Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360 Ensure Hitachi drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd Go to Windows Run Xtreme.bat batch file from a dos prompt specifing drive letter eg "xtreme.bat g" Pause has been added after each flash, just press any key to continue. All done! Run Restore.bat to revert to original firmware eg "restore.bat g" Media detection on Hitachi -------------------------- Due to the Hitachi drives detection of Book-type DVD-Rom dual layer media taking longer than other types of media (you will hear click click noise, security sector read routine has not be executed at this stage!) this can cause the Xbox360 dashboard to timeout causing open tray prompt. This is normal operation for the Hitachi drive and has nothing to do with the security sector read routine or any of the Xtreme firmware patches. Use the HDTV switch/HDD trick to soft reset the console (this doesnt reset the dvd drive) eliminating the timeout issue. Unreconized disc/dirty disc error is due to incompatible media/burner/SS for use with Hitachi. Best results are found using Verbatim media and Pioneer burner. Thanks to everyone at Xboxhacker.net for all their discussions. Thanks go to Seventhson for flashsec and memdump and Loser for firmcrypt, without these tools this would not be possible. Thanks also to #FW on IRC for support/discussion Commodore4Eva
