Xtractor Reader v.2.9 2017-02-07

--------------------------
Maximus - 360 Xtractor Reader 2.9
-------------------------

Whats New on 2.9
- ADDED : Support for the New USB Xtractor Device

- FIXED : Problem with combo box not shown properly on spoof option
- FIXED : Problem with "file must exist" error.

*Note1: This version requires Winford Portio32 drivers, visit our page at
www.maximusgames.net/360xtractor.php on the download section you
will find the driver and Install Guide

*Note2: If you plan to use the USB serial read you need to install USB driver
on www.maximusgames.net/360xtractor.php on the download section you
will find drivers and install guides for it. AND ALSO: THE USB DOES
NOT FEED POWER TO XTRACTOR, YOU NEED PLUG IT TO YOUR PC POWER SOURCE !!

*Note3: Take note Firmware Toolbox 4.8 will not open properly the resultant
file (Benq, Samsung) after spoofing, only hitachi firmwares can be
opened in Toolbox 4.8 for flashing, we are working on a new release
to allow toolbox open without problems, meanwhile Samsung or Benq
generated files can be flashed with mtkflash/dosflash as usual.


WHAT IS IT ?
----------
Graphical tool to allow read keys from Lite On / Benq Drives
It supports USB key dumping if using with an 360 Xtractor Tool
Also contains bonus feature as NO-SLAX ModeB command
Can work with 360 xtractor tool or other (homemade max323) adapters,
even rival tools are welcome


MAIN FEATURES:
---------
- Key reading on Liteon Benq Drives
- key.bin/identify.bin/inquiry.bin file generation
- Allow ORIGINAL / CLONE detection for 360 Xtractor Tool (R.I.P. D.France)
- BONUS FEATURE: Send ModeB command to All Hitachi Drives (even 78/79) NO SLAX REQUIRED


INSTALLATION:
---------------
- Unzip contents on the folder you like, make sure the folder has write permissions
since some small temp files could be generated by application on that folder


HOW TO USE:
------------------
- This application rely on Legacy Mode or IDE-SATA adapter to be able to send/receive
data from the drive, Legacy Mode it could or could not be supported by your PC Bios
once enabled the OS will see sata channels as if where regular IDE channels

- Once you setup Legacy Mode or IDE-SATA adapter you should choose the IDE Port
(Primary Master/Primary Slave or Secundary Master/Secundary Slave) according to the
sata channel you have attached the Drive, you could simply click on "SEND IDENTIFY ATAPI"
button so if you get the Drive response then its the proper channel

- Liteon Drives should be powered on with tray half opened, I would recommend follow this great
tutorial from devils360 http://www.devilsps3.centelia.net/360/?p=7
you also should choose the com port that is used to comunicate with the drive

- To Read liteon Keys just click on "Key Read" Button, keys will be displayed

- To Save Files just click on "Get Key And Files" and files will be generated and you
will be asked for location of the files

- To Put a Hitachi drive in ModeB just click on ModeB button, make sure the attached drive is
a Hitachi, this command will be rejected for other brand of drives, this feature is useful
on Hitachi 78/79 to avoid SLAX booting.

- Dont use this tool to mess with Other (Windows Visible) drives or dvd roms, sending eject/load
commands to windows controlled drives could work but if you disturb windows control over them
horrible things could happen. My advice is keep a channel for the "non-visible" drives it could
be Primary or the Master, and leave the other for Windows controlled drives

CHANGE LOG
----------
v2.8
- ADDED : Dumping of Liteon Optical and DVD mainboard serials (it saves
as serial.bin) Big thanks to Geremia for the info.

- ADDED : Creation of dummy.bin wich basically is a compilation of all the other files
That way the dump is fully compatible with latest jungleflasher

- ADDED : Added option for creating the missing serial.bin and dummy.bin. You must enter
those values, you can find that option under the "Prepare Spoofed Firmware"
button, give it a try it has help links on it.

V2.7
- ADDED : Detect button for COM ports so it can locate easier the
Virtual com port that windows assigned to the xtractor (if
using xtractor usb conection).
- FIXED : Inquiry data returned zero on some sata cards.

V2.6
- ADDED : Support for Spear the New 360 Xtractor Add on.
- ADDED : Timer button, this allow you keep your hands free to handle
the spear while reading.
- CHANGED: Now just 1 button to search and scan sata ports for drives
that way is easier for noobs.
- FIXED : Compatible now with all Liteon Drives

V2.5
- ADDED: Added support for VAD6039 (weird units around) and also
First benq drives wich have different inquiry string
- ADDED: Now the Open button on Output file defaults to the previous
dumped files folder, that will save you a few seconds more
- FIXED: File to Floppy was not being saved when file dont exist
thanks to Armando for pointing it.
- IMPROVED: Key Read time improved (at least on some sata controllers)


V2.4
- ADDED: To end once for all with the (FAKE?) rumour of the application
giving bad keys when a pattern of bytes is present on the key
we have increased to 7 the validation checks on it. If you got
8320 at the end of your key is because that are part of the key,
and nothing wrong with it.
Also if you have a buffer overrun the application it will indicate it
so you can know something is wrong with your hardware (the max232
device u are using to read).

- ADDED: Support for some Intel chipsets not being detected properly
on scan ports routine. In the future if you cant see your
card at Valid Ports then give us an email and we will add your
card to definition lists (we are covering all on what we have
tested previous to the release).

- ADDED: The Base file on Spoof window will now remember last 4
entries to help you save even more time.

V 2.3

- Whole Redesign, now it looks like the perfect companion for
360 Xtractor hardware.
- ADDED: Support for Native (no need for Legacy Mode anymore)
- ADDED: Direct Sata Port Detection (no need to mess with addressing)
- ADDED: Improved code for fast reading
- ADDED: Quick addons that simplify the process since key read till get
a spoof firmware
B.10
- FIXED : Bug that caused some Samsung firmwares not being properly
detected
thanks to Jason B for pointing it.

B.9
- FIXED : Bug that avoids using the tool for Hitachis
And yes I give thanks to Podger for pointing the bug, what we
would do without him bashing us on the forums for every bug

NOT NEED TO RE-FLASH YOUR HITACHI, DONT WORRY NOBODY HAS USED
THIS TOOL FOR SPOOFING ON HITACHIS BEFORE SO I ASSUME NO
COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS BUG AFFECTING SOMEBODY.
Now from b.09 you can use it on your Hitachi drives as target

B.8
- FIXED : Bug on ATA Spoofing on Benq Target drives
If your target drive is a Hitachi or Samsung dont worry about this bug
If your target drive is a benq you can simply redo the "Prepare Spoofed Firmware"
with this 0.8 version and then re-flash your target benq drive.

B.7
- FIXED : Bug on Benq Locating key when using a benq file as source

B.6
- FIXED : Bug on output file generation, now it generates proper size
