Flashed Stock Hitachi 78 drive w/JF, now not reading games

[Bobbarooskie]

Hello,
I used Jungle Flasher to flash a stock Hitachi 78 drive. I followed the instructions from the video tutorial by sadalius and everything appeared to go well, however now the drive is not reading original games or backups. The drive is also not reading regular CDs or DVDs. The drive powers up and ejects with no problems, also the 360 is lighting up normally.

I wasn't sure if I should post the complete log file from Jungleflasher because I wasn't sure if it is safe to post the key information?

I've utilized this site for flashing other drives and really appreciate the helpful tutorials .

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance!

I hope the drive isn't bricked

Yeah just post the log up but remove the key details or change them to 0000's. Check that your leads are in tight too.

What he said: feel free to edit the key however you see fit. You could also PM on of the mods/admins with your key so we can tell you if it looks good to us or not.

Thanks for the quick replies! Here is the log. The text in bold I did not change to 0
If by chance you guys see that I left crucial information from the log can you please edit my post?
Thanks again!

That looks spot-on. If you're sure the drive key is valid you could try restoring the drive and then reflashing it again. I'd still check the connections first though.

[Bobbarooskie]

>< darn, Yeah I'm sure the key is okay because the drive was originally stock. I tried restoring the drive to stock and everything went back to stock but I still have the same problem of it not reading disc.
Thanks again for the help and quick reply!

[dalecheesy]

When you load the .bins you created into the source firmware on the FirmwareTool 32 tab are there any recurring numbers or letters?

[Bobbarooskie]

I should have taken a screenshot, but I recall the number started with a 7 and the rest were sporadic. I never had to manually load the .bins file.

Update - I have the drive put away at the moment, however I opened JF and selected the MK tab and loaded source firmware and pointed it to the .bin. From what I can tell it doesn't look like there is repeating numbers/letters

Thanks again

[technoe]

Here's an idea, load the stock firmware and the cfw in the Firmtool32 tab, now take a look at something for me.
In the two red circles the numbers should be indentical if not you're key is in the wrong spot of the firmware. JF usually does this correctly and automatically but it might be worth looking at.

[Bobbarooskie]

JF only saved a QFW bin and not a CFW bin in the folder that I used. I'll go ahead and give it another shot tonight and take a screenshot of Tool32 tab right when all of the info is filled in.

Thanks again guys for your time and help

[Bobbarooskie]

A local guy mentioned to me that the problem I'm having is a common problem with JF, he recommended that I should try using Firmware toolbox and a slax cd. Do you guys think that I should try using that method? If so I'll need to start googling some tutorials.

Thanks again

[technoe]

I HATE firmware toolbox!! But I think that's just me. And I've never had any issues flashing my hitachi with JF on Windows Xp. If you happen to be running vista then you'll probably never get the hitachi to flash with JF. At least I never could.

[Doubledee]

I'll second that Technote-Vista will NOT work with J/F

[technoe]

Vista works fine with JF just not on hitachi drives. I've flashed everything but hitachis with vista.
