so you disconnected the drives laser ribbon?
...

Are you supposed to disconnect it?
In my case it was a brand new replacement PCB. So I flashed it without any connections to the rest of the drive, just the plain PCB.

I did some tests because of my disc read errors:

I installed 4 XGD3 games. Two of them failed. The second time I installed them it went fine. All discs were burnt by Imgburn (lates version) on an iHAS624 with LT Max on brand new Verbatims at 4x with OPC. The discs verified perfectly in Imgburn and later again in ABGX.

So it is more or less luck if I can install a game at the first try. But with a few tries I can install all games. What could be the Problem?

I use a original Xecuter PCB replacement (Liteon 401 rebuild). I strictly followed the Jungleflasher guide to flash the drive. The drive is correctly locked and I did the drive outro 3 times. I didn't get the key verified message, though.

Since I could install all 4 games in the end, I don't think that messed up connecting the cables inside of the drive.

All help is greatly appreciated!

Have you seen this thread - http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=739572

I was having problems with xgd3's aswell, turned out it was a bad batch of verbatim discs, It was only some games that showed the problem. Try some of the burn settings in that thread also, that might help. Have you run a kprobe?

Thanks for your post. You really could be right. 2 discs were 'borrowed' from a friend and 2 discs have reading problems. Maybe his were Indian Verbs.

I will do that kprobe tonight and let you know.

Yeh i was stumped for ages, until I tried a new set of discs. Its really weird that some of them work fine and some dont, even depending on the game burnt.

I have a similar prob

Its that crappy iHAS drive - such a shame the max firmware wasn't written for a decent drive like the pioneer

Never had a single failure with my trusty old Pioneer 116 drive (even with Aones)

Cut the bs. The reason the failiure rate is so high is because the data density is being increased beyond spec of the disk and it's being burnt to the outer edge. Nothing to do with the drive for the most part. Get out of 2004.

But the failiure rate is also high burning DVDs to DL Aones with that drive

No over burn mecessary

OK, I burned one of the bad games again on one of my Verbatims and kprobed the discs:

Game | PI Max | PIF Max | PI Avg. | PIF Avg.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game 1, Verbatim from friend | 45 | 4 | 2,05 | 0,25
Game 2, Verbatim from friend | 48 | 6 | 2,01 | 0,31
Game 3, my Verbatim | 24 | 5 | 1,61 | 0,04
Game 1, my Verbatim | 39 | 4 | 2,10 | 0,08

Game 1 and 3 on Verbs bought from my friend have install problems, the others don't.

1st impression: PI and PIF depend a lot on the game. Even on the same type of Verbatim the values for Game 1 and Game 3 differ a lot.

2nd impression: the Verbatims I bought from my friend seem to be worse than my own. The same game has a lower PI value on my Verbs. The average PIF values are way lower on the Verbs I bought myself.

3rd impression: PIF is more important than PI. The two games having install problems have much higher average PIF values.

Now we are in trouble. Buying Verbs in stores is very expensive. But if you buy them in the web, you don't know if you will get the good ones produced in Singapore.

i thought the same thing but it actually worked great doing mine this way then did the same with my fat liteon and now it boots all my discs too i dont know if its necessary but it worked for me cause before i did this on my fat liteon it was having problems reading all my discs that i burnt now the ones that didnt work on it are booting fine with no read errors so just unplugging the ribbon is worth atleast tryin cause it actually worked just like he said

Just had the weird problem with a slim xbox 360 with a 0225 drive.. update dash to the latest 14XXX (what ever it is) and put LT3.0 on it.. old games would come up play DVD and new games will go back to the dash.. I thought that I had put the incorrect firmware on the drive but I had a few backups of the same firmware but it still did the same issue..

I didn't lock the SPI so I thought as a last go I would just lock it and see if it worked.. and it did.. I didn't think the SPI lock needed to be locked.. anyone else had this issues with the new dash & or firmware?

Cheers

PS good work CFE on the firmware..

Can someone please verify for me that LT+3.0 is ONLY for slim drives, and LT+2.0 is still the latest for other versions, so only Slim drives are using the new topology data at the moment?
