Here is my situation:
I have an NFORCE SATA chipset MSI / NEO4 MB
Samsung MS25 DVD drive
I ran Xtreme boot maker on a flash drive with Xtreme 4.2 A .
I rebooted my system, ran samread no problem then ran samhack again appears not to have a problem. It did not give any errors and showed I think 4 different banks being flashed Again it looked like it should have ( I think )
I had two ISOs I burned . 1 with Pioneer 111D , 1 with Plextor 740. Neither boot correctly. Both of these ISOs supposedly were ready to be burned with Clone CD with no other intervention needed ( If you know what I mean (wink wink)). Blank media was Verbatim.
Both burns go to the dash and say open tray .
I went back and tried to hook up the DVD drive again, but long story short: I am getting Status = 51 should be 70 . I cant read, write, or do anything with the DVD drive now The Xbox boots my originals fine though, so its not bricked, but what should I do???? How can I tell for sure if the DVD drive is truly updated with the xtreme firmware?? How can I change the firmware to 4.2b ( if you think this will help ) ?
Any help would be appreciated!
FIRST OFF PIRACY IS NOT LEGAL AND NOT ALLOWED TO BE TALKED ABOUT HERE ON X-S !!! you more than likely will be muted for this statement you said..
I am going to answer your question..
originals work so the flash went 100%
now since you did not back up the image yourself then who knows what is wrong with the image.
you need to have the .dvd file with it and load that in clonecd not just burn the iso image!
you will have to read more i guess!
next thing.. it flashed correctly because now it is not seen in mtkflash... the reaon for this.. IF YOU WOULD HAVE READ THE TUTORIALS!!! is because you HAVE TO BURN THE enable 0800.iso file to a DUAL LAYER DVD then use that to UNLOCK the dvd drive from now on before flashing or reading or BACKING UP YOUR OWN GAMES!!! AGAIN THIS IS ALL IN THE TUTORIALS!
you are good to go.. I would not mess with anything.
you screwed up burning thats it. read up on how to backup a 360 game and how to burn one.

ok guys the answer to your problems is U NEED TO BURN ENABLE 0800 WITH CLONECD I RECENTLY HAD TEH EXACT SAME ERROR AS ALL U GUYS WITH MY SAMMY i used alcohol to burn enable 0800 use clonecd insert for 10 secs and bobs ya mothers brother
Ok do i put the dvd in wait 10 sec and eject, or do i leave the dvd in the drive when i try to flash? Would i put in a origanal dvd and then the bunt one so i can get past the unreadable part?
What is that part "i used alcohol" ?
Can you give me step by step please.

GREAT NEWS!
The rubberband trick fixed all my ills and problems! Backups are working flawlessly now! I am assuming if I want to change the firmware it will work fine with the 0800 DVD now that the rubberband is in place..
AMAZING...A silly little piece of rubberband (IMG:

good for you talonz...
i also fix my problem, by powering on without the dvd connected to the pc and typing mtkflash w /m play.bin. then connecting the dvd and typing it again.
