So under "drive revision," I successfully flashed my hitachi drive by choosing 78/79. BUT my drive is a 59 (it says on the top of the actual drive). In jungle flasher it recognized as a 78.
The 360 ran fine for a while but then it red ringed a day later. Maybe I should redo it? Attempting it now.
update: doesn't freakin work. simply can't restore to 58/59 firmware. i guess i changed my 59 hitachi into a 78?
update: restored/flashed to 78 again. but now drive doesn't open at all, even though jungle is giving me success confirmation. i think my drive is dead...even though jungle says everything is fine.
ahhh what should i do.
update: ahahahahaha turns out there was a disk tray power connector i accidentally unplugged. drive works fine now. but 360 still red rings when i plug the drive in. i think my 360 is just dead, but the drive is fine.
wonder if i can sell the drive. eh i'm just gonna towel trick it.

don't towel trick it, look at the fix. a member on this board shows you how to do it. it's a very good fix. I can't remember his name though.. It's in his signature that's for sure.

What error code is it flashing when it red rings? Secondly, if you want to try the heat gun fix, search for w00ly's heat gun fix on this forum...or through w00ly's sig.
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

there is no such thing. The drive probably has a 59 case but the drive is actually a 79. I've swapped cases, they're all the same. The red ring is not related to the drive. Time to trash that console or do a reflow.
