Maximus Firmware Toolbox v4.0

Here’s the latest Maximus Firmware Toolbox with support for Hitachi-LG 78/79 (and upper) variants. Essentially it’s Commodore4Eva’s iXtreme firmware ported to work with the DVD-ROM models mentioned in the previous sentence.

See ‘readme.txt’ for special notes on flashing Hitachi 79FK drives and additional release notes.

What is it?!

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 not 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

4.00 changes:

* Added: Smart Hack Patcher now implements ixtreme 1.2 (thanks to c4e)
* Added: Now Supports 100% BENQ Firmwares (spoof, key changing, etc)
* Added: Option to Restore Original Firmwares based on any dump you have
* Corrected: Several other bugs
* Added: OCX’s included on the release (there are available on Microsoft site anyway)
