I think I messed Up BIG TIME! =[[
I was on the first step, did everything right (I as I believe but I guess I didn't, now)put it b mode by taking out the drive power and sliding the tray half way in and then hit enter, and then it said "Geremia' dvdkey method failed" so i hit no
then it asked to overwrite "INQUIRY.BIN" and I said yes thinking it would do whatever it just failed to do, kept giving me that so I just hit no, but It kept bringing me back to step one so I finally just pressed yes when asking if it was successful(though I guess it wasn't)
then it gave me "DUMMY.BIN" does not exist so I hit enter cuz thats all it would let me do, and I finished it erasing my drive and flashing it.. I don't know why any red flags didn't go up in my mind but I thought it was all good but now I get "please put disc in xbox" error when tryn to play a REAL copy of anything... is there a way to recover my drive or flash it to make it work or is my drive just gone now? =[[
so I have no FW backup (im assuming since it never read) and the FW is erased with the CustomFW could I dl the original FW somewhere and restart I guess is all i could do??
please help thank you!!

Yep, sounds like you've screwed it up. Because the original key data wasn't retrieved off the drive, you've no way of getting it back. It doesn't matter what you flash to the drive now as it won't work. This is why it's so important to ensure you have the data off the drive prior to erasing it.

You had an option when you saw there was a problem: Turn off the computer!
Even though you got errors, you still felt the need to carry on and erase the drive instead of just turning off the PC. You've turned your 360 into a XBLA console/DVD media player.

I'm sure the cost of the of the CK3 you purchased would have been more than getting someone to do it for you - let alone the cost of a new 360.

Naw I used a 12 dollar VIA VT6421 PCI SATA card thats all I bought, so there Is NO Way possible to spoof or use a different set of keys or anything... =/ anyways I think im just gonna buy a new drive, do you know where I could get one?

I found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/LITE-ON-XBOX-360-DVD-DRIVE-DG-16D2S_W0QQitemZ230322480835QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Accessories?hash=item230322480835&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

BUT It Says

"brand new lite-on xbox 360 dvd drives taken out of new machines . all were once tested and once opened to get the key extracted .

you need to flash this drive to make it work on your xbox 360"

so does that mean his keys are missing too, and wont work like mine?

So let me get this straight: You've tried to flash a Lite-On drive with just a SATA card? Did you at least build a probe to retrieve the key from it? Did you read ANY of the tutorials on this prior to attempting this, or just download the disc and 'go for it'?

It doesn't matter if you buy another Lite-on drive, or any drive for that matter. The fact still remains you went ahead and said YES to erasing the firmware without having a valid DVD key from it. Like I said, your 360 won't play games from DVD (unless someone hacks the encryption - don't hold your breath).

This is my biggest problem with all in one discs (no offence Frosty) - anyone can download and burn an image (as displayed here). Anyone wishing to attempt DVD firmware flashing for the first time is encouraged to read the tutorials, even if you're not going to use them.

no i didn't read a tut.. =/ I saw one on youtube (though not for this exact way to flash the drive, I have most definitely learned a lesson with this) so could you point me to a tut, and do you believe that drive would work and if not do you know where to get one that would? so I can pay for stupidity if it were lol

There have already been plenty of tutorials posted for Lite-On drives.

Team-Xecuter have some for their CK3s (look down the right-hand side): http://team-xecuter.com/ck3/

Also check the pinned tutorials in the newbie forums.

As I've said, there's nothing which can fix your 360. You've erased the firmware before retrieving the key. This is why it's so important to ensure the steps are carried out correctly. If you want to play Xbox 360 Retail/backups, you WILL NEED another console. Like I said, a very expensive mistake.

had my friend do my lite on for me using this disc and max232 based serial reader. worked perfectly!

thank you frostyTSM!!

only thing I would say is the key read fails perhaps it should refuse to continue (cant remember if the next prompt defaults to no/fail), to avoid bricks?

Mate you've killed your xbox , it is now an expensive book end

Why do people not read and then read again and if something is there they do not understand then ask

Hi. What is a max232 based serial reader mean? I have a serial port on my computer, I just don't know if it's max232 based.
