I've searched and searched, and troubleshot the below issue for many hours, and I am finally at my wits end. Anyone if you can, please help me out.
Xbox 360 Pro - Lite On Drive (DG-16D2s)
Modded via ck3 tool with ixtreme 1.6
I've modded 2 successful Lite-on's and a hand full of samsung drives.
The best I can tell is after the Mod, the Xbox will not write data. If I power it on with the hard drive attached, the 360 will hang and default to an e 68 error. I've tried three different Hard drives with no luck. Unit boots fine without hard drive attached.
I purchased a memory card, and the 360 boots writes data and creates profiles. As soon as I power down the the 360, and restart, all data is removed from the card like it was never there (profiles, saved games = all gone) I'm also unable to perform updates.
I have the case open, and I've checked physicals, blown caps, or anything out of the ordinary, but nothing. I have also did a reset of the 360 via disconnecting the fan, and still nothing.
Sorry this is so long, but like I said, I've been busy trying figure this out on my own. If any one has any ideas or suggestions, throw them at me I'm willing to try just about anything.

I guess you could try restoring the drive to stock firmware and seeing if it still happens, but I doubt the firmware is anything more than coincidence.
What happens if you completely disconnect the drive and boot up the 360?
Sounds to me like it is a problem with internal connections and a reflow could help. However, I am not experienced with this type of error, so that is just speculation.

If the drive(s) are disconnected, the 360 powers up and runs like a charm. Other than the fact I cannot save or create a profile, the 360 runs like it should. I've thought about re-flashing, but I too believe it to be coincidence, but If need be I will flash back to stock, anything to get it to work.
What do you mean by a reflow??
Thanks

It sounds more like a hard drive error than anything else. It won't be your flashed DVD drive. Have you tried with another hard drive? Or with a memory card?
If there was a need for a reflow, it wouldn't find the hard drive in the first place.
Try searching, its fun.

In the post he says he has tried 3 different hard drives, which is why I am led to believe that it is a problem with the internals.
A reflow is basically superheating your 360 in order to fix any damaged solder connections on the board. It is used most often with the E74 and RROD errors. This error sounds awfully similar to me as well.
Reminds me of the ethernet error, where the 360 says it is a problem with the ethernet, when in reality the ethernet port is just where the internal damage happens to be.

Ok I did some reading and thank you guys for your posts. It looks like my two options are a reflow or a flash back to stock firmware. I have nothing to loose, so which option should I go with, any suggestions...

I would choose the option to open the Xbox 360 and to verify if
every port, cables are properly connected. futher it is benificial to pay close attention on whether the hard-drive is making a clicking sound when attached on top of the console ..

Obviously a flash back to stock would be the easier solution, if it worked. It probably won't, but try it first anyway.
After that you can try for a reflow. MS will do the reflow for you if you purposely cause an E74 or RROD error in your console and send it back to them. You just have to make the 360 look presentable.
If you want to reflow yourself, that is definitely an option, but you will need to read up on it yourself since it is a delicate process.

I think it is wiser to cancel the re-flash, since the OP already
has flashed his optical drive and this has to do with the hard-drive ..

I don't want to doubt your knowledge, however this is clearly uncertain.

this can be detected as a attempt to fraud.

Instead of shitting on every point I make, why not bother making one yourself?

+1, since you seem to know everything and shutdown everyone elses posts, where's your contribution to the thread dred?
OP,
try the reflash first as it takes very little time, make sure the dvdkey is correct. (not FFFFFF)
are you using official xbox 360 hd's are just the hacked ones?
see if you can save to something (such as a memory card)
if all else fails and it's still under warranty, induce the RROD.. although it could be considered "fraud" how is ms going to know (ask dred, he knows everything)

Another easy trouble-shooting step to try, which probably won't solve the problem, but is a good step to take anyway ---> Clear the system cache and all internally stored data on your 360. I don't know the step-by-step way of doing this off of the top of my head, but it is very public knowledge.
I also saw lots of 'temporary' fixes to your error on YouTube. I can't vouch for any of those methods, but it wouldn't hurt to try...hopefully.
