I have been trying to flash my Toshiba-Samsung (TS-943A) MS-25 and have ran into a bit of a problem.
When I first attempted to try this I used the USB method. My bios did not enable booting from USB so I instead decided to go with the NTFS DOS cd method.
Before I go any further, I have already executed IPREP and wrote the firmware (in my case: xtreme 1.2 rev c. fast) to the folder it creates in my C: drive. I burned the NTFS image to a cd and set my computer to boot up to my drive with the disc inserted. I disconnect all my other drives except for my C: drive which has the IPREP folder in it. I take the SATA cable I need to connect to the 360 drive and wait for further instruction.
Everything goes well after that, I change the directory to [cd IPREP] and get to the next prompt. "The Hacking The Xbox 360 For Noobs" guide says to connect the SATA cable to your 360 drive at that point but nowhere before that says to turn your system on. Only after iDumping the firmware does it say to power-cycle the 360. This confuses me as after typing in the iDump command (iDump xxxxxxx xxxxx) it brings me to another line which lists 1. IDE Pri Master and 2. ICH6P Pri Master. The guide says to select an item on the list named XTREME? Is there any part of the process I am missing here?
If this helps any if selecting 1, it says "status 72, should be 70; ERR user break; extreme.bin => Backups\xxxxxx\xxxxx\hacked.bin
I looked all around at other guides some used xtreme boot maker, or used different commands such as samhack which confused the hell out of me. Another thing that didn't help was that the video guide uses the USB method. At what time do I turn on my 360 in the NTFS method?
Thanks,
- Steven

I'm having a very similar problem! When I select the extreme port... it just waits.. then when I push exit I get "status 51 should be 70". I couldn't get any farther... let me know if you get some help! Sorry I can't help...

@ Mrstevo
it sounds like your drive is not being detected. What sata chipset do you have? is it a via 6421? once the cd boots and you get to dos then you should plug in the sata cable into the 360 that has already been powered on. then when you get to the drive selectin part it should list your xtreme drive.
@360 noob
did you try the 10 second trick? sounds like tat your problem. Just before you select your xtreme drive turn off your console and select it, wait ten seconds then turn the console back on and it should start to flash.

Well first I tried turning on the 360 with the SATA already plugged in but that didn't work. Next I turned the 360 and when I got to the IPREP directory I plugged the sata in. This worked as XTREME showed up on the list after typing in the dump command. Next it went through 100% a few times dumping the firmware and it said complete. It then told me to reboot my pc. (The guide goes through without having to do that)
I did this and brought myself back into the IPREP directory. I then tried going right into samtool because nothing was bringing me there and got an error message: "You did not satisfy the required parameters." So I tried iDumping again and it told me I already have a backup for xxxxxxx xxxxx (serial number) followed by a line stating ABORTING.

Well I finally got it working and flashed it correctly.
I went to CMD -> Samtool orig.bin hacked.bin
Took a risk and went to go flash the drive and it worked.
I was just stuck on getting in samtool with my firmware.

Is this the first time flashing or are you upgrading from xtreme?
you are correct in choosing xtreme pri master, mine never gets stuck as i always use the ten second trick so i am not sure why yours is not working, hopefully someone else will be able to shed some light on the problem.
you could always try and use the enable 0800 disk (only if upgrading from xtreme. no need for this disk if your console is standard at the moment) That stops you having to try the 10 second trick.
