So there is finally a hack for Hitachi v79 Drives using the Hitachi v79 unlock tool.
Here’s how:
- 1. Unrar the file
- 2. Burn the CD Image, I used ImgBurn….
- 3. Put 79 in Mode B
- 3. Insert the CD in the 79 and play the track, wait for it to finish…
- 4. Then press play again and straight away pause it, you should hear some noise
- 5. Eject the disk, using the eject button not the PC ( it does something different)
- 6. Run the the command in a command window 79Unlock h// where h is the drive letter of the 79
- 7. If all went well bit 4 of (0×5BD) should be set and the drive should be unlocked
- 8. Drive will dump and flash with Toolbox…
- 9. This is a tempory unlock, (0×5BD) is in RAM and would need to be done each time you power the drive, although I’ve posted how to by pass this with the drive unlocked with a passkey…..
- 10. Has not been extensively tested but worked on 6 drives to date.
