Has anyone tried Flashing with Blaster 360 or USB connectivity kit? Curious if there are any success stories out there. Haven't seen either really mentioned on forums yet.

i use the Maximus 360 Xtractor connectivity kit. i don't have a serial port on my pc, so i use the USB portion of it to dump my Lite-On keys and it works just fine

I think he is talking about using a usb to sata adapter. im also curious I'v heard of people using sil sata cards with some drives and they were useless with previous tools. Anyone?

Why anybody would buy a blaster is beyond me. It takes 2-3 mins to open a 360 case. As for buying one, its not worth the crazy price they charge + you have to install it yourself. Either flash with 1.51 and be done with it, or wait for 1.6. Most likely there wont be a new iXtreme out for awhile, but who knows.

Using Blaster360 and sata to usb connectvity kit V2. Just curious if anyone has used this combo successfully. can dump firmware -- that's it. Write just gives error. Anyone else have this combo (Hitachi drive)

isn't a point of a blaster not having the need of a connectivity kit?

well - nice - could you just mention which onboard conroller runs on your mobo ?
there are hundreds of mobos out there and at least a bunch of different onboard controllers !!

If anything, you're gonna hear more failures than success stories.
