Sorry for the NOOB question, have had a good read through plenty of threads and I just wanted to check I have my info right.
I want to update the firmware on my 360's sammy dvd drive. It has been flashed before but not by me, I purchased it preflashed.
I have purchased a via sata card of ebay as the drive was not recognised by my sata motherboard.
I have also got team x's connectivity kit v2.
Obtained couple of different flashing utilities, jungle flasher and a usb boot version. I want to put ixteme 1.6 on for 3rd wave games.
My questions is can I just extract the key from the dvd drive and then use the current firmware(rememeber it is flashed) and flash the new firmware. Or do I need to obtain the original firmware from somewhere.
Thanks for any help.
Jungleflasher is your best bet, just follow the tutorial for Samsung its very straight forward.
You will first dump the drive to get your key and drive information, then that will be patched into your iextreme.
If your drive is presently working then it contains all the information you will need,
Get Jungle Flasher up and running (PortIO installed + .Net framework 2.0 and up).
Once drive is detected under drive properties:
Under MTKFlash tab, select proper SATA port and click Intro/Device ID.
JF will prompt you, click OK, then power cycle the drive (shut it off and turn it back on within 1 second).
Should get good flash properties (0x70 status).
Click READ.
JF will ask you to autoload firmware (make sure you have ix1.6 in firmware folder of JF).
JF will autospoof for you.
Click WRITE under MTKFlash tab.
Thanks for your help.
I have followed your instructions.
Jungleflasher told me I had a good flash.
My old back ups work as they did before but HAWX still says it needs an update.
I am going to borrow a friends wave 3 game to see if that works but I do not think it will. Has anyone got any ideas?
HI
thank you for all of your help, I looked at the last post and applied the update on the HAWX disc, and it appears to have update the dash which has allowed it to play.
Thanks again
