I just wanted to make sure I understood this properly. The instructions are saying that you cannot spoof a different model drive that it must be the original benq or liteon. I was a bit confused. Does that mean that a different model drive other than benq and liteon cannot be spoofed or vise versa a benq or liteon that has been spoofed as a different drive will not work with new firmware?

AP25 checks the OSIG so if you have a spoofed drive and you load an AP25 game, it wont boot and you'll be flagged for a ban. You have to have the same drive model and revision to be safe.
edit: hmm, that info was taken from C4E and an op in the jungleflasher IRC channel, but after looking a few people on xbox scene are saying they spoofed liteon/benq and one said he played an AP25 game and his xval came back clean. Personally I'd take the word of c4e and stick to the same drive though

I take it that you have to have the original liteon or benq drive and those can be spoofed. If you have a different drive like hitachi and its spoofed as a liteon benq then it might work but your taking a chance on live.

I have a Samsung drive, spoofed as Lite-On DG-16D2S Rev. 93450C. I have the original drive but there's something wrong with it. After I had dumped the key and original firmware the drive stopped responding at all. Now it doesn't eject, nothing can see it, etc. I have noticed a wire going to the PCB snapped so I'll try fix that with a solder iron or something.. but that's another issue...
I have heard that AP25 does not affect Samsung drives? Did I hear wrong? What does that mean for me since my Xbox 360 assumes it has the original DG-16D2S drive, and not the Sammy. I don't play backups on live, ever. I am just worried about my Xval if I try to play an AP25 game offline. I haven't even updated to the latest Dash yet until I can see some results from other people in similar situation. Any insight or is to too early to tell?

I have an interest in this. I have a Benq spoofed as a Hit 79. Can I reflash with LT+? I have the OFW and the key.
Thanks

Just curious, where do you guys go to buy a specific drive? For future reference in case I ever need to replace my drive.

I have a spoofed benq drive (to Liteon). I have updated to LT + and playing all AP25 games perfect. I have also gone on xbox live for first time this week, plyed Stealth checked AC:BH for hours. Checked with Xval 2.0 and all came back clean. Hope this helps?

I got mine from Ebay as well. I got one with no firmware for $20, which you have to write the firmware with your dvd key anyway.
