Can someone help me out. I need to know how to put ixtreme 1.51 on to a Hitachi 47DJ using firmware toolbox, I was not able to do it and I had to go with 1.4 but it doesnt allow me to play all the games on that system. Well the newer games I mean. If someone has any tutorials or anything I would greatly appreciate it.

this is what you do after you restore the firmware to stock

FIRST TIME INSTALL (v40-v78)
Put the drive into ModeB
There are 2 modes of reading the FW, Classic and RAW, RAW is far better
as no previous stealth method would fool it, but currently hangs if you
have the drive attached thru USB-SATA adapter, use only with native SATA.
Classic only works for Hitachi Versions Previous to 78 and if the drive
is already hacked then the reading could be fooled by the FW Stealth
methods. The best recomendation is USE RAW as first option.
- If RAW Method doesn't work try classic.
- Press the button "EJECT" on the window, the tray on the drive should open
- Insert a DVD Movie or a 360 game in the drive.
- Press the button "LOAD" on the window, the tray should close, wait a few
seconds, if a window appears asking to open the media inserted, close it.
- Press the button "RAW Dump Firmware As ..." and. (save as original.bin)
- If everthing goes fine the reading will start and after a few seconds
a windows asking if u want to check the checksum will appear, Choose YES
- If the checksum check DOES NOT PASS then stop your installation, that
could be sign of a poor wire connection or an incompatible sata chipset.
Try on another PC.
- If the checksum says PASS then will ask you if you want to open, Choose YES.
- Now the Main Window will show firmware info.
- Highlight the full key then right click and copy (its also worth saving it into a word file or writing it down)
- Now load in the ixtreme 1.51 firmware which corresponds to your drive
- Paste the key into the where you first copied it from then click on the Save Key tab
- Then go to "Tools->Direct Drive Flash->Differential Flash Patch"
- select the drive then "Read Drive and Detect Differences", a list should be populated
- Press the "Start Flashing" button and after a few seconds the thing is done
you can shutdown everthing and start testing the drive on the console.

It will not let me use 1.5 on my computer no matter what damn program I use. It freezes my computer up. I am using a via card. I am very frustrated and I can not play any of the new games on my system. I think that hitachi's are horrid, and will not accept 1.5 on some of them. Mine is a 47dj
update I can dump the firmware in jungle flasher and firmtoolbox but when flashing will not let me do it.
