Restoring Orig Firmware With Broken Xbox
« on: April 15, 2007, 04:59:00 PM »

Hi

my xbxo360 has the ring of death, 3 light red light are burning. So before i can send it to MS i want to restore the original firmware. I had the flashing of my xbox done by someone else, but now ive decided to do it myself.

But i encountered some problems. I read some tutorials and followed them closely. Here are the steps i took prior to flashing.

- Made bootdisk

- Copied mtkflash183c to bootdisk

- Copied orig.bin to bootdisk

My motherboard is an epox EP-9NDA3+ with nforce3. So all should work fine.

So then i connected my pc with my xbox using a sata cable

I hooked it up on sata1

Typed in dos mtkflash w /m orig.bin

Then I get a screen where i should choose a drive

1 IDE Sec Master
2 IDE Sec Slave
3 NV nForce3 Pri Master
4 NV nForrce3 Pri Slave

The first 2 are my hdd's

I have both chosen option 3 and 4 but it just wont start the flash.

The onyl thing i see is:

9f0, Master/Slave, a0

After that there is just no activity of the floppy disk or anything else
So my question is: What am i doing wrong here?

if your X360 is defective, do not use XS to help you conceal the fact you opened it.
