i need a little help with flashing a xbox 360,the drive is a 79FL i can get it to mode "B" so its shows in windows,the drive will have the open all the time when closed unless i either push the close button once then push it closed or hit close 3 times whiles actually closing, so i know its in "B" mode,i can then get it to unlock with the 79 unlocker ready for flashing,but then the drive will lock up and there is nothing i can do i cant even eject the cd/dvd tray windows will more or less lock up and wont do a thing for any program related to flashing the drive until i shut down the 360 then everything will open as normal

oh and when using slax 2.1 where it says its spinning the drive up it says drive is unresponsive ( or sumthin along those lines )trying again in 5 secs then it says the same thing again and another 5 sec wait,then it will continue in the normal way when i get into windows the drive is there ( there is an original dvd movie in there as per-instructions from a tutorial i was told about on these very forums )this is only the 3rd 79 drive i have tried to unlock the other 2 took me 15mins i spend 4 hours trying to get this to work,ive tested the drive with original games and it loads them no problems,im clueless HELP!!!! plz

i can get the 79 drive to show in windows see pic below




as you can see its clearly there, i can then dump the firmware and then it will ask me if i want to check it

see below pic




it will then ask me if i wish to do a checksum on the file i click yes and get the message as below




i click yes,then i get this message




then when i go to tools/smart hack patcher i either get this message




or most of the time i get this message that the file does not exist




which of course the orig.bin does exist as it just checked it



any idea's?

thnx in advance

Start over, from the start. And make a new dump of the drives orginal firmware. And then try and patch again.

Doesn't Toolbox require netframework to be installed? I think so, but I may be wrong.

Anyhow, do you have it installed?

It's got to be something simple, but it looks like there's no one who has read this thread who's run in to the same problem.

I'd say jump over to xboxhacker.net. That's where Maximus hangs out. But be warned... do an extensive search before you just start posting there. They can be pretty tough on newbies.

Sorry we didn't have the answer here.

the problem seemed to be a corrupted file in all the version of firmware tool i had as i downloaded version 4.8 again and connected the 360 to the internet and updated to the nxe update,which funny enough installed without a harddrive being in place which i did not know,once i done both of these it flashed 1st time no problems
