Lets just say its a long story...

I was thinking of using a wrong key so it wouldnt play any disks while then reflashing it with the origonal firmware.

Can anyone correct me if im wrong?

Alright to make a VERY complex situation short I want to flash a drive so it "Won't" read Discs correctly (thus showing like a DvD error) and still be able to revert the drive back to stock. I'm more than likely going to use Jungleflasher, i'm not 100% sure on the drive yet. Im just wonder...

If you plan on using Jungleflasher:
Try installing Windows 32bit, I was fumbling around with 64bit versions and I eventually gave up and just set my computer to dual boot Windows 7 64bit and Windows 32bit for flashing.
Windows 32bit hasnt had a problem yet, it runs flawlessly

Thats QUITE cheap. I payed $110.00 which is like £70.00 and I just got the probe and ck3. If you want to do a lite-on 7 series you will need a ck3 and probe. You are paying for both those items, and you get the unlock kit, and the molex connector free. Wouldnt it be cheaper if I simply bought just ...

Is there anything cheaper than that? I don't need everything included in the kit. I can already flash every drive other than Liteon's. Do you have a link for the bare mimimum things I need?

Do you think you can link me to the products so I dont make a mistake.
I want to be able to flash both a 83 and 74.

For the 7 series lite-on you need a connectivity kit and a probe. For the 8 series, you dont need either, but a connectivity kit will help quite a bit. If your doing peoples drives its alot better to invest in a connectivity kit, as you dont need to pull out your power brick, the 360, and ground it...

Well i've been flashing all my friends drives and have finally (after 7 drives) ran into a Liteon... I'm just wondering what type of tools im going to need for flashing a Liteon (both tools for each model) I typically hook the drive up to my PC by onboard sata and have had no problem so far. Also I ...

yea, all hitachi drives need to be in mode b before you can work on them, so you can use the slax disc for the 46. however the unlock disc is only for 79's so that's not needed. If I restock the drive and then flash it, whats the point of keeping the origonal firmware? What use is it? Would it help...

i'm not sure about a restore to stock option, i'm looking at a restore firmware option. that's what i select. if you hover the mouse over the selections it tells you what it'll do. . . Thanks for your help , much appreciated, but just one last question. I flashed a 79 hitachi drive using the Slax a...

use the hitachi tab. you have to do all the beginning steps :: mode b, unlock it if necessary and then return it to stock. after that then you can flash with ixtreme firmware. . . it's fairly simply just as long as you don't run into any issues. So before clicking Restore to Stock, do I select Rest...

I need to reflash a friends Hitachi drive, I have the origonal firmware but what do I do with it.
Do I click the Restore Firmware under Hitachi GDR3120? or is it under another tab? (using Jungle flasher .1.55 beta.)
I can't seem to find how to do this,
Thanks for the help

Ok just an update for anyone who may be reading this. I read somewhere that the .dvd's that come extracted from XBC are not very reliable so I deleted them and created new ones using abgx360. Then I set the layer break in Image Burn to the specified number and then I burned my games. They work perfe...

I heard things about Layer Breaking ect. Do I need to be aware of these?

Also im burning my backup on Image Burner as I write this, i'll post results..

I finally got my Verbatium discs and used XBC to burn the image of my game, Star Wars Force Unleashed. I set the burn speed to 2x and burned the file to the disc (.dvd) and it took about 30 mins. When it finished I put the disc in my 360 which was flashed with IX1.6 and it comes up witht he error of...
