Xbox Backup Creator v2.3 and Kreon’s SH-D163A Firmware

It’s still within the month of October that we receive new version updates from both Redline99 and Kreon on their Xbox Backup Creator v2.2 and DH-162C firmware respectively. Redline99 came up with the Xbox Backup Creator v2.3 whose changelog include the following:

• Added – Support for SH-D163A using KreonÂ’s firmware
• Changed – Get Security Sector procedure to retry up to 5 times on failure
• Changed – Stealth Check to include Security Sector. It also will do an additional check for Xbox One 0×0200 – 0×02CF

Kreon’s alternative firmware, on the other hand, supports easy creation of Xbox 360 disc backups. The main difference between the previous version DH-162C is that it’s now directly ported to the Samsung SH-D163A S-ATA and the TS-H353A DVD-ROM drives.

Full challenge/response functionality.

• Two types of unlock for Xbox 360 game discs. One for making xtreme style images and one for making wxripper style images.
• A ‘lock’ function that will cancel any enabled unlock state. This can be very useful for custom applications.
• ‘Error skipping’ which basically speeds up the error handling of the drive. A complete wxripper style image (including vi deo) can be obtained in 15-16 minutes, when error skipping is enabled. Getting through the critical area of LBA 19408-20479 wi ll take you more than 20 minutes alone, if error skipping is disabled
• A much more streamlined command interface which is good news if you intend to write an application that makes use of the drives extra features.
• The drive will default to unlock state 2 and error skip enabled when a 360 media is inserted. In other words, you can use isobuster to obtain a wxripper style image without issuing any commands to the drive
• RPC1 support (RPC-2 actually but with automatic change of drive region and RCE support)

Many Xbox 360 hacking enthusiasts are excited to learn next version updates from these two developers and if you’re one of them, keep browsing QJ for the next new stuff we’ll post coming from them.
