to make this as simple as possible I will try and scale everything down.

I first bought a 360 on ebay sometime in spring of 07. A guy at work said he could flash my 360 and I let him. He gave me an e-mail with 4 .bin files. The drive worked flawless, but eventually the console itself suffered the RROD. I kept the dvd drive Hitachi 2006 manufacturing date. So I then bought an xbox 360 arcade last november and sent both the dvd drives (Hitachi and Lite-On) to someone who is no longer on the board. He then gave me an e-mail with a dvd drive key and some other .bin files. I put the Hitachi drive in and was able to play backup's and originals (hitachi was spoofed to mimic the lite-on drive?)(never seen if the lite-on worked or really cared). Recently I sent the drive to someone who stated they could flash the lite-on drive with the latest 1.6 firmware. Got it back and the only thing it will read is dvd's (no backups or original games).

I don't believe that I told the last guy that it had been flashed not once but twice. To make a long story short, is it possible to get my Lite-On drive working with the 1.6 firmware? The hitachi drive will read backups and originals (except for wave 3 games).

The person whom attempted to flash my drive had this to say

Well I couldn't read your key off your drive. I have done many and never had a problem, the person who had previously got the key off your drive had soldered on there so maybe they messed something up on it. I tried reading the key off the drive like you would since the guy had soldered used the old way and that didnt work, but I also tried the new easy way you get this thing called a probe. You just poke it in a hole and it will read the key. So I couldnt get the key either way. The program also stated that the files you sent me it said, something like serial does not match drive or something so the person who did your drive before could of swapped on you.

Does anyone out there think they could solve this problem? I would be willing to pay a normal rate to have it flashed.

if you still have all the key.bin and inquiry.bin off the lite-on drive thats all you need to make new firmware and flash it again. you dont have to probe every time, so yes it shouldn't be a problem to get it working.

The Lite-On drive can be flashed for Wave 3 games providing you have the orignal files, and the Hitachi can be updated to play Wave 3 games.

why is the guy trying to read a key off a drive you already have a key for you must have a key beacuse you say your playing games with spoofed drive i have just woke up so i may be wrong but im pretty sure you can just earse and flash it without having to probe as long as you have keys from email or hitachi

I don't have a connectivity kit or anything like that. Should I still be able to flash the firmware myself, using onboard SATA, the 360, and something like jungleflasher?

If the files you got when your lite-on was origianlly flashed are fine (no reason to say there not), then you can flash it with those. You can fix the serial data by following the instructions in JF.
