CODE
STEALTH STEP FAILED
But All other flashing 100
Will Exit now
I was able to boot my games just fine (haven't made any backups yet).
My first instinct was to restore to original and try again, but when I try to restore I cannot get past the unstealth step of the BAT file. This is what I get
CODE

I dont have any experience with these drives, but dont you need to have a special disk in its drive to put the drive into 0800 state (or something like that) to disable the flashguard so you can flash a diff fw to it?
that's only samsung drives. They use Slax or 2 wire trick for these drives. i wouldnt feel safe with that drive not doing the stealth part and using backups on live.

But would you feel safe using original copies on live?
yeah originals yes. I'm sure there is a way to fix the stealth part on yer drive. try using toolbox 4.5 to restore it then reflash with it

Did you start the flash process with a DVD in the drive?
I flashed the Hitachi 78 with Rainbow Six Vegas in the drive, work flawlessly.
Without stealth I would NOT play any games online or offline, get the stealth fixed ASAP.
My Hitachi drive with no stealth using stealth backups offline was banned, I flashed a Samsung MS-25 with stealth firmware back in Feb and it still hasn't been banned. It is not even on iXtreme firmware.
Basically the way I see it: No stealth = ban for sure, Stealth = lower chance of ban.

That's because the older hitachi firmware didn't USE the stealth in the backups. It simply did not read the SS/DMI/PFI.
And he is using the batchfiles, and not toolbox like you did with the 78 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
But to the OP
If you have a good original firmware (was.bin) Do a differential flash with toolbox (requires a movie or original game in the xbox drive) Read the tutorial within the toolbox pack.
After it's back to original, flash it with toolbox. I think you might have a better chance with toolbox then with the bach files.

I opted for the Toolbox suggestion, but upon flashing it returned a verify error, I selected retry 3 times and each time got the flashing verification error. I could do nothing more than give it a try, but unfortunately it was a gonner. It now won't eject and is bricked.
Fortunately I have the key, and a Samsung MS28 is on its way from Hong Kong, which will be key injected and spoofed when it arrives. I should have stuck with my gut instinct and left well alone, but the guy was insistant that he wanted to take the risk.
