Bad Flash On V47 Hitachi
« on: November 30, 2008, 03:46:00 AM »
Hi folk's

I've just flashed a V47 hitachi that I'd done previously. The drive was having issues so I reverted it back to stock using firmware toolbox 4.6. Tested it and it booted originals fine but no backups. I  then hooked it back up to my pc and flashed it again. All the way through the flash process I got error after error after error and then the drive dissapeared from windows. Now it has the E64 error and a flashinf red lower right light when the sata is connected to the 360 itself. When it's not connected to the 360's sata port the center green light just flashes as if it's in mode b constantly but windows will not see it no matter what I try. Is it fucked or what?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Never used vista, so can't help with that one. Not heard of it before though.

Avoid the cross wire trick. Seen too many people fry their drives doing this.

The cross wire trick had nothing to do with the bad flashes. The drives  were both in mode b fine and visible in windows Vista. I could dump and restore original firmware but on both drives the patch failed. I installed XP on a spare drive and got a new hitachi for cheap, flashed it no problem so everything is fine now.
