Just connect your 360 drive to your pc, put disc in pc and boot computer, follow onscreen directions and you're done  This disc makes flashing 360 drives SO easy!  It's one reason I donated to Frosty

awesome! can't wait to do it then!

Does anyone know how to find the port for the drive in Linux? The disk only has instructions for windows

Update on 360 Modification USB Drive v1.6:

Testing on all three drives is looking good!

Many of my beta testers have confirmed that the drive backup files are being saved to the USB drive correctly, and the speed/performance of the drive modification process is much better than the disc-based versions! Overall this release will be MUCH better than all previous disc-based versions!

Release is slated for noon tomorrow. (Mountain Standard Time - MST)

I'm just trying the 1.6 disc for the first time. My system has 1 SATA hard drive. When I boot to the CD, the CD mounts as C: and my hard drive mounts as E: and F:(backup partition).  The prompt says that files will be backed up to C:. This is the CD drive, so I'm not sure what happens if I continue. Is there a way to change where the files are backed up to?

I couldn't find anything in the BIOS that would let me change drive letter assignments.

Thanks!

360 Modification USB Drive v1.6 is out!

Go and get it from the 'usual places' (XBINS)!

2 hours earlier than planned, but hey, i'm an excitable guy, I couldn't wait.


Changes/Updates:

 - 360 Modification Disc v1.6 discontinued in favor of USB-based version (this one)
 - NTFS support dropped, backup files are now saved to USB flash/thumb drive
 - NTFS-related freezing issues fixed (due to dropping of NTFS support)
 - Many code fixes in regards to backup firmware files
 - Bugs fixed in backup folder generation
 - Overall speed/performance improved


Enjoy!

Hello, I tried going to the "usual place" but when I go there all I can view is the nfo file, no download links.  Please help...and be gentle as I'm a total noob.  Many thanks

The main XBINS site is only for 'record keeping' and readme files, you need to go to the XBINS FTP site to get the actual software.

This link should help: http://www.x-scene.c...icles/xbins.php

Thanks for the reply. I am currently stuck on step 5 of that very tutorial. no new window is opening up.  Is there any other way to get this?  Thanks again.

Hmm, XBINS might still be on invite-only...

Which means that it is difficult to get access at the moment.

I have a 'permanent' developer login for XBINS, so i'm not sure how the end-user side of XBINS is working these days...

You might have to wait until my release becomes available elsewhere...

Hello again.  Finally managed to get the files and format USB and start flashing.  Same thing happens to me as when I used the disc...after I disconnect/reconnect the power and it starts dumping it asks if the firmware was dumped successfully and then hangs, doesn't accept any input....any ideas?

I'm using an ASUS P5N-E SLI mobo, the drive is connected to a Serial ATA PCI Adapter (VIA 6421 Chipset Solution).  I am running a dual-boot system (XP Pro 64bit and Vista Ultimate 64bit), could this be having an affect?

Thanks for any replies.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that small bug... it rarely happens, I think it is related to the 'CHOICE' support application the disc uses for ERRORLEVEL scripting...

Are you using a USB keyboard? Have you tried using a PS/2 keyboard?

I think that the 'CHOICE' application is simply waiting for input from a legacy keyboard and some USB keyboards/BIOSes don't properly support legacy mode for USB keyboards... which is why PS/2 keyboards work better in DOS.

Send me a PM, I would like to have you BETA test for me on this issue. (if you are interested)

NOTE: The above issue RARELY happens, and is not a dangerous bug, just annoying. If anyone else is unable to proceed past the firmware dump checkpoint, try using a PS/2 keyboard.

For the most part worked great, had a snag were it said that the dos files wouldnt work if i chose fat32 so i just changed it to fat. The rest worked perfect. Easy and simple.


Flashed a benq.

Yeah, i've been told that the USB Format Tool doesn't support FAT32 with DOS, so FAT32 formatting won't work with my software. But as long as you choose FAT you are set.

P.S. Glad to hear it worked well for you!
