same problem here any hel is appreciated.

[BigSteel]

Attach the SATA cable to your PC AFTER the dos prompt is available.

[torkeh]

my settings are at default and i try to attach the cord afterwards and i get nothing but no drive detected once i get into the mtkflash in dos and i type mtkflashvia r /m /sata orig.bin    I get no drive detected as i said b4 any help is appreciated

[docstrange]

im almost sure that the mtkflash executable and the .typ file have to have the same prefix.  for instance, i downloaded mtkflashvia.exe and mtkflash.typ and renamed via to mtkflash.exe and following the regular instructions it worked after that.  try renaming the mtkflashvia.exe.

[torkeh]

Okay i dont remember getting a mtkflash.typ file... uhm lemme boot back into windows on my other pc and see what is going on here lol still any info is much appreciated and thanks for the quick replys

[docstrange]

i know for sure u need the the .typ file, hit me back if you cant find it and ill email it to you.

[torkeh]

if you could send that to [email protected] i would greatly appreciate it i cant find the hex edited one or anything anywhere on the forums here. thanks.

You also need an MTKFlash that is specific to your Sata Pci card.

[torkeh]

yes thats the one i need please send it, i need the 6421l and i have the sy-via-150r card from creative i/o  im pretty sure i need that one thanks.

[docstrange]

sent, let me know if it works for you now, remember to follow the instructions as normal, also do you have a ms25 or 28 if so you need to follow firmware specific guides.

[torkeh]

worked thanks so much and what do you mean by the ms 25 or 28 ? eleborate a little bit?

[docstrange]

if it works dont worry about it.  obviously you have a ms25 which is the most common firmware as of now, but some boxs are comn with ms28 and they dont respond so well to mtkflash and you have to use the two wire trick or bad flash recovery method, but all of this is not important if it has detected your card.

[docstrange]

to write back to the rom, mtkflash w /m /sata (whatever u named the modified firm).bin  
did u hex edit, the original from 4000 to 4400.  and copy your key and all.  make sure ur using a guide form xboxscene.

Just wanted to say thanks to docstrange for being a helper, we always need more of these kinds of members.

Torkeh, don't let hex-editing the drive key scare you.  Click on the link in my guide, it's real easy and takes less than a minute, has a video too.  It's damn near just as easy as using KDX, but it actually works.

no prob, i try to give back, i said i would, i keep my word.  i remember, even tho im pc inclined, some of the terms and slang being used for things threw me off at first on this scene.  when they mentioned hexadecimal i was like wtf, i was thinkin i was gonna have to mess with hex and i hate hex.  i hated in college and i still hate it now.  but i read up a little bit and realized i only need to copy and paste hex.  yeah and i used textbooks guide to do mine and it worked like a charm for me.  is ur guide in the main tuts, i remember getting it from a link someone left.  anyways thanks to everyone who contributes.

I sent the link to Xantium to put in the tutorials/reference post.  I don't think he put it in there, but it's in my signature and I'm always checking this forum anyways.  The hexediting is easy as pie.  Hexediting and 2-wire method, hell-even the flashing, scares all the noobs away.  I just said "Wow, I need to show them how easy this is."
