As my title suggests I have a MS28. Using the 10sec trick I got my orig.bin off without any problems. After flashing with hacked.bin I got E 65 with the one red light on. I tried putting back my orig.bin and it worked fine all 4 banks. I still get e65 error. re-reading the fw to orig2.bin and compaired them and they are the same. It's just not accepting the drive. I have key10-30.txt which looks fine. I am really puzzled by this, not one else seems to have had it. I have a drive i can flash and read at will, all my firmwares and key but a dead xbox.
Any help appreciated. Proper gutted at the min after a sleepless night.

i use iprep which is idump/iflash, I know it uses SAMTool and I have tried using Samtool without the bat files. What's really baffling me is why I can write my orig.bin back and all 4 banks say done and I get complete success, yet when I power on the xbox with drive attached I get E65. If I power on xbox without the drive attached it goes into my dash but obviously I have no drive available to play games.

I have just checked it out. I can actually eject the drive and everything as long as the xbox sata cable isn't plugged in when i power it up. I just know this drive is not a brick, i mean whatever I flash it with I can re-read it back off so it's go to be ok. Everything is pointing to a dodgy key extraction, has anyone ever extracted orig.bin and key and ended up with the wrong one, is this even possible?
sounds like maybe a bad dump. are you using 0800 disc to reflash? seems like firmguard now isnt letting you reflash is all.

I am using the bad flash method with a VIA 6421 PCI SATA Card so I haven't used the 0800 disc thing. How dows that work, do you think that could be my problem? I am also going to try a new SATA cable just incase.
Thanks for reply

I know I am clutching at straws now, it just seems that everything is working fine and still giving me a stupid E65 ARGH!!!!

I thought I would attach the image of my screen after a flash using the bad flash 10 second trick. Still gives me error 65 and I know the key is the right one. I have changed SATA cables and checked all connections. I don't have to put the whole thing back together for it to work do i?

did you check the new firmware in toolbox and make sure keys are exactly the same? seems like a key problem. Try going back to original and see what happens.

If it was something as simple as a key prob it would not give E65 & a red quadrant.
You only know your key is wrong when u try to boot a game & see the "to play this disc put it in an xbox360" message.
More than likely you have blown something on the drive board.
Open up the drive & remove the board.
Plug the Sata & power cable into the board & place a finger on the EliteMT chip(i think thats what its called) & if it gets hot right away replacement board needed

Anyone any ideas where I can get a replacement PCB, I have looked in usual placed. If not I guess I will have to buy the whole MS28 drive and be a little more careful with the crock clips.
