Ok, I have a Samsung ms28 360 Drive and I have looked at many tutorials, but none of them have really helped my problem. People tell me I need a VIA CHIPSET, and some say I just need DOSFLASH. Now I did the whole XBINS/XBOOTER, but when I try to make my Western Digital External HD bootable, the option to make format and make bootable never lights up.
Here are my specs for my laptop-

For my pc, things are about the same. I still have IDE ATA Storage controllers. Would these work in flashing my 360 because on my PC when I open my motherboard I have like 6 SATA ports.
I've watched plenty of yotube videos but everything is outdated and when I look at guides, they don't explain everything in full detail.
For instance, My PC would not boot from my WD External HD, but Im assuming its becuase I wasnt able to format it and make it bootable.
So where do I go from here? I have no problem going to get the VIA Chipset if needed, but when I see threads a saying I only need DOSFLASH I get kinda confused.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked thousands of times, but I have not been able to find an up to date answer for any of this.
you need via, i am sure someone around here has a link, i dont atm. you need to boot from a flash drive. i am not sure why you are trying to boot from an external HD. the whole thing would have to be formatted for it to even work. i am assuming you are tying to use iprep. you really need a guide, if no one posts one i can get you one tomorow.
EDIT:
This is supposed to be for flashing in windows. I have not tried this yet so I cannont confirm. I prefer to stick with what works.
I also have Samsung MS28 that I just flashed via JungleFlasher.
Worked perfectly. No DOS required.
This is how my flash went.
PC Details:
OS: Vista Home w/SP1 (32bit)
CPU: AMD Opteron 170
MB: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Chip Set: Nforce 4
11. JungleFlasher should automatically load your Original FW into the Firmware Tool 32 tab. If not click (Load FW Image) and locate your Source FW (Sam-OFW.bin) and it will load in your key.
12. Then click (Open Target FW) select (ix15-sam.bin)
13. Now you have 2 choices:
13a. Either switch over to the MTKFlash32 tab and click Write and you're done.
13b. Or you can create a hacked version of (ix15-sam.bin) that has your drive key added to the (.bin) file by clicking (Spoof Source to Target)<in the Firmware Tool 32 tab> and saving your FW named anything your want. Then follow directions from 13a.
If everything goes right you should be able to Read-Spoof-Flash in less than 5 minutes including Verification.
