did u try turning the drive off, that usually will kick it out of vendor mode.

[TuxRacer]

Yeah i have tried that like 129 times by now

[iateshaggy]

post your jf log, dvd key edited out.  why do u think it is stuck in vendor mode?

[TuxRacer]

Ill see if i cant get around to post the JF log abit later today. Well the drive will not eject or respond at all no matter what i do to it when im  done flashing. Have tried forcing the tray halfway in, fully inn, leaving it completly out etc. And yes i press outro/ata reset

[hardie]

maybe thats your problem you pressed outro ata/reset
samsungs dont need to be outro'd so long as you get write verified ok

you will have to PMT the Samsung drive then to unbricked but u are going to need a via sata port.

Been busy buying presents and celebrating christmas last couple of days so i havent had much time to play around with the xbox. What do you mean by PMT? I do have a via sata card available that i bought a couple of years back. I have tried flashing with it as well with little luck

You are going to need the following CK3/CK3 PROBE + your existing via card, suggest you read the Jungleflasher guide from start to finish as a new user. Page 15 of this guide will explain the PMT method. Other than that suggest you take it to someone with more experience.

Hello friends
I got a similar problem with a benq drive, blocked into 80 statut when i was trying to update the 360 dashboard !! (the guy owning this box didn't told me that the drive was spoofed into liteon 74 !!)

You could imagin the situation !! a benq drive into 80 statut & I don't have the DVD key to do an erase !!

I found the solution fter 3 hours by using the PMT/ARY probe with Intro/device ID
drive not detected, it's normal, do not power on the drive  
lunch jungle flasher
MTK Flash 32
click on Intro/Device ID
it will fail & ask you a power cycle,
here, I put my probe on the MPX01 benq point like in this picture (this is for benq, it's a different point on sammy drives, look at JF pdf tutos)



confirm by yes to JF question
Then power on the drive, in two seconds you'll see your samsung drive detected with 70 statut but with bad informations,
Just click once agin on Intro/Device ID & hop !!
Your drive will be fully detected with all the good informations
you could dump agin your samsung & flash-it to OFW/CFW

This work fine with me, I found this solution into the Jungle flasher pdf tuto v1.4.4 (thanks a lot to team jungle by the way)

Hope it will wok with you, good luck
Edit:
For sammy MPX01 picture, look at the JF pdf guide v1.4.4
