KaosEngineer Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 18 hours ago, Dtomcat18 said: You'd need to see what the current security level is. HIGH or MAXIMUM. IIRC, the command-line tool, smartctl.exe, that comes with XboxHDM23USB Beta 2, 3 or 4 will tell you when you check the current lock status. And, Beta 3 and 4 have a menu option to check the lock status of the hard drive that Beta 2 does not have. When HIGH, either the MASTER or USER password can be used to unlock the hard drive; however, when MAXIMUM only the USER password will work. The USER password is computed cryptographically using the HDDKey, hard drive model and serial number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that mod or repair OGs… please look into pinecone to catalog content Doing part lol Thank you for your hard work, time, effort and money you put into this. I know it was a lot of work, and I greatly appreciate it I'm sorry if it seemed like we were gatekeeping, that's not the intention. All methods we're now using for gathering user keys and unlocking HDDs will be public soon. The original author has to do some writeups, take some screenshots and pass it over to us to get onto Consolemods. I can't promise it will be quick, but we'll get make everything public to help anyone looking to unlock an old drive, or even softmod without a game (when Eaton is able to add User Key re-locking into FatXplorer). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoTeamScotch Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Figured if you were willing to spend actual money on drives on ebay, maybe you could offer this guy shipping fees covered for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtomcat Posted December 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Had 19 WD drives sent to me… so purchased an old computer (Seagate trick doesn’t work on WD drives). I was able to get all the passwords next step… grab all the data 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtomcat Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Final was 13/63 seagate drives with content…6/20 WDs… and 10.3GB of data to look at further 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) There is a seller on UK eBay selling 20 drives for £30. Am waiting for info as to whether he has wiped the drives or not (he says they are all unlocked so it is likely he has). If he hasn't I may grab them and see if I can contribute to the DLC preservation. Edited December 26, 2023 by nikeymikey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtomcat Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Awesome!!! Seagates only require serial and terminal to get password (if they’re locked). WDs require a PC with IDE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love to get access to these drives, the only person we have in SoCal is Modzville and he is unable to pick them up. I just hope someone is able to convince them to dump the drives themselves or get them to someone who's willing to do the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
