Topic: Possible To Run Linux And Get Dvd-key From Mobo With Bricked Dvd-drive (Read 94 times)

Hi guys..

Ive got 2 "bricked" xbox 360 consoles here.. they are both pretty old, so Im fairly certain they have one of the first kernels.. anywhoo.. the dvd-drives in em have been bricked due to overwriting/erasing of the firmware onboard before backup was made..

I didnt know what to do with them then, but now, it seems like there are possibilities that would allow oneself to get the keys through Infectus guide, old kernel, Gentoo Linux Beta 2 and a network cable.. but I dont see how this is possible without a working dvd-drive, since you get Error during bootup with a bricked dvd-drive.. (bricked as in erased firmware)

Or is it so that you just need to put in a random dvd-drive (with another key)and just run Linux that way? Since DVD-movies runs on a XBox 360 with lost dvd-key I mean, perhaps that is how your supposed to fix it?

Would love some feedback here..

Cheers

It's not possible without a working DVD drive. You need a working drive to boot King Kong to run the exploit that boots Linux.

Does it have to be orginal drive or can it be a new one.

It has to be actually working in the sense that you are able to play games with it. Not just "not broken".

Also, don't PM people asking the same questions you asked already in the forums. Especially not when they're stupid questions answered fifty times already in this very forum.
