How fast is the pc? Also, do you play the audio file once, then play it again but immediately pause it? That's how you unlock it.

It's a button you press in JF. He's not doing it manually. It doesn't matter how fast it is. I've done it on a 400MHz P2. Maybe you should know before telling him...

I had the same problem, but I don't remember how I fixed it. Haha.
You're putting the 79 Unlock CD in the 360 drive, right?
I don't have access to a 79 and a [working] windows computer right now or I'd mess with it and try to help more.

yeah i get it in mode-b with jungle flasher and then when i go to the next step it says to insert the unlock cd into the drive and click unlock 79 and the drive will spin it for a second and then jungle flasher goes to not responding then open back up and when i try to shut it it will open back up 5 sec. later on its own i have no clue what is with this drive it is on stock firmware right now it is the first hitachi i have tried to flash done alot of toshiba's and ben-q's but this is my first hitach

i'm making a video i have it done in few and uploaded to show you how

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 22, 2009, 12:37:55 PM »

When it opens up after putting the disk in, take the disk out and leave it and let JF respond. It takes a while..

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 22, 2009, 01:32:27 PM »

even after jungle flasher spits the cd back out it says reading unlock cd failed and i don't know why its the one linked in the tutorial

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2009, 01:39:45 PM »

What kind of CD is it on? Make sure it's a CD-R for best results. I had that problem but I still can't remember what fixed it...

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:22:51 PM »

t is on a cd-r and someone told me not to use the one from the jungle flasher tutorial on 360mods but i can't find it anywhere else anyone have a link to a working hitachi 79 unlocker cd

this is what i get in jungle flasher anytime i try to run the audio cd

Playing 79Unlock Audio CD
Failed to Play 79Unlock Audio CD

and when i click 79 unlock jungle flasher freezes i have let it sit for 30 mins and it still won't respond till i power the drive off then it comes out almost instantly from not responding anyone have any clue why it is doing this i have i am trying on a vista 32 system have never had a problem doing any other drives and this one is to the point where i'm ready to pull my hair out LOL

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:14:08 PM »

Uhm. I just uploaded mine but either my post got deleted or it never actually posted...
I'll wait till someone tells me I can upload it before I do again.

I remember I used a .PDF to flash my 1st Hitachi 79, and it said you need a P3 system or better... but whatever.

The way i think i stopped it from spittinf the CD out was to keep my thumb on the Disk tray. it would try to eject but i would keep it in there. after 2-3 times it finally read

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:38:13 PM »

but won't holding it shut wreck the gears on the drive????

i am running a
windows vista 32 bit
AMD atholon 64x2 dual cor proccesser 4800+ 3.0 Ghz (yes its overclocked LOL)
4 gigs ram
VIA 6421 chipset to flash 360's
its abeast of a system handles alot and i mean alot plus it is what i use to flash every 360 i have ever done so it should work more than fine with this drive LOL

SN!P3R · « **Reply #12 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:50:58 PM »

the gears will be fine, the teeth are large enough to not snap.

try this:

1. With the drive open, put the 79 unlock disc in
2. Press eject twice to close, then press it once more for it to stay closed and not open.

allowed me to play the 79 unlock disc

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:14:56 PM »

ok the drive will stay closed now with that extra single click but jungle flasher freezes up and goes all Not Reponding with the cd in the drive till i power the drive off i have tried with jungle flasher 1.66 and 1.67 any other windows programs i can try to use on this thing instead of jungle flasher anything that won't make me have to boot into dos or reboot pc to do it LOL

SN!P3R · « **Reply #14 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:20:01 PM »

Play the audio file using windows media player. Wait till it stops, then play again and immediately stop it. Then just dump the info. I've never used jungleflasher, i prefer the DOS tools

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:36:21 PM »

ok but when i put the cd in the drive while its in mode-b and hooked to my pc it dosen't give me a autoplay window and if i go under my computer and select the drive to try and play it there it locks up the pc and won't stop till i power the drive off it shows under the device manager and everything just keeps locking up either jungle flasher or the desktop if i try to open the cd with windows

SN!P3R · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:39:38 PM »

WTF LOL damn. It might not be freezing up, just taking a while to load. Like freeze up, not being able to move the cursor or hourglass of death?

^^ that's the method I used, and I didnt get lock ups

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:45:05 PM »

It locks up. Yeah.
You don't need to play it in WMP.

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:59:40 PM »

the eternal circle of death and like i said the drive just freezes any program that trys to use it as in it says Not Responding going to try that FW-toolbox and see if that does it haven't used it before so cross your fingers for me i'll just stick to using jungle flasher for the easy drives LOL

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2009, 08:11:28 PM »

79 is easy to flash with JF though..

Edit:
I guess I don't need to find mine lol
