RGH Stuck with Lite-On 74 after RGH

[Answered]Stuck with Lite-On 74 after RGH

Okay, so my very first 360 had a Falcon mobo & a Lite-on 74. It got banned back in 2009. Probably had something to do with it having a Hitachi spoofed as a Lite-on, lol. Anyway, it was just in the closet for a couple years & I found it yesterday. I had one Coolrunner board left & went to it. Dumped x2 & compared the NAND (dash 8955), wrote the .ecc, programmed the coolrunner, played with wire placement till xell boot for cpu key, made a 13604 RGH Freeboot image, finally flashed the NAND. Boots on first cycle every time. RGH baby!
Now here's the only issue. I never updated to a 13xxx retail dash, so I still have a Lite-on 74. I should have a Lite-on 0251. While I can still play my XGD3 retail discs, I want to be able to flash to LT 3.0 when it comes out.

Basically, my only concern is having to remove the coolrunner. If I can just switch to PRG & update via disc, I'm cool with it. If I have to remove my perfectly installed coolrunner, then screw that.
Does this scenario sound feasible:
Flash Lite-on 74 to stock, switch coolrunner to PRG, update with Wave 13 disc, re-dump NAND x2 & compare, write ecc, test for xell boot, flash RGH freeboot made from new Nand dump.

If your already on 13604 modified dash just update the drive no need to re do the whole process. Flash 2.0 for lite on which is 02510c so you have xgd3 playability.

Will that work, since my kv still says Lite-on 74?

Yep or if you want to be certain you can go into 360 flash dump tool and patch the kv to unspoofed no drive info. Takes away the need for an osig. I have had no problems with any drives tested several all different than the osig.

Thank you so much. This is the first time I've forgotten to update before an RGH & I thought I'd doubled my workload, lol. That's an hour of annoyance dropped to ten minutes

 

[WestCoastConsoles]

Happy to ease your mind. Once you are rgh'ed the options are almost limitless.

Just to confirm, for those who might run into the same problem.
Simply spoofed Lite-on 74 drive to 0251. Plugged & played with no problem. Didn't even have to reflash a no drive/unspoofed Freeboot to it

You're not spoofing anything.

Open the 0251 as the destination firmware.
Click manual spoof to enter your DVD key.
Erase the drive
Write.

Done.

Same results, different method.
I just loaded my old 74 dummy.bin as source, loaded LT+2.0 as target, clicked spoof source to target, erase, write, outro, & done.
I know it's not "spoofing", as it's the same drive, just different firmware. I just used the JF terminology for ease of explanation.
