New Xtreme Firmware Unveiled for Hitachi/LG Drives -v2.1

All those who have a Hitachi/LG drive with their Xbox 360 and have been looking to modify their MS console will be happy to know that garyOPA has just released v2.1 of the Xtreme Firmware. This one, again a 7-in-1, will also allow you to rip the Security Sectors; a feature which has mostly been available to only the Samsung drives.

He did release a v2.0 of the firmware, but it contained a few bugs, which resulted in a quick re-release. Here’s the info from the release:

———————————————————————–
OPA – Xtreme v2.1 firmware – Hitachi 7in1 – v32/v36/v40/v46/v47/v58/v59
———————————————————————–

NEW PACKAGE: “OPA-XTREME-HITACHI-7IN1-V2_1.RAR” 08/08 – 991,956 bytes

 * ALL NEW XTREME V2.1 FIRMWARE FOR ALL BUILDS OF THE HITACHI DRIVES!

   – Now includes “Security Sector Extraction” for all Hitachi Drives

   – No other improvements, same as our earlier “Xtreme v1.3”, this
     release just supports SS Extraction within Windows without the
     need to re-flash your drive back and forth between PLAY & RIP!

 * SMALL BUG fixes from last night release of our Xtreme v2.0 – 7IN1

   – #1: The new delay command frozed on some user’s computer setups.

   – #2: Users with v46 drives had no TRAY FUNCTION after flashing…
    
         * To fix your BRICK (We are very sorry!, But it is fixable!)
         
           – manually open the dvd tray!
           – now power up your PC system
           – power up your bricked drive
           – re-flash the drive with 2.1

   – #3: Users with v47 drives had random “64” errors when playing…

         * To fix this problem, just re-flash your drive with v2.1

He also said that he will be working hard for a new version that would offer the same “Stealth” functionality, which has been offered for Samsung drives with the new Commodore4Eva firmware.
