Xbox 360 500GB Hard Drive Security Sector Download (HDDSS. Use the following tutorial: How to hack a 250gb, 320gb or 500gb sata drive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim. May 01, 2016 HDDSS.bin for 1TB hard drive? An internal drive on my Xbox 360. I'm still looking for a 1TB HDDSS.bin. Internal HDD for the 360 will remain a 500 GB one. Mar 3, 2013 - Added support for 320GB and 500GB hard drives (HDDSS.BIN required). D: Dump sector 16-22 from XBOX360 HDD to file. F: Flash Western.
Over the past couple of months, I have been on a quest. This quest has led me to many different locales, and it is still ongoing. Unfortunately, my quest has hit a roadblock of sorts for the moment, but it has not ended.
I will explain more on that in a minute, but for now, I wanted to document the things I have found out thus far. After hours of searching the net for a solution of using a Seagate hard drive in my Xbox, there was not a whole lot of happy news, however I have pieced together many sources, and have been able to change many of the drive’s parameters manually, effectively mirroring the functions of HDDHACKR. This is the main holdup that Seagate drives face. There is no automated way of doing this like there is with a Western Digital Drive. Just for your information, the information in my post is not for the faint of heart, and you probably will kill your hard drive if you are not very careful. I take no responsibility for what you do to your hard drive.
This is in no way a complete tutorial, nor can I guarantee that this will work for you. My hope is that someone will benefit from the information that I have pieced together. Even though I have not completed this project, I believe I have found enough information that someone somewhere will have better luck than I have. It is about 2:00 in the morning as I finish typing this, and I am on my way to bed.
This is a work in progress, so pictures will come at a later date. For now, I am happy with what has been written, and it will suffice for now. Required Materials -Hex Editor (I use HxD. It’s free, and it works quite nicely. WxHexEditor works nicely for our *Nix friends as well. You need one that is able to open a physical disc.) -RS232 to TTL Adapter (Max32 or similar.
You can even use an Arduino if you don’t have anything else). Jumper wires for adapter-Official Xbox 360 HDDSS.bin FROM a Seagate drive (more on this in a minute, but luckily I have found this for you, and will upload it for you.) -External SATA enclosure (Makes it easier to control the power to your hard drive, without having to take apart your computer.) -A SATA Controller that is compatible with HDDHACKR(We will not be flashing the firmware with this, but we will still be creating the partitions. You can do this manually also, but I will not detail that here) -Plenty of time to experiment, and learn how to navigate the Seagate TMOS. I will tell you the commands I used to get as far as I did, but some of these commands vary from drive to drive.
Even the same model numbers with different firmware revisions will have different command sets. BE VERY CAREFUL PLAYING WITH THESE SETTINGS. Take the time to learn what the commands do for yourself. The biggest mistake I made was trying a command that wasn’t made for my drive, and I have effectively bricked it for the moment.
Prikaz o naznachenii glavnogo inzhenera proekta obrazec. -An Understanding of Hex. We will be dealing with hex addresses, and hex offsets. It will be much easier to follow if you understand Hex.
You will mess something up somewhere along the way. I can almost guarantee it. If you are not a patient person, you will just get frustrated then definitely screw something up.
