360 Firmware Toolbox
Current Version: 4.8 | Written by Maximus


360 Firmware Toolbox is a graphical tool to handle several common dvd-drive firmware tasks. This is the better tool you will find. You can copy-paste the keys from one firmware to another no matter if they are different vendor (samsung or hitachi) and not matter the version of the FW Allows SMART PATCH for rolling code firmwares (Hitachi 0078) and also Direct Flash on all drives, even the nasty 78 drives. RAWDUMP does not work fine with SIL chipsets yet, be aware of use the validate checksum feature to avoid bad dumps and bricks. We will be working on SIL chipsets later.

The flasher/restore appears to be rock solid now, also very easy to understand, so this could be the base to flash future firmware releases, even on the 78 FEATURES: - Direct Dump and Direct Flash over all versions of GDR3120L drives even the 0078 FK drives. For 79 FK you will need aditional device attached to the drive. - Allow copy-paste of the keys between firmare not matter if they are crypted or not or if they are different vendor or even better, not matter which version of Fw 46,47,59,78 etc) - Do common firmware tasks with a mouse click - Supports Samsung and Hitachi firmwares All Versions - Shows Vendor, ROM version and also if its CRYPTED or NOT - Allow crypt or decrypt the files - Shows the 16 byte Keys not matter if the file is Crypted - Allows adding of TAGS to a KEY like Owner, Serial No, Date. (Dont worry, the tags are not saved onto firmware file) - Fully Integrated with Windows Context Menu (like winrar) - Fully Supports 512 KB firmwares (2 banks)

Maximus - FIRMWARE TOOLBOX V4.8

Last minute change, thanks to DeViLs360 for pointing possible issue
with spoofing drives to liteon

WHATS NEW ON V4.8:

- 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.

WHATS WAS NEW ON YESTERDAY V4.7:

- 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.

Congrats to geremia, c4e and all others for the latest Liteon releases

KNOWN ISSUES:
If the context menu is not shown when you right-click over a file just
open the application and do Options-Disable Windows Menu and then
Options-Enable Windows Context Menu. Also RAWDUMP does not work
fine with SIL chipsets, be aware of use the validate checksum feature
to avoid bad dumps and bricks

Some USB 2 SATA Adapters hangs at the moment of dumping, use a
Native Sata PC
