"hdd Trick" And "b Mode"
« on: June 25, 2006, 03:26:00 AM »
i have a few dumb questions (used search before but didn't find anything usefull):

1.
"Use the HDTV switch/HDD trick to soft reset the console"
what is, and how it's done the HDTV switch/HDD trick?

2.
"Ensure Hitachi drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd"
mode b? two wire trick? slax linux boot cd?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)  i'm lost now...  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

sorry about this, but can anyone explain all that to me?
thanks in advance

Lets see... the hack is for the dvd drive.. hummm..
Its a firmware hack...humm

If only there was a section in the 360 forums just covering the technical details of the firmware and firmware hacking. That would be nice! Then we can collect tutorials and stuff and sticky them there.

I'm lost too.

Just get Geebee's tutorial in the tutorials section on the homepage it has all the information you could need on modding your xbox's dvd firmware there.
