Hey guys, I`m using the Connectivity Kit 3 Pro version, but I`m not able to get the key.bin. I tried USB-COM and a serial cable to the real COM port, but neither works. It gets identify.bin and inquiry.bin, but for the key it shows only CC CC CC... I tried dvdkey32 in windows and dvdkey 16 in DOS, but neither works.

Anyone? Are there other people not being able to dump the key.bin using CK 3 Pro (or Lite)?

sounds like you have solderd the leads on the wrong pins check the voltage connections
or got the leads mixed up

It was right but it seems that it was something wrong on the motherbord. Well well it was a old motherboard anyway. But now I had to dig up a evan older one. And this one wount boot into dos from the usb memmoy. Any ide how to get this to work? I managed to get into dos with a dos cd but then it cant find the usb where I have the dvdkey. Please any help would be apricatad.

I am still not able to do it, this gets me soo frustrated!

dvdkey16 says:
It didn`t work sorry, sega:54
Nothing received from COM port.

Does this mean that something with my serial cable/COM port might be wrong? Or maybe I am not able to put the drive in the right mode (the part where you have to close the tray and cut the power off)?
How can I test things in XP with Realterm? How does this application really work?

I really don`t know what to do anymore. There is some current leakage on my metal PC case (i can feel it with my hand) and on most of my attempts the dvd drive was touching the case, but I tried with space between them and there was no difference. Also maybe it is worth mentioning that while I do the process the CK3 Pro is hanging in the air from a molex cable.

Come on guys! What`s with the totally not existing support for CK3? What did I buy this thing for?

I followed this and it worked great:

In your previous pic you posted, you had two blue lines drawn in there. That's how I did mine. I found it easier to solder a small wire on each of the RxD and Txd spots. Then just stuck the other end of the wires in to the small holes next to the R707 and R708 areas. (I used the CK3 Light)

Is it necessary to use the ground pad on the drive board?
Can you just use an alligator clip on the drive casing as a ground instead?

I have a few wires with clips already soldered to them so if I could just solder one to the RS-232 adapter
it would it would eliminate 1 solder for me on the drive. Which would be nice.

Thanks

So I botched my soldering job on my lite-on. Do any of you guys know of another way to pull the key? Would anyone be willing to take my drive and send me the key/flash my samsung drive? Shoot me a PM!

But my R707 and R708 are connected to RxD and TxD, I checked with an ohm-meter.
Here you can see on this picture, it looks a bit messy, I had to replace a resistor after messing up a bit.



The problem is in dumping the key.bin. What did you exactly do, because I too followed this tutorial and it didn`t work. Do you cut the power to the DVD or simply push the tray in, while it`s on?

[KarlosB]

eject drive, turn power to drive off, close drive half way, turn power on....the drive will stay half open.

It didn`t work this way, but it also didn`t work the other way, described on the CK3 website, where you have to just push the tray in a bit while it is running.

Pl help with the following error...



I am new to xbox 360 modding and got stuck for the last 3 days...

Pl help... Every thing seems to be as per the instructions... But always get 00000... Even tried swapping tx and rx... No results...

Tried Realterm and found that there is a problem... But couldn't know the exact problem...

Is my RS3232 to TTL Adapter gone bad or my dvd drive?

Pl help... Thanks...

Same situation as Substance wrote above.

Tray won't stay half-open.

Tried paper clip method. Tried removing the plug from the mainboard while it closes after hitting eject  - but in this case it just opens fully after plugging  power back on.(I DON'T have connectivity kit - just using xbox360.

Also.
I didn't tested my RS232 dongle, but when I try to read, DVDKEY says "drive present". Does this means that connection works?

Unfortunately ( likely) because of the tray not half-open I get just 000000000000000000000 and "sorry. it didn't work".

Any help greatly welcome. Any quick help will save my sanity.

Update:

I changed dvdkey.exe to newest version (1.2).
I tried powering xbox360 on, eject button (ejected), eject button (closed), manually (paperclip method) pulled the tray half-open - noticed the light on xbox360 started to flashing rapidly, then tried and

error: sega 54,


inquiry and identify.bin saved OK, but no KEY. Just a message that "COM port seems to work anyways" or something like that".

I'll try to switch RX to TX, but I'm wondering...
Some guys can do it, some cannot. Some even can do it on one liteon but not on the other...
Is it possible that it is the power? I read tons od post around the web - someone wrote, that he couldn't get a key using 3,3V from liteon power connector, couldn't when using 2 x 1,5V batteries, but succeeded when added another one (total of 4.5Volt). My SP3232ECP (I'll kill ( )someone if it makes the difference - I ordered the one on Maxim 3232, but received this with manual for Maxim3232... ) has "3-5Volt" in datasheet, so 3,3V is even 0,3V more than minimum...

One more thing. I tried to connect it like this:
3232 dongle equipped with female 9-pin D-Sub ---> gender changer ---> rs232 cable --> COM port on PC.
and no message about "COM seems to be working anyways".
Then I connected it 3232donlge-->PC. With no cable. (got to remove screw-holders) and the message as written above.

In short manual for MAXIM 3232 which I received with my SP3232ECP dongle it says "connect through null-model rs232 cable" - I checked the connections inside the cable and it seems that my rs232 cable is the right one.

Neverthanless, no matter how I try to connect this - it fails...

Is it for 100% confirmed that soldering only one bridge is enough? Because I'm out of ideas. So far 10 hours in preparing (reading), 5 hours in trying and no results. Really annoying...
