Title: Lite On Drive Not Working Before I Can Get Started

Are you sure at no point you didn't plug something in backwards?

I'm pretty sure that I didn't connect anything backwards, but maybe I did and I don't realize it.  But the drive does not seem to be functioning.  My bios does not detect it anymore.  Is my xbox done?


I booted the Iextrme 1.52 iso.

Did you erase the firmware? They tend to behave like that with an erased firmware. If you erased the firmware you are screwed, as the DVD key was on there.

Did you read the tutorials?
Look at http://jungleflasher.../downloads.html
Liteon is flashable (74850C)
There is no 1.52 firmware. It goes 1.5 1.51 1.6
You want 1.6 get it from a trusted source like xbins.

Use jungleflasher, nice and easy.

Your drive wont eject if either it is erased, or you have fried the board. If you sent L-O-ERAS that could be why.

thanx jt1.  It's possible that I sent an erase command.  I never flashed the drive and I never dumped any information from it either.  Is there anyway that I can put a clean factory flash on the drive still.  How can I get my drive to be read?  thanx again.

If you erased it and didnt dump the dummy firmware over serial then you have just wrecked your xbox and it wont ever play games off dvds again.

No you cant play games/iso from hdd just xbox live games you brough over live.

try and dump key again see if it 77777s or some other none random number if it is then yes it is fucked
you may of sent earse comand and it may not of earsed it does look to be in vendor mode of earsed
try and pull key would be my advice at this point
open drive in jf see if it finds it i assume you meant the 360 mod disk version 1.52 not ix 152 as that dosent exist which puts the files in C:\LONFILES on hard drive normaly so you may of dumped key there but i would assume you would need serial lead to even get drive working with  that method
have look in that folder i listed see if files there if not right click drive click search then type dummy in there
if it finds that file then you can fix drive easy  but if you dont have the file and jf wont find key off drive which you would need some form of probe to get then it is fubar ..


if by some miracle you can get the key make sure and make copys of it

wow that really sux.  I never dumped anything from the 360 drive.. So it looks like I'm out of luck..  And that is because I didn't read ALL the tut's.  Is there anything useful I can use this 360 for at this point?

In the folder I was able to see identify.bin and query.bin.  That's it

You have just learned a very expensive lesson.

When you get your next 360 PLEASE READ EVERYTHING!! Read everything there is no know about everything before you touch the drive. Get Jungle Flasher and read the tutorial for it a thousand times.

Don't forgot you will also need to buy an extractor to get the drive key before you take your new console apart as well.

More than a little frustrating to come here all the time and see all these people killing their consoles because they want to assume they know what they are doing when in fact they don't have a clue.

Well, the good thing is someone gave me 360.  It sux that a perfectly 360 is goin in the trash.. Oh well.  could be worse.  Frustrating for me probably more than you.. lol



I agree. I didn't mean to offend you and I know your loss but its just a little frustrating cause 99% of bricked consoles should never be bricked if people did some more research before taking their consoles apart.

But good this is that I am 100% sure you will not make this mistake again so at least you are moving forward.

Or flash it with the 0800 firmware so you can rip games to your computer. And just keep the rest of the console to play movies over the network and xbox live arcade games.

Alright, so it's not a total waste then.. Ripping games to my computer isn't a bad thing.  But, how can I get any firmware to this thing if my computer bios doesn't even detect it anymore?   thanx for all the info


You need to use dosflash and it helps to know what port it is on.

Y9ou can get info on how to flash in dos using THIS link.

You wont need to worry about any drive keys and such. Just flash you drive with the Liteon 0800 firmware.
