I recently flashed my sammy ms25 with the new ixtreme 1.6 to play wave 3 games. I did the old method with a floppy boot and mtkflash. The flash went fine but for some reason my drive is not redcognized anymore by my 360, i get the one red light. I put my original key into the the 1.6 firmware and the flash was good. I dont know why it didnt work, also i cant seem to reflash it , does it need to be in 0800 mode? my 0800 disc didnt didnt seem to work either for it because i couldnt flash my original firmware after the 1.6 didnt work. What the hell do i do?

Was the drive a MS25 a virgin drive not previously flashed, if so then its now become a MS28 once you flashed it, providing youve still got the original key and it was good then youre ok. One thing to remember as an MS25 original any sata chipset would have regognised and flashed it, now its a MS28 you now only have only a few options mainly Via Sata chipsets. What hardware have you for flashingand operating system?

it was not virgin, i think i had xtreme 4.2 or 5.2 and i put it in 0800 mode to flash it. when i go to flash it now it finds the drive but nothing happens when i select it, meaning i think its locked. The 0800 disc didnt seem to work but maybe i didnt keep it in long enough. Will the 0800 disc unlock the ixtreme 1.6? i dont have the kit to do the open tray trick. also i think why the firmware didnt work was because it said ms28 on it and my board is ms25, so i guess i need to 'spoof' it because they didnt make an ms25 version i think. either way i need to be able to reflash it

You still havent said what sata chipset you have or what operating system and how are you powering the drive etc. Also take a look at the PDF of jungleflasher on how to, link below.

I have the via chipset, the best one, and windows xp. I was succesful in reflashing ixtreme 1.6 by manually holding the drive open to flash. It flashed fine. But then it gave me an e79 error when i turned it on. Then i git 3 rrod, im not sure that its due to the flash cause i think it was good, but ive never gotten e79. either way my xbox is shit now.

E79: Dashboard Error - Couldn't start xam.xex: probably a file system corruption, it could also be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.

doesn't hurt to google a bit.

Alright well thanks for all your help. I flashed my 360 properly but i thought it wasnt because i got e79 error directly after the flash. So i reflashed only to get RROD and realized the flash was good and my xbox broke. So i read a tut on how to fix it with screws and i did and it worked. So i got my ixtreme 1.6, a fixed console and my wave 3 games are up and running!
