I would just try dosflash32 i find it to be much simpler.

This is an issue due to switching off the power (10 second trick) and when you switch it back on again the 360's psu seems to cause issues.

ok but i am not switching off the power. is there a work around.
and how do i us dosflash32. thanks

dosflash32 runs in a windows gui. You run it with your sammy powered up and if it finds it, it tells you to power it off and on and then you try and read it.

ok i just tried dosflash32 1.4 and it will not work either. any ideas. thanks again

just wanted to add that in jungleflasher when i get it unlocked using sammy unlock command. the green light on the 360 starts to flash. but i still get invalid status. this is really driving me crazy. i flashed my brothers drive a couple of months ago, and had to replace a broke hitachi with a m28 and did not have this much trouble i really don' t understand what i am doing wrong. any more ideas

They are up to version 1.7 now.

I use it with the via6421 with the drivers for the via not installed. I do have port i/o installed as i belive it is required.

port i/o isn't needed to run dosflash32

here is the latest. i made a boot usb and put dosflash16 on it. i got it to read the firmware off the samsung m28 and read it 3 times just to be safe. but each one just gives me a series of 0's for the key. what is up with this thing. thanks

What program are you using to open the firmware and view the key?

If everything else seems good i.e. the firmware reports as samsung and the version is ok then it would seem your key is lost.

I am going to pm you my email address so i can view your firmware dump and see what i think

KarakotX,
To uninstall the VIA drivers properly, check out the JungleFlasher_Tutorial.pdf down in the Appendix. Page 62.

I have been emailing Karakotx back and forth.

Basically he doesn't know how but he has flashed a original.bin with 000000000000000000000000000 for the key.

He didn't save the jungle flasher log files.

This wasn't his xbox

He is probably having a stiff drink right now or rolling a big fat one.

I tried my best to help him but it looks like there is no hope for this one.
