2006-11-01 | Fall update - E66 Error after reboot...

Gamers with modified Toshiba-Samsung drives (MS28 and MS25) getting Error 66 after the Fall Update.
Read on for more info...

[QUOTE]

It looks like some people get an E66 (hardware failure) when trying to reboot their console after the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update. So far it does not look like it's something MS did on purpose to stop modified DVD firmwares as it only happens with some specific configurations, they do NOT ban the console/gamertag from LIVE and it's easy to solve. It's probably a compatibility issue between the new Xbox360 OS/kernel build and some combinations of DVD drives and modified firmwares.

From our data (see this thread and this thread) it looks like it only happens on some Xbox360 consoles with a combination of a Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943 DVD drive (mostly MS28, but we get reports of problems with some MS25 aswell) and some hacked firmwares (below v4.1 on MS28?, MS25 seems to work with older 3.x FWs and manually patched (key) v4.x).
As far as we know consoles with Hitachi-LG drives seem totally unaffected (any version, any FW) and all works fine after the update.

So this is easy to solve, just reflash your Toshiba-Samsung drive with the original FW (100% working solution - we suggest you this until we get all details) or upgrade to C4E's latest TS FW (v4.2 (manual key patch might be required for MS25 ... some MS25 users reported that downgrading to v3.3 or lower helped for them)).

** Just thought id post it to see if anyone saw this**
