueCop]

you didn't write you key in the firmware correctly. if you don't have the correct key then it won't play games.

have you heard of the concept of failing and then trying again?

[mvickers03]

i think i did it right is there anychane i could send you my firmware and you patch it for me

i dumped my key with kdx1.1 copying the key
then loaded xtreme.bin and added my key and then saved the modified xtreme.bin containing my key
i also cant play origionals after i have flashed it with the modified key
is this not right
is not what is the right way to do it
cheers

For people that have not the XTRM0800 recognized under windows, you can use a sata-to-ide converter, all CDB commands pass successfully, at least for my converter with JMicron chip.
Anyway, sata-to-ide converter doesn't work on mtkflash.

I hear you mate, i did the same thing im sure we are putting the key in the wrong place i searched this website all day and cant find were exatly you insert the key in extreme.bin

can someone explain were you put the key in extreme.bin because i allready tried putting it in the same place as the original and it dosnt work

hi there, first of all i'd like to thank everyone that made this possible

and now i'm going to ask, maybe a dumb question

is it possible to buy a x360 with the hitachi-lg drive and install a toshiba-samsung with the hitachi key??  

if i did understand this right, the hacked firm just changes the place where the drive reads the protection, and that's why we have to write the SS file. right?

kdx is buggy!

I backed up my firmware and i flashed the drive with the xtreme firmware, and when i booted back to windows it doesnt' detect the drive still.  I put it back into the x360 and it boots the originals fine.  should i reflash it?

With me being a lapy owner, i take it i cant apply the hack yet, ok i have a sata usb but dont think it will work.. Any advice or other method i could use, please let me know.. Thanks

That's basically correct but there's more to it.

Hi Guys..

for those who are having problems with inserting their keys into the extreme.bin firmware:

1- U dont need any program or patcher to extract or to insert your key,except a hex editor and I use WinHex

2- Get ur original firmware with MTKFLASH, keep a side backup of it somewhere on ur PC, then open the orig.bin file
    with a hex editor ( WinHex ) and goto address 0004000 (hexadecimal) here u should select all data until u reach the address 0004200
    the key is somewhere between this limit, but to make sure just copy the whole block ( 0004000 to 0004200 )

3- Now open the file extreme.bin and also go to address 0004000, select everything until 0004200 and now at this point
   u must paste the data (the 0004000 to 0004200 block ) u copied from ur original firmware file exactly onto this block...got it

4- After u paste the block in the extreme.bin file, save it to a new file let's say : key_patched.bin and this is your patched firmware
    now that will be able to boot your copies.

5-  Now... there's another supplied firmware in the package called something like extrm0800.bin this one is needed to be flashed
     just in case u need to backup ur original discs. And when done with ur backups and u are ready to play, u have to flash ur patched
     firmware again.

Regards....
