This is ripped straight from the firmware toolbox tutorial document. All credit goes to the creators, I simply copy pasted.
How to spoof a Hitachi drive as an samsung drive, or as a different Hitachi model.
- Put your Hitachi drive in ModeB with SLAX or CrossWire Trick (Hitachi 78
and above only support SLAX Method) or Power on with tray open
- Make sure you attach the Drive to the PC with a Native Sata port because
some PCI Sata cards are not supported or even some USB-SATA adapters are
not working well at this moment. Does not harm to try
- Insert a DVD Movie or an XBOX/XBOX 360 game on the Hitachi DVD drive, it
does not matter wich, originals works better.
- Launch Toolbox
- Open the Firmware File you want to spoof (I recommend the final.bin, never
do changes to the original.bin as is the base fw)
- Now go to "Tools->Spoof Firmware",
- Choose the version as you want the fw report. Leave other options as is
- Please note that spoofing a drive as itself has the effect of UNSPOOFING it
- Click "APPLY SPOOF"
- Now the Main Window will show the spoofed details, go to
"Tools->Direct Drive Flash->Flash String ID (SPOOF DATA)"
- Make sure the Hitachi drive u want to flash is selected.
- Press the "Start Flashing" button and after a few seconds the thing is done
you can shutdown everthing and start testing the drive on the console.
