that kind of chip would be great

Hey bud would this process work when replacing the Hitachi 0047DJ with an MS25? If not what would I need to do. I put the MS25 in the xbox and ran the samtool, but when I read the firmware it said that the key was invalid. I put everything back together and booted into windows. With firmware toolbox I looked at the key and it was FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Should I replace this with the original key and then try to flash it or is there something else I need to do.

sadalius is the best to help you with spoofing a drive.

i do know that the orig key that was in your 360 dvd drive must be put in the firmware for your new drive.

I wouldn't flash anything with a key full of F's, I'm sure that would be a bad dump/flash.

Sadalius is your man for spoofing...

I was able to spoof it like I though. I tried to flash the original Hitachi 0047DJ drive because it was able to read all games. The flashing of the Hitachi drive went well, but the same thing happens. It didn't read all of the games. It read one game our of all my original and backup ones. The guy also brought me a second drive which was an MS-25. I already had the firmware backup from the Hitachi drive.

I prepared my drive with Iprep 101 v006 for the Samsung drive. Booted into dos and ran the sam tool to backup the Firmware. It said the reading was stopped. I turned the computer and xbox off and booted into windows. I opened the new samsung firmware with 360 firmware toolbox 4.5. The key read FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF and This is not right. I was on here last night and Cofree told me that he was not sure, but he would think that I would need to spoof the hacked firmware. After a conversation with him I realized I remembered how to do it.

I opened the orig.bin that the Hitachi had created and copied the orig key. I the closed out of the tool box and opened the new firmware with the FFFFF key. I pasted the old key and hit replace key and then went to tool and spoof drive. It will ask you to select what drive you want to spoof it as and I chose Hitachi 0047DJ. It will tell you that the drive has been spoofed.

Now if you check the firmware from the Samsung drive and it has the old key on it. Also what I noticed is that it changed the orig.bin and hacked.bin key to the old hitachi key.

Now boot into Dos and do the flashing for the Samsung drive. Make sure you choose the Xtreme drive and do the 10 sec. trick. Your drive should flash bank 0-3.

Now you can turn averything off and power cycle your 360 twice because if you turn your 360 with your tray open it will go into mode b. After power cycling the xbox twice. Hook it up to a TV and test.


This is the Tutorial for flashing and spoofing a Samsung MS-25 drive as a Hitachi 0047DJ.

glad you got it man

but to tell you the truth im still some what lost with the spoffing thing

Well, I'm not sure what to say here. I would be very leary on this if the ms25 spat out a key with all F's. I would have re-dumped it till I got a good dump. Reason being, what other parts of the code to the firmware could have gotten screwed in the process. So simply replacing the key with the hitachi's key and spoofing it over to the hitachi doesn't make it a safe firmware. What you can do though, is use the hacked firmware to create a clean spoofed firmware that reports as a hitachi. But doing it this way, you would never be able to recover the samsung to it's stock state.

Like I said, I would have dumped it till it decided to give me a good dump so I could have a good copy of both firmwares incase I ever needed it. But thats just me.

Yeah bro I tried to get the key like 5 times and it just kept giving me that same key. The guys was not to worried about it because he is going to get a new one soon anyways and give this one to his son and once it breaks replace it with a Wii. If you want to use my Tutotial and add the fact that you would try to get a good key, you are more than welcome too. I will make a Tut for everything that I run into that has not been documented. It will spare you some emails from Noobs. LOL... Thanks again.
