I tried to update my firmware from 4.2 to 5.3 but I keep getting an error. I am not using a 0800 disk or a bad flash method. What are they for and are they necessary for this situation? What is the problem here?
All my IDE channels are disconnected. My 360 was on and my SATA wire was connected. I have tried 14 times and no success. Please help

The error: "fail to open input file"
I have an ms25 with 4.2 firmware.
I have VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller (8237?)
I used xtreme boot maker (old and new version, tried both). I also tried the original method but I still got the same exact error.

I will attempt to use the 10 second method.
How would i go on doing it using the original method after typing
mtkflash w /m x53a.bin.bin

then what? or do I type mtkflash w /m /sata x53a.bin.bin

This floppy contains mdos boot files, mtkflash, and x53a.

thank you for helpin me out

Yeah, after you make your firmware with the make xtreme firmware command from your orig.bin then copy that file to the bootdisk.

Then it's
mtkflash w /m /sata x53x.bin (whatever it's named)
You'll see Xtreme primary
Turn the 360 off
Select Xtreme primary
count to 10 and turn the 360 on.
