So I'm currently working on my liteon 360, so I decided to plug in my old hitachi and get it updated. Its a v47, so I can only use max firmware. The following guide assumes you have updated to the new XGD3 dashboard 2.0.13599.0 (or newer) - Your Liteon DG-16D2S will have been updated to a new firmware - 02510C (so it is now no longer classed as a 74850C, 83850C or 93450C - but a Liteon DG-16D2S 02510C).
Short version- this is more or less the same as any other hacked DVD firmware update in that you grab the base firmware, grab the matching version of jungleflasher, wind in your keys and flash that to your drive. Has jungleflasher and tutorials but as per usual one needs to look a bit harder to find the firmware.Background. The recent dashboard update (and the betas of it) reflashed the DVD drives ostensibly to support the as yet unseen (aside from the discs sent with the beta) XDG3 disc format which in and of itself removed the ability to play copied discs but MS also took the time to fiddle with a few things meaning a more or less complete rewrite was needed. You could have just flashed an old hacked firmware back (at the cost of XDG3 support) but it would not have been livesafe.LT1.9 has been released for Samsung (LT+ was for ap2.5 and samsung does not support this if you recall)LT+ v1.9 for the benq and liteon (as in the original liteons (be it 7 series, 8v1, 8v2 or 9 series)- the liteons that come with the slim are another matter) have been released.XDG3 backup support is not available in these releases but if you have a pressed disc with it on then it should work. Code: C4E's iXtreme LT+ in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter-Official release of the iXtreme LT v1.9 for Samsung & LT+ v1.9 for Benq and Lite-On (phat models)- CFW's based on new XGD3 dashboard (2.0.13146.0) updated OFW's- supports booting AP25 backups and XGD3 originals.All AP2.5 titles will need to be re-patched as the DAE tables have been updated.Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.Thanks also go to Team Xecuter for their support to this project.Jungleflasher changelog.

The slim liteon 0225 should still be in testing although there were some tweaks done and for those that missed it the slim Lite-On (both versions including the 0401) has some hardware mods coming up (either board replacements for about $70 USD or considerably more troubling chip replacements for about $20 USD).No word on anything for the slim hitachi drive although these are quite rare apparently. LA Noire would have been the 12625 dash (nothing has appeared with the new one yet as far as I know). This added Call of Duty MW2, COD black ops and Halo reach as you probably already know.
Spoofing by this point was already blocked so you should be good and it should be fine to carry on with but as that model supported AP2.5 those 6 games with it will still have to be reburned if you want to play then. I guess the drive had a read function that worked with XDG3 and thus did not really need an update.@Tanveer spoofing to different drive hardware models (at least without the CPU key and fiddling with the NAND) was more or less blocked but many drives are the same hardware but with different firmwares and those can still be fiddled with. Alas the hitachi scene is a complex nightmare I have tended to steer clear of (and been fortunate enough to avoid being dragged into) so I am hesitant to call it. Can this firmware still be flashed in dosflasher?

It's what I had been using thus far, because while Jungleflasher worked beautifully for extracting keys, I'd never been able to successfully flash the drive itself (or do the erase part first) without it crapping out, and subsequently locking up the whole system whenever I tried accessing it.Also, still currently on the pre-XGD3 dash. So thinking up how to do this. I am guesisng the safest thing right now, would be.- use Jungleflasher to put together LT 1.9 with correct drive key- flash to stock- assemble 360, perform update- after verifying all works, shut down, take dvd drive out- flash LT 1.9 on it, as I've yet to have any XGD3 gamesOr would it be better to wait for 2.0? Then again, that could be a while, since it seems C4E has their hands full. And even moreso if they ever start undertaking modded firmwares for ps3 drives as was rumored. Re Dosflasher I am really not sure.

Supposedly the new OFW this was based upon has been rejigged so if dosflasher does any form of verification (I know it has less than jungleflasher as I have used it for such things on several occasions) on the hacked firmwares it might fall short. Your planned order of doing things would mirror mine exactly though.To the best of my knowledge 1.9 is only a stopgap in the sense that XDG3 copies are not supported (only that Halo disc that came with the beta uses XDG3 at present) but everything else should be solid.
