I have a hitachi and i dont know how to flash. Can some one help me.
I have obtained a modified firmware
heres the readme
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_2_Stealth 8in1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*** MOST OF THE WORK IS FROM garyOPA, even most of this Readme File ***
*** TESTED MANY TIMES ON 46/47/59/59B, other versions not tested ***
FEATURES (my contribution on this release):
* Removed old media detection and replaced with better media detection
(media detection ver 2) from Geremia.
* Incorporates Maximus Firmware Stealth (Full Firmware Stealth)
* Added support for 59b firmware (what a stupid fw)
* Not yet Media Stealth... I have not heard news on this topic
Three Commands (for flashing use only one: Flash15s or Flash22s, no both):
FLASH22S.BAT: Flashes your drive with 2.2 Fw Stealth (Media Detect 2,
F900 core and Firwmare Stealth
FLASH15S.BAT: Flashes your drive with 1.5 Fw Stealth (Media Detect 2,
and Firwmare Stealth, (NO F900 Core)
RESTORE.BAT: Return your drive to original State, even if you have
firmware stealth in your drive
*RECOMENDATION: If you have flashed your drive in the past use RESTORE
first. If it is a brand new drive use directly the Flash command you
like. If you dont plan to use your drive to dump games use the
flash15s.bat
* ALL NEW XTREME V2.2 FIRMWARE FOR ALL BUILDS OF THE HITACHI DRIVES!
- Now includes "Security Sector Extraction" for all Hitachi Drives
- Included media detection 2 from Geremia and Maximus Firmware
Stealth, this release just supports SS Extraction within Windows
without the need to re-flash your drive back and forth between
PLAY & RIP!
Flashing your drive
-------------------
FLASH22S.BAT automatically makes a complete backup of your firmware system
* To FLASH a drive, it must be in "Mode B" and have "Drive Letter"
* Then just run FLASH21 from "Command Prompt" while inside windows
* Prompt must be at the same directory with the rest of the files!
* FLASH22S needs two variables, the assigned "Drive Letter", and any 4
numbers for the BACKUP directory, use a new unique number like 1572
- This is used to make your BACKUP directory!
- For Example: FLASH22S.BAT H 1572
- Will cause the FLASH after running to have, a BACKUP directory
"X22-1572" and the program will store FIVE firmware files:
---- key.bin ---- DRIVE KEY /// DRIVE KEY
---- was.bin ---- Your drive before FLASH
---- gdrXX.bin ---- The untouch original fw
---- XX_22.bin ---- The patched Xtreme22 fw
---- now.bin ---- Your drive after FLASH!
- Where the XX in the above names will be the version of your Hitachi
* Program will not start unless a BACKUP is correctly made and stored!
* Flash will auto-detect your firmware build of your Hitachi drive.
* You can flash any drive, even "v1.1" or "f900" or your own hacks.
* System will check flashed firmware, and redo until 100% completed.
* Once you get the PASS / DONE line, you can shut-down the system.
FLASH15S.BAT is the same as above but, without F900 core, use this
if you dont want to extract SS with your drive.
Restoring your drive
--------------------
RESTORE.BAT automatically restores your drive back to original state
* To RESTORE a drive, it must be in "Mode B" and have "Drive Letter"
* Then just run RESTORE from "Command Prompt" while running windows.
* The new RESTORE does not need any backup, it will 100% restore your
drive back to "ORIGINAL" state as long as it is visible in Windows!
* Program will not start unless it detects the version of your Hitachi!
* You can restore any drive, even "v1.1" or "f900" or your own hacks.
* System will check flashed firmware, and redo until 100% completed.
* Once you get the PASS / DONE line, you can shut-down the system.

Backup guy why dont you offer people some help I have not seen all your posts but what I have seen are stupid comments like this one.
Back to topic you need to connect your 360 to your pc in order to flash and put it into modeb. There are several ways to modeb I use the 2 wire trick dont be afraid of it its very easy to do. Next you need to connect via a sata port if you dont have one you can get this one at newegg its exactly what you need http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124022 and its fairly cheap. Now you need to go ahead and flash make sure your 360's power supply is plugged into a common outlet or powerstrip for grounding purposes and also have the av cable plugged into the back of your unit. That is it.
no the only way you can get windows to detect it is in modeb Its a debug setting so basically it unlocks your drive and allows you to perform maintence on it like flashing the FW its like that so you cant just plug and play and also to keep people that dont know what they are doing from screwing up there system by just plugging it into there pc
can you put a video up on how to do the 2 wire thing becasue i read the tutorials and stuff but still dont understant it
and i heard u can put it into modeb through an xecuter connecitivity kit is this true
