How comes it won't play the backup?

If you'll excuse a noob's question....

After following the procedure, etc, where it won't load but it will be "recognized as a game"

Does this mean that after doing all the steps, I will in fact have a hacked/modded 360, and that the only reason backups won't work is because I now have to step to the part/tuts about making correct/patched backup discs? (and if I manage to get one of these discs or images  from wherever, they would work fine?)

thanx!!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Is this tutorial valid as of Nov 28?

Yep, should do

As to the validity, it's old, but it will still work. although obviously you may want a newer firmware also it doesn't take into account newer / different drive models.

Ok, let's see... I've been doing some more reading, and this is what I've gathered so far as being correct (please correct me if it's not):

1 - Flashing my drive with the correct firmware (replacing the key, etc.,etc.) I would in fact be having a "modded" x-box 360, that is capable of playing backups  IF I have a correctly made backup disc. So providing I could somehow get these, no other steps would be necessary.

2 - If I wanted to make my own backups, I would have to reflash with a different firmware, make the image, do the necessary modifications, etc. and burn back the image, having a backup disc that would work on an x-box that has had item 1 done on it (I also would have to flash-back my drive to restore it to previous mode).

Is that it?  If so, since you speak of newer firmwares, what's the best/latest/more popular to use?

And a last one, about drive models, I had seen there is the Toshiba/Samsung and 2 models of Hitachi, and all 3 can be flashed, but I also heard of a philips drive... is this one not yet possible to hack? How can I tell what drive I would get buying a new system?  (If I can tell at all...).

Thanx!!!

Done that but it is saying the same and does not back any firmware up.

Does this method work for copying a BenQ key to a Hitachi drive?

[xchrizzlex]

can i apply this to install a replacement dvd drive?
