Maximus - 360 Firmware Toolbox(info) v3.1 (with Garyopa Disc Jitter Check)
The Credit on the Hitachi 1.7 is to C4E for his original Hitachi Jitter Fix and to Garyopa for layout those changes on other versions
WHATS NEW ON V3.1:
* Added: Hitachi Xtreme 1.7 (Disc Jitter Fix)
* Added: Smart Hack Patcher now works for all Production Drives V40 thru v79
* Added: Correctly show and handle of keys for Hit79 drives
* Corrected: Bug displaying Samsung FW as spoofed (display error)
* Corrected: Several other bugs
* Improved : Checksum checkup when dumping
* Added: OCX's included on the release (they are available on Microsoft site anyway)
Release Notes:
On Xtreme 1.7 the F900 core and Stealth FW have been removed. This could be seen as a Step Back, but indeed is 2 steps ahead.
By one side we are trying to build one solid application (toolbox) that would make easier the future Hitachi Releases (which currently its a pain because of all the variations) and by other side it incorporates Disc-Jitter check fix for Hitachi drives.
The F900 core needs more work and can be easily incorporated on future versions along with other goodies that already are under development (media-stealth, single layer support, etc).
The Fw Stealth was a good idea but it has been proven that the fw could be readed by other means, indeed the newer versions (78+) does not have the need to implement stealth so I think it will not be used anymore.
WHAT IS NEXT ON FUTURE TOOLBOX VERSIONS ?:
* Direct dump/flash of 79 drives
* Smart Hack Patcher configurable by script (avoid hard coded rules)
* Restore and Patch Wizards (for totally noobs)
PLEASE ADD A NOTE REGARDING UPGRADING DRIVES UNTIL WE UPDATE THE TOOLBOX TO HANDLE NOOBS.
Some users are Bricking their drives..
The following must be clearly noted if upgrading already patched drive.
#1: Please read the "Tutorial", it will save you time, and money fixing your bricked drive.
#2: Please RESTORE using the same package to originally flash with (If use = Maximus-Garyopa-Xtrm-v2.3rev2 then you must restore with it first)
#3: If your drive has Full Stealth from v2.3rev2 on it, you might not be able to restore if using USB to SATA.
#4: USB to SATA is still not supported on the newer drives like v78 and v79.
