Hi guys,I'll buy the 360 next week and it'll probably
have the lite-on drive so I want to know what kind of
screwdrivers I'll need to open up the 360 and spoof
the lite-on key and replace it with a Toshiba-Samsung 28 ms drive.
and one more thing I already ordered a Toshiba-Samsung drive and a RS232 TTL Converter Cable and a soldering iron I want to know if there was other tools that I need for the operation and missed.
Originally posted by wabashman: you might as well order an opening kit to open the case up, it will make life easier. and you need a t12 torx screwdriver i do believe.
Oh no thanks i dont want to waste my money on things that are optional and can anyone confirm that its a t12 screwdriver i need? because i remember seeing in a guide that its t10.
and one more thing do I need a via 6421 SATA card
or is there another way that let me flash the 28 ms samsung?
You will only need a T10 screwdriver. You don't *need* to buy the special tools, you can make them from the plastic casing of a cd cakebox (google it). You will only need a SATA card if your on-board SATA isn't compatible with the 360 drive. How do you know whether it's compatible? Try it! Typically if you have a nForce chipset or the like, you should be ok, but I wouldn't waste your money until you test your own on-board SATA (and try all the ports, not just one).
