Flashing a Hitachi 47DJ drive

[Peak]

So I have it connected, and in ModeB and everything, and ran the command:

FLASH23S F 1873

With my 360 drive being registered as the F: drive.

So, It starts to run, and outputs this:

Flashing 1/9 sector 90003000 (Xtreme Custom Code)...

It has been on 'Flashing 1/9 sector' for about 20 minutes, and am wondering if I have gone wrong, and what I've done wrong? I'm still leaving it to flash, but how long should it take?

 

[agentash]

should take about five mins mate

 

[Peak]

Eeek, it's taken over 40 minutes now, just on the one sector thing.

Is there another way to flash it or whatever? What should I do now?

 

[agentash]

ive done a 47 and a 59 but i always close any other programs down and disconnect my internet connection maybe somthing conflicting with the flash

 

[SPACE]

i hvae done one of these now and no problems.
if it all goes pear shaped i think it has already made a copy of your original firmware about here.

im not too sure but you should be able to do the restore.bat and it should go to normal. i dont really know but thats my understanding of it.

 

[Peak]

I don't know. I don't have a hard-drive on my 360 atm and I can't get my kreon drive to install (need help lol), but I did this, and it obviousl froze or sometyhing. I didn't restore it, but it still plays original games fine. I haven't tested it on a copied CD, but could it be that I did flash it, it just didn't show up on the command prompt?

 

[johnjohn]

it probably froze. When i flashed that version of hitachi it did the whole flash in about 20 seconds

takes me noramally about 2-4 mins. i never run any other programs tho

Ya you may want to watch what processes you
are running while trying to do things that
rely heavily on CPU resources while running
other things. Like iTunes.

 

[Peak]

I removed everything, all USB ports on my PC, all CD's were removed, no extra processes were running, i had no internet connection. Is there any other way to flash it or is that it?

Did you open and close the Hitachi drive a couple times as Windows is loading?

Yeah, while it was in the booting screen, I opened and closed it, and then left it closed for windows to boot.

another way of flashing is by using the hotswap method which is also mentioned in the tutorial.

I don't have a SATA DVD drive, they're both IDE. I'll have another go at this, but connect my 360 directly to my motherboard, insted of the PCI card with SATA ports on it.

Will this change anything?
