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:
- Remove XBOX 360 front Faceplate
- See which colour the wires are in the hole under the DVD Tray
- Yellow wires: you have lite-on DVD drive
- White wires: you have BENQ drive
You can also search on [XBOX 360 DVD Drive Database] for more information.
