September 2, 2008Maximus 360 Firmware Toolbox v4.8
Posted by The Ori
AS I said in the last article about getting the KEY from the LiteOn drive: Spoofing another drive to report as the LiteOn? Well, here you go!
Maximus released a new version of his 360 Firmware Toolbox!
What’s new/fixed (since v4.6):
* ADDED: Custom Spoofing Option on “Tools->Spoof Firmware” option (it asks for your 96 bytes inquiry.bin), this could be safer for spoofing drives to Liteon because appears Liteon drives have per-drive specific inquiry response.
If you lost you inquiry.bin file and cannot redump it, then go ahead with listed Liteon spoofing option (it will work but you will not have the factory value).
* ADDED: You can now open key.bin file from main window instead of manually type the key (will ask for a 16 bytes file).
* FIXED: Clicking on firmware file didnt open properly on toolbox.
* ADDED: Spoofing drives to Liteon DG model
* ADDED: Detect/Remove Hardware (DVD-ROM) (on File Menu)
* ADDED: Ixtreme 1.4 No-Check Bit firmware for 79 Drives
* FIXED: Several bugs.
* Note: The No-check bit option for 79 drives is not set as default firmware on Smart hack patcher option, you need to choose it from the list on the Special Firmwares section, the reason is it could be unsafe and lead to M$ detection.
Note – At this time: It is currently not confirmed if it is safe to use spoofing with a samsung or hitachi drive, in place of the lite-on. This is due to a specific identification tag that is generated with the SS. There will be firmwares released in the next few weeks to account for the correct values, so wait a while and see what happens.

Im First!!!!
I wish I could replace my crappy hitachi-lg drive with with a lite-on or a Toshibia-Samsung drive….
Why is that?
Because my Hitachi-Lg drive may be less of a hassle to flash but they do not read my backups nearly as well as my old 360 with the Toshibia-Samsung drive. After doing some research it seems I am not the only one who seems to think so…
What drive is best to replace a lite-on using the spoof hack? which drive will be best for playing burned games? where can i buy the drive? thank you!
I would wait until they can prove you can play games on xboxlive before I would think about doing such a thing. The best drive to get in my opinion is the toshibia-samsung is the best one to get. They are a pain in the a** to flash (unless you have a via sata controller card) but they read everything. As for where to get one try (http://www.consoleshop.com)
Good Luck
If the lite-on drive becomes hacked and if you buy original games will you still be able to play online?
i own a xbox 360 moded with the hitachi drive with COD4, Midnight Club LA, and madden 09 and they all play online perfect i can update anytime and even if i ever got any error message its fixable within hours
