hi juat found this on a news group .hoprfuly on xbin by now
IXtreme fw for Liteon 83850c drives!

Happy third anniversary for the xbox360 fw and despite all attempts we are still here, flashing fw, after several ban waves and several drives including the mighty LITEON we have triumphed! It is a testiment to all involved on how far we have come and the massive teamwork it has required. Thanks go to all involved and here's to the next three years!

At the moment the only way to get your key data is through the foundmy.com method. At this time we have no alternative solution. Props to foundmy for cracking the key encryption and providing a solution. Team HyperX will keep working to find a alternative solution!
--------

-Added Support for LiteOn 83850c Drives.

-Strict Wave 3 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot!

-Strict drive speed compliance - 12x only for game discs!

-Support for SS V2!

-Integrated 0800 for game dumping including SS v2!

-Full support for all known game exceptions! eg ddr etc!

-One shot boot mode! - allows a one off boot of gamedisc without -stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time!

-Support for easy drive key/version info cmd, same as liteon!

-Strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)!


More Info
---------


Strict Wave 3 compliance means wave 3 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 3

Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot

SS v2 suports multiple timing samples for challenges type 5 and 7 , stroing them in the SS. This is a pre-requiste for SS v3 which has support for the so called AP2.5 check. Since this has never been used or may never be used by MS we will adopt a wait and see approach and continue to monitor for its usage.

With drive in Windows mode (Tray half open on powerup) 0800 mode is activated allowing easy dumping of game disc including SS v2. In this mode the drive is also able to output drive key, fw version and drive type by using a simple custom inquiry command.

Game exceptions are integrated in the fw for games that do not comply with the strict wave checks but are legitimate. These are Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Stoked, Ping 17 disk, afro samurai

One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution.

Yes it is in xbins now ive checked

I think we should let some testers to try out this firmware and try to find out how to get the key from the drive without having to buy the new xtractor camo probe on http://www.foundmy.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Ive read that the new xtractor is the only way to retrieve the key, any other probe/spear of some sort can damage the drive, im not %100 sure on that though.

I don't see how the type of probe could be the problem. I have read that, but still fail to see why the probe would be a problem.

is this for all liteon drives

charging that kind of coin is out of control......I will wait. These guys would be nowhere without all the work previously done for FREE....WTF? That's all I've got to say.

P.S. WTF=what the freak....

Where abouts on xbins i cant see it,

Your current CK3 probe does no damage to the drive what so ever,

I have just tried flashing one of these drives by mistake, obviously got no green light

put it back together and it still works fine, lets hope some genius works out how to get that key.

Thats only what i read mate, maybe we should leave this to the people who want to experiment with the drive and see how to retrieve the key properly without damaging the drive because some people had said they get the Play DVD error after putting the probe on the board.

I concur lets leave it to the proffesionals.

Just reading a thread on after dawn that said a team of testers have successfully flashed 12 of the new lite on drives and all the consoles are running fine.

They want 50 volunteers to try there way of dumping the drive using there method, if they get good reports back they will release the dumping method for free on xbox 360 hacking forums.

Everyone keep there eyes peeled on every hacking forums on the 19th of this month as that is when they plan to release the method.
