Shit, I have tried 10-5-3-2-1 second trick for few times but nothing new  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I hope I didnt brick my drive forever  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I tried almost everything using different USB keys, diferent programs: iPrep, xtremebootmaker.. diferent seconds to count, diferent commands: mtkflash, iflash, samhack.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  but cant understand why dumping firmware before E 65 worked and writing new fw after E 65 doesnt..

I just recovered from this exact same problem. All you need to do is try different timings. 10 seconds works great before e65 but after you need to try 3 seconds or 1 second or 5 seconds....... you get the idea. Eventualy itll work, trust me. Also try typing mtkflash w /m /sata orig.bin (or whatever your f/w is named). I tried the drive swap thing with no success, just keep switching up your timings on the 10 second trick and it'll work. 1 second worked for me.

if the flashing got stopped for whatever reason and it is appearing bricked then you dont need to do the ten second trick, dont ever turn the xbox off, when you select xtreme pri master it should just flash it,

what happens is when the firmware gets corrupt the firmguard isnt active so theres nothing stopping you from reading/writing straight to the flash chip.

try it, ive fixed loads when people have said it wont flash correctly etc

Hi  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  I was flashing my MS28. I used samread to dump my firmware and than I restarted PC and xbox and used samhack to flash it but it wrote something like cannot read from input file and freezed.. Than I turned off both xbox and PC. When I turned up xbox it showed Erorr E 65. What to do now? I have read something about E 65 but didnt find nothing specific.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  Thanks for every help and sry for my english.

what size is the orig.bin that you dumped, seem to recall me having the same issue and the dump was 0Kb, should be 256Kb

[bios100]

The orig.bin is 256 kb for sure but the hacked.bin was 0 kb when I used samhack.  I have tried flashing without turning off the 360 already but freezes at the same moment. Thanks everybody for helping me, Im gonna try another 20 times and hope that will work.

i've got exactly the same problem, also my drive won't even open. Also when I press the on/off button my 360  takes a lot more time getting shutdown, about 10 seconds, which I didn't had before I dumped the key. I'll now try some different timings and hope i'll get the right one. I'll let you guys know if it worked or not.

EDIT: YES it worked I didn't shutdown the 360 at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) try this again it helped wonderfull. My 360 also shutdowns like normal again.

Try what? My 360 takes about 7 seconds to turn off. Did you have the E 65 too?

[DannyG]

Yes I also got the error and I spend hours to flash it back to the orig.bin, with the badflash method which didn't work, but when I just didn't put off the console before choosing the drive it worked and my ms28 is now flashed to 1.4 after trying to update the firmware again.

Finaly I reflashed my drive using method with switching drive. Im sure that this is the only way that worked for me. Really really thanks to Johnny HugeButt for his method.. Im so happy now   and thanks to all..
