Please note how this is for replacing a HITACHI with a SAMSUNG
This is guide was written for people who;
Dont like floppy disks
Dont want to hex edit MTKFLASH
Just bought a new Pen Drive and think they may aswell use it
Etc Etc
The guide will take you through the following steps
1) Making Sure You Have The Right Drives
2) Getting The Hitcachi Into Mode B
3) Connecting Xbox 360 To The PC
4) Getting Drive Keys From Hitachi
5) Inserting The Key Into Xtreme.bin
6) Flashing The Samsung Drive
I will not go through opening the xbox as there are many guides on the internet available
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Drive Types
Please make sure that you have the drive on the RIGHT
And want to flash the drive on the LEFT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting The Hitachi Into Mode B
There are 4 different ways to get a HITACHI into MODE B
1) Slax Linux Boot Disk
2) Two Wire Trick
3) Connectivity Kit
4) Hot Swap
I will go through how to do it using the TWO WIRE TRICK
What you will need;
Two Sewing Pins
(A 1K Ohm Resistor Can Be Used But Isnt Needed)
1) Ensure the power cable and av cable are plugged into the xbox
2) Look at the back of your DVD Drive
3) You will see a small black sata cable and a power cable
4) Unplug the power cable and put the sewing pins in to the connector as shown below
Now for the bit the bit people get very scared of doing,
If u do this wrong there is a risk of bricking the drive with no original firmware
1) Touch the 2 sewing pins together, or connect them using a resistor
2) Now turn on the xbox with the pins still connected
3) the SECOND you see the green LED turn on untouch the pins
the pins will usually just spring back into place if you let go, do some tests first without the power on
Check for Mode B
1) If using the Xbox 360 to power the drive and using the wire/resistor trick, your Xbox 360’s power LED should flash
rapidly
2) With all methods, it should take two presses of the eject button to either open or close the DVD tray.
3) With all methods, when you eject the drive back in using the eject button, it should auto-eject back open a second later.
4) Obviously, if the drive shows up in Windows, then it is in ModeB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecting The Xbox To The PC
1) Now the Hitachi is in MODE B, dont turn the xbox off!
2) Turn off the PC
3) Use a seperate sata cable to connect the xbox 360 drive to the pc mother board
4) Turn on your pc
5) Whilst pc is booting up just keep ejecting the drive, as some people have found that not ejecting the drive leads the computer to freeze while loading, you do not have to keep on ejecting when the computer has booted up
6) Open "My Computer" and check if the new drive is listed
