ive never had to take the drive apart when recovering from a bad flash WITHOUT using the x360 usb - so wtf are you talking about ?
Do you have a Samsung drive or Hitachi drive?
I know is it possible to recover the Samsung without needing to take apart the drive. But if you figured out a way to do the same with the Hitachi drive, please inform us all how you did it. Every thread I read so far says you have to desoder the PCB from the ODD board. Share the knowledge!
