HITACHI 79 79FL spoofed as 59DJ won't work

[PeteZR1]

Hi guys,

I was brought an X360 with a broken Hitachi 59DJ and a brand new 79FL as a replacement.

I sticked to JF tutorial as flashed the 79FL with LT+2.0b spoofed as the previous 59DJ. No issues on this but when I tried to make it run, XGD3 backups won't boot: console locks up and bottom right red light goes on. 14699 dash, for the record.

Well, let's bring back this 79FL back to Stock and look for a 59DJ somewhere else. That's when the big problem comes: I put it in mode-b, I unlock it using the 79unlock audio CD but when the time of flashing comes it says "dumping flash" and JF freezes. Any ideas?

Here's the JF log:

Many thanks in advance. I assume there's no way I can use this 79FL in a console that previously has a 59DJ one but the main issue now is that I can't "repair" that 79FL and bring it back to its original state.

It doesn't work because the 59 does not have AP25 whereas the 79 does.

Get yourself another 59 PCB if you can (or any other Pre 78 PCB).

Geez, I opened the thread, made another test and I could unspoof the drive. As it was already flashed, once done that, I put it back in the X360 and now all games boot fine.

The steps I take were, with the 79FL drive spoofed as 59DJ and flashed with LT+2.0 alongside with 59DJ's key, I clicked on tab GDR3120, sent mode-b, unlocked with 79Unlock, I chose the drive in the top right dropdown list, I chose 79 / 78 in the Drive Revision and finally I chose Manual Spoof. After that I left the key unchanged, and I clicked on the Hitachi79 in the list and the bottom of the pop-up window.

Hope this thread helps in case anyone is in a similar situation. Long story short: no need to spoof any more if replacing an Hitachi drive with another Hitachi drive. My bad.

The thread won't help anybody, spoofing from a non-AP25 to an AP25 drive is not the way to do things.
