Xtreme Firmware for Hitachi 46D and 47D Xbox 360 V1.1 Out Now

Commodore4eva is now a certified hero for XBox 360 owners with Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L with Firmware 46D and 47D drive. He has now released his long awaited Xtreme Firmware modification which will allow Hitachi drive users to boot game backups.

If you’re wondering if it will play DVD+R DL. No. It only means that it can read the Security Sector from that section. If you encounter a “flashsec46_win” command error in 46Drestore.bat, either edit the restore.bat and take out the 46 in ALL cases like so, “flashsec46_win” will be “flashsec_win” according to geebee.

Aside from giving you the ability to boot Xtreme Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 (supported by emulator) backups, this one also features booting capabilities on all Xbox 360 and Box 1 (again emulator-supported) originals. To achieve this, here’s a list of what you need to do to flash your drives. (Although this has been proven to be effective, do this at your own risk. You and you alone are responsible for any breakdowns you might encounter while doing it.)

• Xtreme.bat automatically makes a backup of your dvd drive firmware called orig.bin and renames existing orig.bin nine times.
• Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
• Ensure Hitachi drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd
• Go to Windows
• Run Xtreme.bat batch file from a dos prompt specifing drive letter eg “xtreme.bat g”
• Pause has been added after each flash, just press any key to continue.
• All done!
• Run Restore.bat to revert to original firmware eg “restore.bat g”

According to Commodore4eva,”Due to the Hitachi drives detection of Book-type DVD-Rom dual layer media taking longer than other types of media (you will hear click click noise, security sector read routine has not be executed at this stage!) this can cause the Xbox360 dashboard to timeout causing open tray prompt. This is normal operation for the Hitachi drive and has nothing to do with the security sector read routine or any of the Xtreme firmware patches. Use the HDTV switch/HDD trick to soft reset the console (this doesn’t reset the dvd drive) eliminating the timeout issue“.

Once again, he wish to thank Seventhson for the flashsec, #FW on IRC for support/discussion, memdump and Loser for firmcrypt, and to everyone who aided him through opinions during various discussions.
