i just bookmarked this.

Do you think you are gonna come out with a newwer guide with more pics soon?

thanks

I think the pics are damn good. I could do this in about ten minutes. Real easy, just remove the resistor and connect two wires. Boot to dos, connect two wires and flash. Thanks 4 the guide.

Yeah, this should be a sticky plus on the front page of xbox-scene.com

I agree - who can do it?

Redline at XBH showed me this last week. There is another method to try, which doesn't involve any soldering...
Basically, just go about flashing your samsung like normal. When you get to the part where it asks to press 1 or 2 for Master or Slave (just before you flashthe drive), turn off your 360. After it powers down, press the correct channel button. On screen, it will look just like a normaly flash, but it will be in pause mode, waiting for a response from the Sammy drive. After having the system turned off for about 10 seconds, turn it back on. Now that the drive is on, it should flash immediately. This is also known as the Flash Recovery for Sammies. If this doesn't work, then try the VCC trick. This is nicer and safer for those people who aren't skilled with soldering techniques.

As Redline found out the other night and helped me and pringle! the bad flash recovery method does work but can be very tiresome and needs lots of reattempts for detection of the sata. We spent many hours trying this method and it was very hard for a ms28 and proved unsuccessful for both me and pringle!

The unique thing about the soldering method which is VERY basic soldering and didn't take long at all, is that you can power the drive and switch the drive into state 70 at your time choosing! making detection work perfectly!

Will the bad flash recovery method and this soldering method both allow you to backup games aswell? Or will it only allow you to play previously backed up copies?

You need to keep in mind that with either the bad flash recovery method, or the soldering method, that you are able to dump your drives original MS28 firmware and therefore get your drive key, which can use to add to a hacked firmware. You still need to edit one of these hacked firmwares with your drive key, so that it will allow you to play your backups.

You can play your existing backups, and new backups, as long as the firmware that you flash your drive with, has your drive key at the right location, and it has been edited or hacked to read the security sector of the game that you want to play from the right location, (which is at a different location to the original).

The existing hacked Samsung firmwares have had this done, and if you use one of these to flash your drive then your backups will play as long as you've put the security sector in the right location on the disc that contains the backup.

If you don't want to have to reflash your drive with either, the bad flash recovery method, or with the soldering method, each time you want to get your drive detected, in Windows with xtreme0800.bin. Or when you want to change your drive back to read backups with xtreme.bin or xtreme_proper.bin. Then you should flash your drive with the xtreme20.bin.

You will need to manually hex edit xtreme20.bin (and xtreme.bin for that matter, if you want to use it), if you want to flash your drive with either of them. xtreme.bin and xtreme20.bin have not been patched to work with KDX 1.5. Only extreme_proper.bin has been patched to work with KDX 1.5.

I would recommend flashing your drive with xtreme20.bin, because you will only have to flash your drive with it once. You can then use the enable0800 disc to get your drive detected in Windows each time you want your drive detected in Windows.

If you use xtreme20.bin then you wont have to flash your drive again and therefore will only have to do the soldering method or the bad flash recovery method once.

If you use xtreme.bin or xtreme_proper.bin you will have to reflash your drive everytime you want to change modes of the drive, which will mean that you'll have to use either the bad flash recovery method or the soldering method every time you have to reflash your drive.

Gees you always have good replies scrano - good job.

Hey, has anyone jumped on LIVE with the hacked fw and playing a game backup?

xboxto · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2006, 02:41:00 PM »

Here is actually pics of my setup! Quite a simple cheap switch!

(IMG:http://www.seeacar.co.uk/DCP_1590.JPG)

Dont panic with this and practice on an old graphics card or something!
We didn't have the best soldering experience at all! but managed just fine!
Think about what you need to do and make sure you dont get a too powerful soldering iron!

Seems the ms28's are due to start popping up all over as stores are running out of existing stocks!
We resell some here and there! and lets say uk shores are getting new batches!

I think somebody REALLY needs to make a new revised full sammy tutorial ASAP
I would have thought some experienced members would have already done this and
would like a tutorial within their website around new drives that are going to stump people!
Whilst this is on the forums, i dont see any information on the website!

Next reply following this needs to be a volunteer plz!

If anyone wants to donate a MS28 for a day I'll gladly add the results to the Bad Flash Recovery I made.

UK Only please.

EDIT.
Just getting another Sammy in for Flash repair. Fingers crossed its a MS28.

Nice pic - question though...

can you flash the pcb and chip without it in the casing like you have it shown? Pretty cool!

I see the power and sata connections and the simple switch installed.

thanks 4 your work!

Yes no problem for flashing the way you see it in the pic!
I would advise doing it outside the dvd casing/chassis!

I would recommend making the switch useable for every drive you get!
So put 2 short wires coming of the dvd controller, and attach 2 long wires from your switch!
The short wires on the controller can be tied when done and put discreetly away.
This way you dont knock the wires with the casing! you can just close the wires once done nice
and neatly out of harms way, then put it all back together!

P.S Should be a sticky! but think the right people haven't noticed yet as its quite important i'd think!
and enough correct illustrations!

hi all, i cant get it work. i have done several succesfull flashes with other drives, but this one is a bitch.

with the 2 wires connected it runs normal.
but with wires disconnected it wont even detect in my pc. and when i attach it on the xbox it gives error 65.
maybe i did wrong solder? messed up the flash circuit?

reznor666 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 05, 2006, 12:49:00 AM »

what do you do with the wires after everything has been successfully flashed etc... remove them leave them on and connected...
