The drive not responding to eject at all? if not.....

Theres a bin calling out for you to put that xbox in because theres nothing that can be done. Infectus cannot help.

Nope you have a paper weight. If you have erased the firmware without dumping your key you need to buy a new xbox360.

Doesn't it ask you if your sure you want to erase? I'm pretty sure it does. like 2 times. This is why I NEVER flash the drive from the console I'm working on, I play musical drives, I had an extra lite-on so I read the keys from one drive, then flash the firmware to my spare drive, then test, put 360 together if all goes well, then store the drive from that console until I need to flash another lite on, this way I never risk the chance of screwing up the console.

SAdly a very large paper weight

I go as far as do a screen grab of the key just in case and save it I also make couple of copies of the key file.

Only Thing can do is flog the thing on ebay as a dead xbox

Sell off the parts and try and get some of teh cash back

Sure some people out there will by the :-

Case
Controller
Psu
ScartLead
Liteon - Drive

Oddly enough the empty box

OUCH!

Expensive lesson, but hopefully one that others will learn from. Always dump your key first.

Also, to all the first timers, If you are unsure of what you are doing, it may be best to consider having someone do it for you.

Ya I don't understand how you could accidentally have hit the erase button as it asks you like 2 times if you are sure and if you have the key...

Why do people act as if we are dumb, you cant "accidentally" Click Lite-On Erase, then click "Yes" to the first box then "Yes" once more to confirm. We aren't that stupid, the program is not bugged. I'm sorry that you've killed your xbox, but just come out and admit that you made a mistake, don't say it was an accident.

You can't recover it, you've bricked the console. I didnt mean to sound rude, but you cant press "Liteon Erase" then confirm both YES boxes without realising. There is nothing you can do, sell the xbox for parts and buy a new one.

you fucking idiot, there are a million 'are you sure' boxes to tick, and you still managed to kill the box? lol

It's over. here are the 2 screens you should have seen and you clicked yes on both it warned you:

Cant buy anything to help you because without a working drive (with correct key) you cant read the exploit to get into the area to get the key and the new 360s have been patched with the newest updates that prevent this anyway. it is impossible now to fix your 360. I am sorry but that is why it gave the warnings to prevent this.

Proppo · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:47:00 AM »

No you cant, that doesnt get the key, that just gets drive serial/opt and PCB numbers. The actual Key, which is the MOST important part is what he has erased from the drive and can no longer recover.

Thats exactly what I do too. Its a good tip for anyone whos got a spare Lite-On. Do it this way to be extra safe.
