Hi,

I have a slim console.

The manufacturing date is 2011-10-06 and model is 1439.

Is it possible to know what is my dvd drive with thoses information ?

Chicou
 
Team Xecuter has recently started shipping the unlocked PCB required for these drives, but it'll require doing RGH on your motherboard (Corona) to get the DVDkey.

It's not on operation for the faint of heart, and it's quite difficult even for someone who's good with a soldering iron.

Go for an ODE (Optical Drive Emulator) if you're not a soldering champion.
 
Hi,


You'll need to know the FW version of your DVD drive ;p

1175, 1532 etc


You can also always bring it to a shop (buy the ODDE yourself) and ask if they can install it for you.

I think think it's not easy to know the FW version ? Is it supposed to be written somewhere or I have to retrieve it from the dvd it' self (on the sata) ?

Thank for you help !

Chicou
 
It should also be on the database (a slight indication)

Anyway the only way to 100% make sure what FW your drive has is to disassemble your 360 and look at the DVD drive.
It's on the sticker.

Welcomes.

Ok cool. I'll will look at . to be sure which one I have.
 
Aye.

It's the only way to make 100% sure of what DVD you have in your 360 ;]
You can try to follow various databases etc but you always might have a last console of the production line which has that particular drive.
Or MS assembly found a leftover drive from an old batch and plonked it in your 360.


Friend of mine has a Zephyr 360 without HDMI (don't ask me how) with a Hitachi drive.
Whilst another Zephyr I had has a Benq drive with HDMI.
 
Ok,

I just open it up and I have a 16D5S with a FW version of 1175.

Is it possible to use the ODE ?

What tools I will nee to do it if it is possible ?

Thanx for your Help

Chicou
 
Yes.
To obtain that you'll need to RGH it.
Although for 1175 I'm not entirely sure anymore.
It's either a RGH to obtain the keys or simply dumping the drive.
But an ODDE is possible

Where should I look for this kind of information then ?

Still RGH. Slim Hitachi or 16D5S= RGH for keys.
 
RGHing.
Is your dashboard lower then 14719?
Then you only need a Coolrunner and a Jrunner progammer or NAND-X.

To RGH the 360 it self, use Jrunner (progam) and this guide.
Or bring it to a modshop and ask if they can retrieve the keys and files needed for installing an ODDE.
