Typing HddHackr at a DOS promptwill start auto mode. In auto mode all hard drives will be detected automatically.In manual mode you can enter all the parameters used for flashing by hand.The following help screen is displayed if you start HddHacker with a wrong number ofarguments:HDDHACKR [C|D|F|R] [PORT] [DRIVE POS] [sECTOR FILE] [RESTORE FILE]C: Create Partitions 0/2/3D: Dump sector 16-22 from XBOX360 HDD to fileF: Flash Western Digital firmwareR: Restore Western Digital firmwarePORT: Port to send command to e.g. 09F0DRIVE POS: A0 for Master, B0 for SlaveSECTOR FILE: Sector dump file e.g. HDDSS.BINRESTORE FILE: Firmware restore file e.g. UNDO.BINExample for create, dump, flash and restore:HDDHACKR C 09F0 A0HDDHACKR D 09F0 A0 HDDSS.BINHDDHACKR F 09F0 A0 HDDSS.BIN UNDO.BINHDDHACKR R 09F0 A0 UNDO.BINExplanation of the Parameters---------------------------------[C|D|F|R]---------- this will set the mode of operation, it is recommended to first try to dump the XBOX360hard drive data, if the dump will fail, it is highly unlikely that a flash or restorewill succeed on the Western Digital drive[PORT]--------- the port to which the Hard Drive is connected, a port number should always be enteredin hexadecimal and have 4 hex digits, valid ports are: 01F0, 09F0, .....- this option can be used if your PCI adapter card or on board SATA ports arenot identified by the auto mode[DRIVE POS]-------------- on SATA ports this value is always A0, cause you can only connect a master drive toa SATA port, so for SATA you will always type A0 here[sECTOR FILE]---------------- name of the sector 16-22 dump file better known as HDDSS.BIN[RESTORE FILE]----------------- name of the firmware restore file e.g. UNDO.BINUsing HddHacker in auto or manual mode------------------------------------* Dumping the HDDSS.BIN file *Boot to MS-DOS from a writeable medium (like a floppy or UBS Stick).Connect an *original* Xbox360 HDD to your SATA controller. Make sure it is the onlySATA device that is connected. Now run 'HDDHACKR D [PORT] A0 HDDSS.BIN' and it will createthe file 'HDDSS.BIN' and save it to the path you've started HddHacker from.* Creating Partitions 0/2/3 *In auto-mode the Partition 0/2/3 will be created automaticly to make the drive compatiblewith "Xplorer360" and XBOX360 Console. In manual-mode you have to type 'HDDHACKR C [PORT] A0'.* Flashing your Western Digital *Turn off your PC and connect the Western Digital hard drive. Boot to MS-DOS again.Type 'HDDHACKR F [PORT] A0 HDDSS.BIN UNDO.BIN' from the same path you have saved the HDDSS.BINfile to. This will create an 'UNDO.BIN' file that you need if you want to undo the hackand flash your firmware back to the original state.* Restoring your WD to original state *If you don't want to use your modded WD HDD in your XBOX360 anymore and you want toflash it back to its original size/state, then you can now do so. Boot to MS-DOS andrun 'HDDHACKR R [PORT] A0 UNDO.BIN'. This will use the UNDO.BIN file you created before torestore the drive to its original state.* Vendor Intro Power Brute for misflashed drives *To enter the recovery mode you should boot to MS-DOS, connect your hard drive to PC and type'HDDHACKR R [PORT] A0 UNDO.BIN'. If the hard drive is misflashed you will be prompted with:"Western Digital Vendor Intro failed on port [PORT]""Do you want to resend the command until the drive responds (Y/N)?"Press YES, disconnect the hard drive from power and connect it again.You should get Status 0x50 and the drive will be reflashed.