------------------------------------------------------- firmtool v1.3 by caster420 ------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: ------- Firmtool was created to allow users to easily create Samsung/BenQ /Hitachi/Lite-ON firmware patched with the correct information from information from their BenQ/Hitachi/Samsung/Lite-On(dummy.bin) original firmware. FEATURES: -------- Firmtool supports original firmware from all drives currently shipped with an Xbox 360 console. It will detect the firmware version, locate, check and copy the key, copy the version strings if different from the hacked firmware (aka spoofing), and copy the drive serial for drives that support this information. USAGE: ----- Simply place your source (original) firmware file (orig.bin) and the source (hacked) firmware (hacked.bin) file in a directory with firmtool.exe. If in windows, open a command prompt window and goto the chosen directory. Then type: firmtool orig.bin hacked.bin If firmtool completes without any errors or warnings, then the hacked firmware is ready to be flashed to your dvd-rom. *** Note: Filenames are not fixed but must conform to the 8.3 dos standard. KNOWN ISSUES: ------------ - When firmtool is too deeply embeded in a directory, it will fail to execute. Simply move it to a directory located closer to the root of your filesystem and it will execute properly. - Firmtool will not accept ENCRYPTED hitachi firmware. You must first decrypt the firmware with 360 Firmware Toolbox. - 'Wisely Loves Lan' error with BenQ original firmware. From what have seen, 99% of original BenQ firmware has this string. If you get this message with firmtool and it completes successfully, chances are your original firmware is fine, it just doesnt have the standard string in your serial.
