Hey ICE - question for you. My kids just broke my XBox this past weekend and I think the drive is still intact (spins with power) - However the XBox is dead and wont boot. I bought another XBox and well the old drive was locked since the play XBL. So I am reading this tut and it looks like I am in the same boat. If I go through these steps and unlock it will I lose my data? If so then why not just put the drive in your PC and format it anyway? Or is it because you locked it your PC cant format it either. Please tell me I am not going to be SOL.

how broken is your xbox?..

you can have ago at unlocking it above but seeing some of the reports i doubt it will work...

You will not lose any of the data on it tho..

But...

if your in the uk you can send me the eeprom off the board and i will be able to get the key for you (if it is still intact!!)

Its bad - motherboard is crack - just the eprom and of course there is a chip out of it so I am sure its damaged. So is there anyway to unlock this drive then put it in the new box? I saw you said that some of the retail drive have issues but this is an WD 200G one. Those are iffy too?

[iceuk]

give it a try.. i have unlocked all non retail drives ok!!

you should not lose any data

I will make a boot cd and do some tricky tricky stuff.

Hey ICE I am having some issues. I wont get into it all. My quick question is since I know that I locked it with Config Magic is the password Team Assembly? If so can I just enter that into their new Live program and unlock it without doing all the other stuff?

Tried this method with a Seagate xbox drive.  No luck, got guestimated password from live info, HDUnlock said done, HDDisable said Device not ready.

No good for seagate.

. i suggest getting it even if u gues get ur fixed. its just not worth risking the hardware, lol. but then again, if those ppl can make a new prog it would b pretty usefull.

Trying to unlock samsung 160GB, did not get any errors..but when i do everything (hdunlock, hddisable)..and boot to windows my pc shows the HD in the disk drives list but its not listed in disk management so i can format..furthermore LiveInfo still says its Enabled, Locked

Using this method I have unlocked a non-retail drive, when I had locked it with avalaunch's old (bogus) hard drive locking utility.
However, other people I tell this method to say that it doesn't work... I don't know if it's only non-retail drives or what.
It seems like the best one can do is brute-force the password, but that would take a while.