* Adjust IntelliPark Timer, WD only *IntelliPark is not that intelligent. In fact, with default settings it parks the headsafter 8 seconds of inactivity. This means, depends of your OS and usage pattern the drive will reachit's designed lifetime in very short time. Meaning of IntelliPark values.Resolution is 0.1 seconds from 0.1 to 12.8 seconds.Resolution is 30.0 seconds from 30.0 to 3810.0 seconds.Note, times between 12.8 and 30.0 seconds will be set to 30.0 seconds.Default timer is 8.0 seconds, recommended timer is 300.0 seconds.To disable timer type 0 seconds.FAQ-----Q. Is it true that in several cases, booting PC with connected HDDwill change LBA size of my hard drive and it will no longer work in x360?A. Yes, most modern mainboard/BIOS manufacturer modify LBA size,they cut the harddrive for HPA and store additional BIOS data at the end of a hard disk.So if you have such mainboard that uses this technology, do not have the a hard drivepowered on during BIOS detection, it will break XBOX360 compatibility.To get the x360 compatibility back, simply reflash the HDDSS.BIN.Q. I heard lot of people having problems with the new 2010/2011 models.Does it matter wich moddel I have?A. The 2010/2011 drive are the same, lots of people have hacked them perfectly.99% of problems appear to be SATA chipset or BIOS configuration.Q. Will this tool allow me to connect a 500GB drive to my x360 ?A. No. The information on sector 16 is signed and can't be changed. You canonly use the size where you have a valid signature for. In otherwords, if abigger HDD comes out, then you can use that signature.Q. With which HDD's does this work ?A. As of version 1.40, it now works with all sizes and versions of theWesternDigital Scorpio Series.Q. Do I need the same size WD HDD as the size on sector 16 states ?A. No. You can use bigger HDD's, but you can't use more than the size statedin sector 16. You can NOT use smaller HDD's than the size on sector 16 states.For example, you can use a 40GB HDD with a sector 16 from a 20GB HDD, butnot the other way around of course.Q. Can I use the HDD in my PC again ?A. Of course. The tool comes with an 'restore' option, that will restore theoriginal size. For example, you use a 40GB WD HDD, you used HDDSS.BIN froma valid xbox360 20GB HDD, so the tool will transform your 40GB HDD into a 20GB HDD.However, you can restore it to 40GB anytime you want with the restore option.Q. I lost my UNDO.BIN file, can I use it from another drive ?A. There's no guarantee this will work. It might kill your drive.Using a UNDO.BIN from a different model (e.g. LAT/RST) will kill your drive for sure.Q. I have a XBOX360 Core/Arcade version and want to use this hack to buy a cheap HDD.But how do i connect it ?A. If you don't have a Premium/Elite, you can make the HDD internal. One great tutorialthat will show you how to do this: http://www.xboxhacker.net/index.php?topic=9542.0Q. The tool doesn't detect my HDD !A. First, make sure you are running it from real MS-DOS, not from a DOS box under windows.If the HddHacker does not autodetect your SATA controller then let us know about it.Q. The HddHacker says the UNDO.BIN file already exists.A. If you previously made an UNDO.BIN file, then you should keep that one. There's noneed to create another one. Keep in mind that the UNDO.BIN represents the current stateof the drive.Q. Could you do this for my Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung or whatever drive too ?A. Yes, but I don't have plans to do so. It is a lot of work to convert this toolfor usage with other brands and don't think it is worth the trouble.Q. Where can I donate ?A. Nowhere. Just enjoy!Thanks and greetings to all participants!- Team MODFREAKz for initial logic board experiments- Loser for his findings on the sector 16-22- Antman1 and Rutger1413 for supplying info about the new 120GB signature- thethinker_uk for supplying an RST hard drive- LordX for his tones of chipset tests- Homer2102 for supplying a x360 with vulnerable kernel and everybody else at XS/XBH.Special thanks to TheSpecialist for his excellent assembler app!Modfreakz and Schtrom in March 2013 Source: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=746020 thanks to steveo197 for the news tip HddHackr_v1.40_Build_20130303.rar HDDSS500.zip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
