All 250GB consoles sold here ( mostly import from UK ) are with 93850c drives.


Here most of the Arcades with Banjo were manufactured July and were with completely flashable 83850c drives.


Almost all flashable console here are sold so, we will be waiting for a solution.

Maybe I'm being dumb, but what are you refering to when you keep saying 'here'?

Yeah, I thought that was probably the case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

FWIW not all UK 250gb consoles are undumpable, as stated earlier in this thread I sucessfully dumped/flashed a 250gb 83850c a couple of days ago.

If Microsoft patched up their firmware to disable Datal's memory units, why would they turn a blind eye to the foundmy.com service? Heck, they would SUE foundmy.com if only it was the sole source for the hack.

In any case it's not the fault of openkey. This is just the nature of a cat and mouse game.

Exactly, I've said this before. As soon as foundmy.com offered a service to unlock 83850c drives, MS would have then stepped up their game. Openkey etc just helped us get our keys without paying for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

ok one of the july2009 lite on froze on my after erasing. is it a complete brick? dumped the keys and everything as usual then it just randomly froze and wont show up in windows anymore. can it be flashed in dos(I usually do other liteons in dos)?

or can I get a new samsung drive and spoof that drive. key does look valid unless I fudged that up too. again it looks fine I can post some logs if that makes any difference.

I shall agree.  Removed the idiots post.
What are you like 12.  Grow up, that shit is just stupid and old, it was never even funny to begin with.

Wow.. I just read through 26 pages of 100% pure redundancy.

Instead of your useless posts, why don't you do your "job" and moderate this thread back to some form of efficiency. Otherwise, give your status to someone who can.

update. flashed in dos and now the system starts and the tray opens but games still wont play. I get "play dvd" error. pretty sure the firmware didnt dumb correctly. I saw "x_x_x_" somewhere in inquire box.

what else can I try here? another drive is the solution? can someone confirm that so I can order a samsung drive or something.

I would have been semi-impressed by your bravado if you hadn't hidden behind creating a fake account just to mouth off at the mods.

If you flashed your drive without obtaining a proper dump first, your xbox is done for, sad to say but you'll have to buy another one.

This revision was bound to happen regardless of public release. Don't let ANYBODY fool you into thinking that it was the communities fault for this.

yeah but I was able to "fix it" but now it only plays dvd and even reads mixed media dvds. I simply cant pin point WHAT went wrong in the process. can someone answer my drive question tho?? the xbox drive still works, system boots, tray opens close and reads dvds. means I do have a valid key. so I could just get a samsung drive and thats it??

sooner or later I will get it test out as I mod stuff for ppl. I just need  to know before I order another drive.

this is not a COMPLETE fail as this drive still works as a spare for testing purpose I guess.

Not the right thread to handle your flashing problems.

You may have got a corrupted key. The drive reads dvd-movies with the wrong key but no games. I always test the key with an other drive before erasing the original 83850 drive.

I didn't say where is here cause it doesn't matter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you do wanna know it's Bulgaria. Here Xbox 360 isn't officialy sold so all consoles, accessories and etc. are imported mainly from UK or Greece.

As I said many 83850c drives from August and September were flashable, but many were not. All 250gb consoles were mainly imported from UK ( I honestly may say that all of them are from there ) and all opend were with 93850c drives. One member of our 360 comunity claimed to have tried all available modchips to read the key from the MB directly but it's locked too. So some sort of an attachment to cygnos might be on the way, as they've said that's probably what we will need.

C/P from ABGX
"One of the ways Microsoft can detect you being a dirty, filthy pirate is to scan this video to make sure it matches with what is supposed to be on the disk, so to protect you, the firmware itself does a quick checksum of it and if it doesn't match with known video data, it wont boot. Every now and then, this video changed, with each change being called a "wave"."
End of C/P

If M$ can "check" the video partition for validity, why the hell not can't they detect what firmware is on any DVD drive?  All M$ has to do is check the "checksums" on any given line of the code (firmware).  Running modified firmware would generate a different checksum for the modified areas in the firmware.  All they need to do is look at one checksum value - stock firmware has one value while modified ones will have a different value.  All it takes is one line of code in the firmware changed, and that line will have a different checksum.

When you turn on a 360, it runs through a self dignostic check.  It would be very simple to write 360 firmware (dashboard code) that checks the DVD rom when you turn on the 360.  Currently our 360 checks the DVD drive during bootup.  This would be the best time to check DVD rom firmware.

With all the bans over the years, and nobody has even the slightest clue what M$ is detecting to trigger a ban.  I believe it's as simple as the 360 checking certain sectors (blocks) of the DVD rom f/w.  With all the xbox360 can do (speed, graphics, etc), are you gonna tell me that they can't check firmware on the DVD rom drive?  M$ has complete control over the DVD rom drive, they have to - otherwise nothing would boot PERIOD.
