Birdy Hitachi-LG Friendly Flasher with Xtreme v1.2 (All versions) *Update*
>> *Update* !WARNING! From GaryOPA
[QUOTE]
I get back and see nice "post" from Birdy. --- Neat program... BUT NEEDS WORK.
DO NOT USE FOR V32 / V36 / V40 DRIVES.
WAIT FOR AN UPDATE.

The reasons are:
#1: V32 code is in the V36 folder
#2: V36 code is in the V32 folder
#3: V40 is missing, has V46 code instead

Simple fix for "Birdy" to do. -- By the way, thanks for giving us credit for our work.

Birdy released a new version of his Hitachi-LG FW package, that now has a nice GUI tool for flashing your drive (instead a of cmd-line application):

RELEASE INFO:
Friendly Flasher (Windows application) for Hitachi drives
Includes Xtreme hack v1.2 for All versions (v32/v36/v40/v46/v47/v59)
Xbox-Scene

FEATURES:
* Auto-Detect Hitachi Drive connected to Windows and its firmware version
* Can restore / flash with user friendly interface
* Auto Retry if flashing or restoring fails
* Auto Verify if Flash / Restore went sucessfully
* Xtreme Hack 1.2 contains all the goodies mentioned on previous releases (see releases from birdy and garyopa)

Currently I am working on merged version with the F900 (extract security sectors) and with a Stealth mode. Stay tuned.

FLASHING YOUR DRIVE:
* This application automatically makes a backup of your firmware and asks for save location.
** Make sure you are flashing over an ORIGINAL image on your drive, if needed first do a RESTORE. Undesired results can be achieved if you flash over a previously flashed image.
- Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC
- Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
- Ensure drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd
- Go to Windows
- Run hitachiflash.exe and if the drive is properly connected it should get detected
- Choose the Action: "Patch your firmware with xtreme 1.2"
- Hit go and wait,
- There will be a prompt asking where you want to place the backup of the original
firmware (before patching)
- The flash must start, if some "retry" windows appears hit YES/OUI until finished
- At the end the application will check for 100% so you can shut down the system

RESTORING YOUR DRIVE (Requires previously saved Firmware Image)
- Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC
- Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
- Ensure drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd or if you have the Xtreme 1.2 then use the TWEAK starting the box with the tray opened
- Go to Windows
- Run hitachiflash.exe and if the drive is properly connected it should get detected
- Choose the Action: "Restore Original firmware"
- Hit go and wait,
- There will be a prompt asking for your original UNENCRYPTED image
- The restore must start, if some "retry" windows appears hit YES/OUI until finished
- At the end the application will check for 100% so you can shut down the system
