Neither really...the 25 and 28 have both had the dreaded err66.

It's very few of them, and the same can be said for Hitachis.

hitachi drives just need restore.bat from garyopa's package.

That was my thought (understanding), but now that u confirmed, it is safer to help on my friend's 360.

Thank You

Again sorry for the off topic...

I flashed and updated 2 xbox 360's ... both are the same model.

Drive: Samsung ms25
Firmware: 4.2a
(SWEDEN)

Flashed using mtkflash for nvidia chipset and hexedited using 360SAM.exe or someting.. dont remember the appname =)

Downloaded Live Update and installed succesful.. The box is still working and i can still go on live. Played SplinterCell DA last night for 4 hours multiplayer.

That makes perfect sense extreme v3.3 was ms25 based firmware so it kinda would work on a initial ms25 based 360.

My Sammy MS25 whit xtreme 4.0a 4.1a 4.2a = E66

3.3 Works fine

I have a bigger problem... my drive is a MS25 originaly mi XBOX had a Hitachi drive but it died so i replaced it with a sammy drive, my problem is that no matter what firmware i flash to my dirve (xtreme v2-4.2) i'm still getting the E66 and i can't flas the original firmware cause its a Hitachi 59 i've just extracted the key from the hitachi and insert it on the sammy. Could it be possible that the new update detects that i'm running a Hitachi key on a Samsung drive? How can i fix this?

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanx

You simply can't do a thing about it, you need to buy the Hitachi-LG drive and flash it to get it up and running again.
