Why you need to extract the key?

The newer XBOX 360 comes with lite-on DVD drive. It is impossible do dump the firmware from these lite-on DVD drives. However, a new method was developed so you can at least extract the DVD key / identification from these lite-ons. You can then use the key/identification to spoof iXtreme and flash the spoofed iXtreme to a SAMSUNG/LG/BENQ or even the original Lite-on (after Dec 24/2008).

Lite-On DG16D2S

This drive started to appear in machines manufactured after 20th April 2008 (2008-04-20).

Here is how to figure out whether you have a lite-on or not:

1. Remove XBOX 360 front Faceplate
2. See which colour the wires are in the hole under the DVD Tray
3. Yellow wires: you have lite-on DVD drive
4. White wires: you have BENQ drive

You can also search on [[1]] for more information.

How it works

Basically, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Disassemble XBOX 360 (Remove Lite-on DVD drive from XBOX 360)
2. Remove Lite-on DVD back cover
3. Extract DVD key and identification strings
4. Prepare spoofed iXtreme firmware
5. Flash the spoofed firmware to a BENQ/SAMSUNG/LG or original Lite-on

OK. Let's get started!
