Just adding my 2 cents. The tutorial was flawless. Keep up the good work.

im getting stuck when i use firmware toolbox, soon as i click dump from gdr drive it hangs and nothing comes up.

 

the hitachi drive shows up in xp, also played the audio no problem, the 79unlock f (f is my 360 drive letter) came up with some error but it did so the !done at the bottom so i figured its unlocked ok.

 

any ideas ?  thanks (computer keeps freezing for a few secs and then working again)

Same happened to me but then I realised that I left the 79unlock CD in the drive. When I repeated the process I ejected the cd as soon as I had finished playing/stopping the audio. Then when I used the dos command I got only the done message (no error like the first time). Firmware toolbox worked a charm after this.

update* done it again firmware toolbox sort of works can pick drive for dumping but cant dump.

raw dump = cant read from drive

classic dump = cant read from drive

This is the same problem I have been having.
what are your specs?
OS?
chipset?

I am using Vista and Gigabyte X38 motherboard.

hi I’m new to this site and needed a little help I’ve brought the via chipset sata pci card and a pioneer DVD burner but I don’t understand how to do the flash I got the stuff because a friend was going to talk me through doing it but it’s been 6 weeks and he still hasn’t helped
I have the Hitachi 079fk drive and although I’ve read the instructions I feel a bit daft as I really don’t understand them so is there anyone who can tell me what to do in a simple way or perhaps talk me through it over xbl

Is it possible to flash with Xtreme firmware as weel as iXtreme as is noted in the method?

[XmodsUK]

Once the drive is unlocked, you can flash whatever you want.

The FW you flash with depends on the version of FW toolbox you use. If you want none iXtreme you will need an older version, cant remember what versions of the top of my head.

Same problem i had. Like he said, remove the disc after you hit play and stop. Then go to command prompt to unlock, then put a 360 game in before youm start up toolbox.

Hi, i have a issue with the Slax CD i believe,

I start booting up cd on my PC, then it starts booting the SLAX cd, i turn on the xbox 360, but then i never get to the message that says spinning disk, what happens is the text goes too fast and then it reaches the log in and password area!

is this something im doing wrong or i have different version of SLAX CD?

any help appreciated

thanks
