worst risk is bricking the drive before you receive a valid key, rendering your xbox360 completely useless, as a replacement drive may not help you at that point.

worst mistake is not reading the tut that comes with jungle flasher.

even worst risk is bricking the drive before you receive a valid key, rendering your xbox360 completely useless, then spilling a bud-light onto your power supply that is connected to a 50 amp circuit breaker that your crossed eyed cousin Willy wired in, which prevents the beer covered shorting power supply from tripping which causes a fire and then burns your house down which ruins the rest of the bud- light in the refridgerator. Then you will have to buy more beer and thats when you get in a car wreck with city bus and ruin your car and break your leg and while in the ambulance the E.M.T. makes homosexual passes at you but you refuse cuz you are hetero and your leg is falling off and you are bleeding from the ears. Then when you get to hospital the I.R.S. shows up and says your tax returns for the last sixteen years are being audited. SO BE CAREFUL FLASHING YOUR DRIVE.

Well, it depends on the drive, but honestly, it's pretty hard to brick a drive. If you just follow the tutorial that goes with jungleflasher, then you'll be fine. It's really straight forward and easy to follow

need jtag help? Xbox 360 console repair? PM me or chat

here is the link for JF & the firmware. 2nd post from the top
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/11/753649

Read the guide for JF over & over until you completely understand the steps.
I read guides & posts from many smart people for a week before I flashed my drive

Things you must know before you start .
What brand of drive is it?
Has it been flashed before?

It,s only imposable if you give up

Here,s a link to a video to take apart your box.

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/737827

The guide to JF is in the app , after you start JF the first screen on the bottem right saids guide.
download the PDF.

Read it & then read it again.
As with flashing a benq , I,m sorry I,v never done one before.
read the guide before you pull your box apart to see if your up to it.
