Flashing your drive
---------------------------

Advisable to make a backup of your dvd drive firmware first.("mtkflash r /m orig.bin")
Please make sure you hexedit the Xtreme.bin firmware (Not Xtrm0800.bin firmware) to include your
dvd drive key from your original firmware (usually at $4000-4200).
Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
Power on Xbox 360
Power on PC
Boot with standard dos boot disk with included mtkflash utility
Run "mtkflash w /m firmwarename.bin" with relevant firmware file (Xtreme.bin for running backups or
Xtrm0800.bin for security sector extraction)

Extracting Security Sector
---------------------------------------

Ensure DVD drive has been flashed with Xtrm0800.bin firmware. Drive can now work under Windows.
Insert original game disk into drive and wait for windows to detect disk change
Run DVDinfoPro
Enter the following four custom cdb commands:

AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 01 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 03 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 05 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 07 C0

Then save hexadecimal display as bin file as SS.bin

Didnt take them too long did it. Anybody want to be a guinea pig and try it out?

[backin-strachan]

I'd rather not:D

[Blaze Lord]

And get banned from Live? No.

[bingo83]

They dont know whether MS has a way to detect that the firmware has been tampered with. But for now Live is defo playable.

[phatmuther]

well i havent even got the right drive for it :( oh well

[Blaze Lord]

It's ridiculous to assume Microsoft couldn't and/or wouldn't add a check right in a moments notice. And since there's a Dashboard update on the way... In the long run, if not this next update, Live definitely won't stay playable for modded 360s.

[Raisedbyflames]

and they will make the new game's unplayable unless you install the update on their disks

[RiLu@]

I've in jail for play with PS2 back-ups i will not do that again!

you went to jail?!? for playin PS2 backups?!? whoa! thats unlucky

[Tobes]

I have never had a update from a disc before... maybe if I connect to Live like say... Halo2 updated my dash.

They can't stop newer games from playing on your 360 because you haven't got the newest version of the dash. I know the PSP does but well... it's the PSP.

Just joking!!!

but they will force you to get the latest update, they wont let you on live otherwise, updates have come on xbox games before where it updates your xbox, so its likely it will happen again

When have MS ever done this? Yeh they have done dash updates but ONLY if you want to use Live and if your going to be using a mod your not going to want to use live.

plenty of games have had dash updates in em, halo 2 had a dash update for sure, but theres plenty of games that have updates on em

[Tobes]

Yeh I didn't say games dont come with updates. Heck I even said on this page that Halo 2 has an update. But only when you connect you live. If you had a new old xbox and chucked the disc in and played single player thewre would be no update made untill you you go on multiplayer then xbox live.

[Outlaw]

yep Tob3z is right, i played single player and i didn't have to do no update and then when i connected to live it popped up saying there is an update for the game
