Okay hello everyone here at 360 section of afterdawn, I'm not new to to the whole modding scene I have modded my PS2,PSP and Xbox and gamecube. The thing is I wanna get that afterdawn love on help with modding my 360. After long hard thoughts about should I do it or not and reading many diffrent views on flashing, THE GOOD AND BAD. I know flashing may cause you to get banned on Xbox live but hell I never really play on live. I'm to cheap to buy xbox live points so screw the downloadable content. I just like drinking a beer having some friends over and playing my 360. Well after that kinda long and offtopic rant I have some question and info for you guys.

1) According to that drive pic I have a Toshia Samsug drive, My info on it is this Date 08-02-2006, Bought it at Walmat came with a copy of Burnout Revenge inside the box NTSC format and HDMI spot. My question is what drive do I have?

2) What's the best blank media to get? I know I'm a big fan of Maxell DVD-R they never gave me problems with backing up my PS2 games.

3) What do I need to flash my drive?

4) How hard is it to take the xbox apart and putting it back together scale 1-10 10 being the hardest?

5) Is there anyone in the Alton IL area willing to help flash? If not that's cool I can do it with the tuts.

You keep getting struck but dont never strike hoping the beef go away when the feds indite" - Shyne motherf8ckin Po

Raven, ALL of your questions have been answered MANY times on here, try to search other threads first, especially since you are a "member".

You're stuck on the back of the case? Whatever tool you're using to insert in the holes, you have to push really hard. To the point where you think you may break something. And when the tabs pop loose, it'll sound like they broke. But that's normal and they won't break.

how you flash your xbox 360 is ultimately dependent on what type of DVD Drive is in it.

for the most part as long as you don't have the dreaded hitachi 79, you're good to go.

???

Beside it being rude to hijack a thread, use all caps, and use red, what do you need help with? You didn't ask anything. All you said it that you use a 111d to burn with.

But don't answer here... first, use the search box to try and help yourself before you ask others to help you. Then, if you can't find an answer, start a new thread and we'll try and give you a hand.

No mulitposting, caps and hijacking. A link to the rules is in my sig. Read them.

You asked & were answered here:

Basically the answer is YES - all you had to do is make sure the burner is dual layer which just about all are.

What do you need help with Witit?

Update: I have finally got to the drive in my Xbox 360, I have come across that my Drive is Toshibia/Samsug ms28. I will keep people updated til I have finally flashed and played my first back up.

Use the offensive post button instead of posting that.

@witit
You are better off not attempting backups.
Stick with the thread you started or yes you will get a ban.
Do not post back in this thread unless you can add to the solution of the original topic.

I did the f'n research fo you. This is your answer, Yes b/c it has daul layer burning. Below is the feature info for the burner.

- Features

The DVR-111DBK offers writing support for Dual & Double Layer media at 8X speed, along with 16X writing for DVD-R/+R, 6X writing for DVD-RW and 8X writing for DVD+RW.

Now say thank you and get out of my thread.

Some people make the honest mistake of posting questions in a thread which are in no way related to the topic. Everyone's done it at one point or another. But they get corrected and move on.

But obviously witit is one of the few members who simply has no respect for others, as he would want for himself. His type are the ones who want spoon fed information and never help others. So it'll be no loss once he's banned.



Anyhow, back on topic, Raven how far are you along with flashing? Is all going well?

Raven, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP. yours is 475x138 pixels & 4 lines of text
2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.
