Title: Firmware Flashing Problem Hitach 0079. Is My Passkey Not Installed Rig
Post by: jesuscakes on February 02, 2020, 07:21:00 PM

Okay so I soldered on my passkey properly(I believe) via the ribbon install. I then booted up my 360 with the drive connected and hit eject. I then connected the SATA to my mobo.

I insert a game and it detects the drive.

After about 10-15 seconds though the drive automatically ejects the disk and the light on the passkey starts flashing. FW Toolbox says the drive cannot be read. Is the install wrong or what?

I am totally stumped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Bad install

What part of the install is bad?

It looks completely fine under a magnifying glass and what not.

Doesn't sound like a bad install to me. Make sure you press eject twice then the dvd or game in the drive will stay closed spinning while you read the firmware.

My 79FL would only be readable under windows if I started the 360's drive power with a disk already in it and the drive closed, and once that was going then turned on the PC to boot windows at which point it detected the drive (I'm no fan of screwing with a drive's power once the OS is already running.) Even then I had to repower the drive it a bunch of times before I got the proper passkey's light flash and the disk spinning up (to insane speeds), but once that happened I boot windows and it detected along the boot process and dumped like a charm via maximus toolbox.
