Hi Frosty,

Sorry, but it is 100% 360 Modification Disc v1.51.

I did it somehow with all combinations from this thread.

That is for Samsung update.

Now I'm trying Lite-On and I have VIA card, CK3 Pro and CK3 probe.

I don't have Serial cable but I bought CK3 pro because of that.

Can I use USB instead with CK3 Pro with your disk or not?

Thanks.

Only the serial connection is supported by my disc. DOS doesn't really support USB devices... i'm afraid my disc might not ever support the USB option.

I made a pen drive bootable and transfered everything to it in hopes it would work, since I removed my optical drive from the pc.  No luck.

Any plans for a bootable usb version?

Either way, my hats off to you and those who helped you make this possible, and Thank you for all the hard work and time you have devoted to this project.

Update!

It seems that the freezing issues many users are experiencing is related to the NTFS4DOS application, which controls NTFS support on my disc.

I am currently testing another freeware DOS/NTFS solution, expect an updated version of my disc within 24 hours that should solve any freezing issues.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Is this update out yet?  Are you referring to an update of the 1.5-rev.2 (update being 360 MD v1.51) or is there an update to the 360 MD v1.51?

I currently have a Lite-On flashed with Ixtreme 1.5.  Can I use this disc to upgrade to 1.51 without using a CK3?

Anyone able to answer this??

You are better to have a CK3. Using the 360 to power isn't reliable at all. Plus it needs to connect to the PC via serial cable. The CK3 has this connection. Pro and Lite.

Yes, if you are modifying a Lite-On drive the prompts will tell you when to connect the CK3.

So, Can you use the ck3 with the new version? I try using it with the older version and it didn't let me.

Have you tried using an external power source instead of using your 360?

I personally use the XENO connectivity kit for my power source, but the Xecuter connectivity kit and the CK3 pro/CK3 lite also work very well.

I don't really recommend using your 360 as a power source, it tends to cause reading/flashing issues with Samsung and BenQ drives.

Cos the guy who made the disc recommends it.

hi i keep geting problem (stacker in my config sys) what is that and how do i fix it

[Casey120]

Thank you for this !
I had some problems flashing my Samsung drive first with your boot disk .

It seemed that my IDE HD was the culprit ,
it made a perfect copy of my original firmware but then it just hang .
So i just let it hang with the HD to get my firmware copy , then did it again but now after selecting the map for the firmware backup i pulled the molex out from the HD , it rebooted after the original firmware dump and then flashed perfectly  .

This was the first time i flashed my own 360 .
I am getting a connection kit because the 15 seconds wait was a bit of an annoyance and when the 1.6 firmware gets here i am hoping you will make another boot disk .


Thx !!!!!!!!!

Am i only one who has'nt found a proper release anywhere?
I've checked some different sources where to get this disc, and every .iso i find, contains only the windows tutorial thing. No other files.

I was thinking putting this into a floppy.

1.5 was easy to get, but 1.51, hard to get

It's on Xbins then burn the iso using imgburn, then you have your boot disc.

I found this out before i got to edit my post.

It's a boot disc. You need to insert the disc into your PC, then reboot your PC, then boot into the disc and follow the instructions. The file structure of the disc resides in the boot sectors of the disc, and not in the normal Joilet file system. This is intentional, and is my new method for this release.

If you insert the disc into your PC with Windows running, all you will see is the Readme file, the Lite-On Serial Cable diagram, and the instructions to find your VT6421's port. happy.gif

But well, Frosty, can you make an floppy-compatible version of this? I know it's too big for a normal 1,44MB floppy, but multi-floppy things are not uncommon

Yes, I could, but floppy drives are really unreliable.

If you really wanted to, you could simply extract the boot information from my disc using an ISO editting application like PowerISO, and then just image a floppy using the boot information you extracted. (you will need a 2.88MB floppy disc & drive though)

Although, as I said before, floppy drives and discs are highly unreliable. Using the ISO on a CD as normal is a much better option...

Sweet dude, i'm glad to hear that you got it working!

Oh, and yes, I definitely intend on continuing to release and improve on this disc. As long as people like my work, I will continue to release it. Everytime a new firmware comes out you can expect an updated version of my disc to follow.
