bricked or not hitachi ???
hi this is my first post here after lots of reading the forums , i was wondering if anyone could help please ? i bough a xbox 360 of ebay and wrote on the drive was hitachi 46 iextreme 1.51 spoofed as a sam ms25 , basicaly i wanted to dump the firmware to get the key for safekeeping and for future flashing e.c.t. so heres what i did
i loaded up jungle flasher and went to the hitachi tab and it kept saying no hitachi drive detected
so what i did i thought oh its spoofed as a samsung so maybe the samsung tab would work , i went to that tab and stupidly pressed the sammy unlock tab !!! and now my drive wont open or close
im thinking though will i be able to recover my key still from this drive as i have not wrote over the firmware that was on it ? or worst case senario what chip would i lift so i could read it in a wilem and what software ?
there seems to be a lot of info on recovering drives but most people were lucky enough to have dumped the key first so im at a bit of a loss anyways im still checking out the forums for this info and would apreciate if someone could help please

Re: bricked or not hitachi ???
you need to send to mode b then dump the drive
make sure your using the primary sata port
its an hitachi so treat as hitachi

Re: bricked or not hitachi ???
need to be careful with hitachi drives mate. my pc froze on a write once and the drive bricked so i just threw it. luckily i had the key though. not sure what to do in your case.

Re: bricked or not hitachi ???
hi im thinking that i wasnt actualy writing anything to the drive and im hoping the key is still on there its the fact i have pressed the unlock samsung button and its an hitachi drive ? or would that actualy write something to the drive ?flashing360 said:
Re: bricked or not hitachi ???
i doubt it would write to the drive as its only an unlock but it might have actually locked the drive. thats not good for hitachis. ive never had this problem but someone like braveheart might know what to do mate. sorry but cant help more than that.
