Can someone write a tutorial for Xbox USB Connectivity Kit? I received my kit and it has several bottons and switches. I don't know what the setting for these bottons and switches should be to flash my drive with the new firmware. I copied the below steps from the tutorial by persei8 but it does not mention the switch stettings. My kit has an "On/Off" switch, "Mode" botton, and an "Eject" botton. There is another small switch at the end of the circuit board that has no identification for it. What should I do whith these switches and bottons when should I switch the switches and press the bottons?
6. Now connect the provided power cord from the xeno or xecuter kit in the back of the 360 drive and the one side of the power kit. Make sure to properly install the plug, if not electrical shock or fire damage is eminent. Now connect the sata cord to one of the ports on the sata card and the other end to the 360 drive. Look at the diagram: http://www.cheapestmods.com/manuals/XODD_en.pdf The other white plug with colored wires is a power cord from inside your computer you should have a few extras that you can unhook, say from near your DVD drive, and then click into the kit.
7. Now that all things are connected push down the debug button located on the kit, when your pc is booted it should turn red, if not try the other one until correct. When rebooting Windows, eject your Xbox 360 tray several times, to eliminate errors and maintain mode b status. Mode b is the secondary status of the Xbox 360 drive and will allow you to properly update your drive?s firmware to play backups. Once your computer has booted up double click on My Computer and check for a new drive, if done properly you should see a new drive with a new letter, right click on that drive. Then click properties, followed by hardware, followed by selecting the new drive. The name should be similar to what is on the label of the Xbox 360 drive. If all steps are passed, then Windows has detected your 360 drive.
8. Now you need to open your OPA v 2.3 folders, click until you come across the XL folder, here is where you will insert a cmd prompt. Right click on the folder and go down to open command window here and a new window will open up and read the current location of you saved OPA folder. If not, simply type cd f:\ this is for a change of directory and f should be replaced by the letter of your personal drive. Next simply type FLASH23S. BAT F 1672, remember F is your personal drive letter, do not assume you have the same amount of drives as I do. Also if any problems occur getting into cmd prompt, just boot your computer using networking. Press F8 when starting your computer, go to boot with networking and then hit enter, cmd prompt is sure to work after this. After typing in the FLASH prompt it should take about 3 minutes to flash your 360, hit the enter key if the flashing process slows down or stops, and finally shut down your computer when prompted on the screen.
Remove all kits and cables and close your computer and hook your drive back into the 360.
Also, you can check out THIS website, that has a bunch of tutorials on Flashing Your 360 Drive.
I'm in the process of Modding my 360, but I don't have SATA on my Computer. I have to wait until my SATA to USB converter comes in, and then I will be in business. PM me if you need any help or anything.
one more thing make sure you have all the connections on the power circuit board inserted correctly and into the back of your drive otherwise you will fry the board
In stead of using hte power circuit board can I use this http://www.amamax.com/duseatapoca1.html to power on my xbox360 DVD drive and use the USB connectivity kit. I am asking for poeople that connected the power connection wrong and fryed thier board.
