I have an onboard SATA connection and connected my 360 drive to it.
I booted my computer with the slax v2 cd.
After slax was done, my console was in mode B (since I had to press eject twice and also, since the green light was constantly flashing)
when i restarted my computer, when the windows loading bar was loading, I ejected the 360 drive.
once windows loaded I did not see my 360 drive in my computer.
I downloaded the hacked firmware from xbins called "Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_2_Stealth"
This is what was used on the tutorial video for v46 hitachi, however, it was in the old folder in xbins and there were newer firmware. Which firmware should I be using?
I tried to flash the 360 using drive 'F' even tho it probably was not the xbox360.
Anyway, I got the error:
ERROR: Hitachi drive build was NOT detected!
WARNING: One of the THREE things could be wrong!
#1: check to see if your drive is in windows
#2: make sure you are using the right letter
#3: your x360 drive is not a working version
So, I assume it is cuz of #1 which is that windows does not the my xbox. Why would this be? Is the onboard sata not compatable? would I buy a SATA controller?
Also, I have a friend that had an extra one which he said was SATA 1.5 instead of SATA 3.0. Is that OK to use?
Well, I had tried it about 5 times yesterday and just gave it another 2 tries now. To my noob eyes, after a few tweaks in BIOS, but it seems to have worked now. Windows finally found my drive as "H" and it went through the complete flash to say restart computer.
I restarted computer and xbox 360. Now the only thing is that I got ahead of myself on the flashing. The 360 still plays originals fine, but I did not get the stuff make backups yet.
I have been seeing all about the special kreon firmware drives to read the games and the pioneer something DL drive to burn them. I have a plextor px-176a. This is a DL burner. will this work? Do I need more special tools and what would they be? I have looked around for tutorial and maybe I missed it. Is there a link to one out there?
Also, I have been looking online for that Samsung SH-D162C Drive and see some that say SH-D162C/RSWP and other with SH-D162C/BEWE. Anyway, do the /RSWP and /BEWE or any other variation of that matter or would they all work?
sammy dh 182c is the drive you need wiht kreon and a dual layer dvd burner then you cant go wrong the sh162c the other letter am sure they are just the colours it comes in as long as it is sh 162c then thats the one
what firmware did u flash it with post this up as if it is the older ones then dont go on live but you will be able to make working back ups with your sh162c and dual layer dvd drive i stick to pioneer as had no probs
as long as when you flashed it it said 100 percent done swtich off your comp then its done
if you wanna play on live then flash it back with restore and use the latest hitachi firmware form xbins if you used the one you posted earlier then forgot which one that is the iextreme are the latest but you do need the sh d162c to make back ups that will work with it
I have been looking online at a bunch of sites trying to find the sh-d162c and they seem to all be sold out at the moment. Since everything on ebay was $50 or $60 with shipping, I went ahead and purchased one for $20 at some site that was currently out of stock, but they will be sending it when they get more in stock.
Im not a big online player, but I suppose I will flash newest firmware anyway because I may play some. So, do i just go through the same process of mode b, then when windows starts type restore.exe in CMD, then still flash22s h 1245 for the new firmware?
