Excellent tutorial, thanks!!

I revived a 360 this weekend which had a missing DVD-key. It had been sitting around for a while and has a pre-NXE dash. I think I'll keep it around for the good things to come!

Hey RRODxbox,
First I'd like to say thanks for all the work on this. I've had a 360 with bricked dvd drive for a while now. I understand all the physical work, no problem. However, I've never flashed a drive on anything. I've read all the pages of info on this post and the LPT diagram one, but there are too many different tools being used for the same purpose for me to follow.
All I want to do is Figure out what my original key was for my drive, get a new drive and put the OEM firmware and key on it.
My understanding is that I hook up my wires: JTAG and LPT Nand. My 360 drive stays connected to 360. I have VGA cable for 360 hooked up. I have Nandpro on my PC. Do I boot the 360 and PC at same time? then I take picture of "fuses" or the Read. How do I find the dvd key? Sorry I know it's first post and all, if you could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful. Thanks

I've got Region: Unk 0201. What does that mean?

Sorry for the long reply, havent been around much..

You dont need to turn the 360 on, just powered by a PSU

You dump your NAND.bin then flash Xell to your 360 to get the CPU keys

After getting a succesful dump you load your NAND.bin in flashtool inserting your CPU key you saw in Xell. then is simply displays it as shown in my pic on the 1st page

You then flash your NAND.bin back to the 360 and flash the key you found back to the drive and all should be well

One quick question, I have a xenon board with 7371, will this work with NXE?
So far this is the only tutorial I have found that says 7371 and the rest say lower than taht?
Just want to know.

Thanks

RRODXbox · « **Reply #36 on:** October 05, 2009, 03:47:00 PM »

Any Dasboard version up to and including 7371 is compatible with the retrieval method

can i also use infectus programmer

to program the nand i have already install infectus to write nand en dump

thx

Dude, you're my hero!

I did have to remove the resistors from my lpt cable to get it to work, though. Using "fc/b", my nand dumps seem to have a lot of differences, but I did manage to make 2 without any errors in the reading process.

My cable is about 3' (which is just long enough to sit the xbox on top of the pc and reach the lpt port), and I did use a switching diode. The box is flashed back to the orig nand, so seems to be fine, but either my dumping isn't consistent for some reason, or fc/b is an inefficient way to compare dumps.

Another box I tried hooking up to read suddenly turns my power brick red when I plug it in; no idea why, as before I started hooking it up, it didn't have a problem....

First off i just want to thank everyone who worked on this project. Im new to the xbox 360 scene as well as this is my first forum post. I mixed up dvd drives a while back and stole a few parts out of the wrong one and figured i was screwed for life, until i read this forum. i understand most of it what im not sure about though is once you solder everything up it says after flashing the nand. how do you flash the nand? do you hook up the serial port to the computer and run somthing? any helpful responses would be appreciated.

TLommy87 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:37:00 PM »

ok to update my situation, i just checked my kernal version and i have one of the 84XX versions. i have a feeling im shit out of luck for a while? so my question now would be is there anyway to downgrane from my version, or will i just have to wait until some sort of downgrade hack out. once again appreciate all the work you all have done here and i look forward to your responses....

RRODXbox,

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I was able to recover a lost key on an old xenon console as well.

You rock!

Thanks for the tip Mhawk!!!

I didn't have any probs grabbing a picture quickly but will help those who arent so quick.

Hey RRodbox.. i'm new to this site and i thought i'd ask u wats going wrong with my xbox. i've lost my dvd key and i wanted to recover it so i did your method. and wen i tried to flash the nand with da hack.bin to boot xell the xbox turns on and after about 20 secs gives me RROD with error code 0022. i then flashed back the backed up bin file to see if the box will boot properly but then nothing happens as in the xbox doesn't respond at all. doesnt even switch on and i flash the hack.bin it switches on but gives RROD. when i backed up the nand.bin they both were read without any errors. please help me. this is my console and i cant afford another one. please man.

Thanks for the tutorial, i had to remove the 100ohm resistors for mine to "try" and read anything, but when it does try and read I'm getting error after error, with no dump, any pointers?
Its left me with a 182kb file under the nand name but i didnt let it go all the way through because of all the errors, the flash id was 120000 so i guess i may possibly need the diode in there, does it go between J1D2 4 and R2D8 or am i reading the diagram wrong?

all the 330 resistors are still in there just the 100's taken out.

All the best

Stu

Update on my last, the diode seems to be taking it to the right flash id, will report back when i have a good dump (no not that kind of dump lol

)
