It would seem I need to find a better way of generating the IO information.
msinfo is proving to be a big pain in the ass.

Is there any other way around it? Can I enter in the IO information manually?

Should be fixed now.
Was a bug, if you noticed the lable got filled with the values, and not the text box's.

You can now.

You need to enter the DEV_ID & VEN_ID in the first box (Device ID), and the first and third IO port in the second box.

Thanks for the update. One question how do I get my Device ID and I/0 port?

snoopgst · « **Reply #19 on:** September 30, 2006, 05:41:00 PM »

I figured out how to get the I/0 information:
0x0000A000-0x0000BFFF   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK
0x0000A400-0x0000A403   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK
0x0000A800-0x0000A807   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK
0x0000AC00-0x0000AC03   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK
0x0000B000-0x0000B00F   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK

The IRQ is:
IRQ 16   Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller   OK

What numbers do I need to enter into the program for device ID and I/O Port??

Thanks

Ignore my last post, I got the program working. I formatted the usb and used the edited mtkflash for my sata controller pci card.

I now get the following options when i boot from the usb :

1. Ide
2. ich6 primary master
3. ICH6 Pri slave
4. Si3112 Pri master
5. si3112 pri slave

none of them seem to work (I did not try 1, its my hdd)
4 and 5 give me this error:
Si3112 do not support IDE flash

What am I doing wrong?

Ok, i've been doing a lot of research over the past week on flashing this drive. I have a Samsung and it's looking to be a MS25 based off the manufacter date.

I have gotten a copy of this, installed it, and opened it. I clicked "Other unsupported" and it finds my SATA chipset just fine (Intel ICH8). I assume it edits a version of MTKflash fine for my chipset since it found it. I point it to xtreme 3.3 and it made a boot disk and everythings just fine and dandy.

From here is where I am getting confused. I would like to know the exact process on how to flash the drive from here. The NFO on the newest release just states:

Boot from your prepared drive (A drive in my case).
Type "samread xxxxxxx xxxxx" to backup your 360's original firmware. (XXXX is the serial number of the 360?)
Type "samhack xxxxxxx xxxxx" to flash the Xtreme firmware.

Is this it? Do I not need to do the commands like I find in other tutorials (mtkflash r /m orig.bin, mtkflash w /m xtreme.bin)

If this is the case and it's really as simple as booting off the disk and typing those 2 commands, I'm in and will do it tomorrow.

I would appreciate anyone's help. I know it's a hassle and I sound like a noob, it's just soooo confusing the number of different tutorials out there and how each one seems to vary.

I'D REALLY APPRECIATE if someone would give a step by step walkthrough tutorial using this program.

Thank you for all your help and I'm sorry if I sound like a newb. Believe me, I have done research, it's just everything seems to vary so much, it seems this will be the easiest to use.

You answered your own question

You just type those commands.

You may wat to use the newest 0.2.10 - http://www.x-projects.org/download.php?view.6

samread & sam hack are just .bat files that automatically run all the other command you have seen.

I downloaded the newest version 0.2.10...when I went to make a new boot disk, it told me "This device is not compatible with MTKflash".....I was trying to use:

Intel® ICH8 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2820

How come it detected it and everything worked fine with verion 0.2.3???

These are the options I have for SATA chipsets:

Intel® ICH8 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2820
Primary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel
Intel® ICH8 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2825
Primary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel
GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller

When I went thru the list again, the ICH8 (2820) is the one that causes problems...however the ICH8 (2825) detects just fine....so should I use this or would I use the GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller?

I will include a copy of the info I found in MSinfo32.exe...

Thanks for all the help. Once I find out what to use, I'm gonna try it out and hope your program works as easy as it seems it would.

One last question, when I do "samread xxxxxxx xxxxx", it puts the backup copy of my firmware on the disk in the BACKUPS folder, right?

You run this first to make your bootable disk, so that you can run MTKflash to flash your drive.
I am working on a full guide.

Remove disks or other media.
press any key to restart

I have tried 2 disks and still gives me the same error

I can get the boot when using MTKFLASHvia32
