Can I flash my Lite-on drive without dvd drive key/dummy.bin

[Romuald27]

Hello,

Unlike my first Xbox (BenQ drive), I didn't need equipment for dump the dvd drive key.
But today, I want flash a lite-on drive (02510c) and I see I need to buy equipment (Probe III or Scorpion II).

My question is: "The key is it necessary to flash my drive ?", "What if I flash my drive without the key ?"

PS: I am no longer under warranty and I do not wish go back in OFW.

Best regards.

Of course the dvd key is necessary, unless all you want to play is dvds (movies).

Why it's necessary ?
I can't just flash my drive without the key ?

If the DVD key isn't present in the firmware written to the drive the console will NOT read any games but will show them as Dvd's instead. Thus for turning your console into a a posh DVD player with itv player and such

Key is necesary to play games.If you flash your drive with wrong key you will get play dvd error on games.Movies will be fine.

If you can't extract the key with JF methods, but you are familiar with RGH process, you can boot to xell to get the dvd key and spoof manualy the key in FW.

The drive reads data and encrypts it with the drive key, the motherboard has the same key - so as long as they match it can decrypt the data correctly and authenticate.

If they key doesnt exist (well, match, as there has to be a key there of some sort) - the decryption of data fails and the drive wont be authenticated, thus it won't be permitted to read the game partition.
