| Probutus released a new version of specially adapted Slax PC linux-bootdisc that allows you to switch the Xbox360 Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L DVD-drive to mode-b without connectivity kit (crossed-wire trick), so you can flash the DVD FW and dump discs in Windows: Quote

i'll give this a try next time i need to flash

I swear, this stuff comes in waves. With the exception of an up to date firmware for Hitachi drives, I think every major piece of software has released a new version in the past week.

Would I be right in thinking, compatability would be improved say for NForce 4 Motherboards?
Yes, it did work on my NF4 board whereas the old one didn't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just put the 360 case on top of your open computer case and they will share the same ground. Worked for me.

Turn on xbox.. quickly turn on pc..
slax asks in the very beginning to press enter to boot (seemed to work when I pressed enter but hang if I let it boot by itself... weird I know.. but it worked this way.)
got to login screen reset pc leaving xbox on...
got into windows and windows recognized drive.. NO BLINKING LIGHT???
I thought it was strange the light was never blinking at any time durring any stage.
flashed sucessfully THANK YOU!!! no more wire trick for me !
Did slax ever make the hitachi's center led blink like when the 2 wire trick is used??

Samething here, everything works perfect (mode b , flashing...) but no blinking light.
might be specific to that setup??
I guess the important one is that it works

This was my first flash as i waited till the 90 warranty. Wrote this in case someone else had something similar happen, they might want to let it boot into windows to double check for modeb.

Hi Majik, I have a motherboard (I have a MSI) with same chipset as yours (865 chipset) and a ICH5 onboard sata.

Thats means no necessary light blinking for flashing??
yesterday i tried the 2 wires trick 10 times.. but my opa 2.1 flashed dvd never blinked anymore ... dunno why
Post by: sosotiit on October 09, 2006, 09:44:00 AM
I guess I would say the light will not necessarily blink ( i have absolutely no idea the exact combination of event that make them or not). The key point is that you want mode B, so if your drive after you restart your pc is recognized by windows then it is done ( the light might be flashing or not).
Note that if you are already garyopa 2.1, I thought you could simply open your tray, disconnect the power of your x360, reconnect the power of your x360 and the drive should be in mode B. Never tried but that is what I have read around here. Certainly sounds better than the 2 wire trick.

I have just downloaded the new slax cd, connected the xbox to the computer, boot up the cd with the xbox on, I see the cd running for a couple of minutes, then it stops at a login screen, at this point I take the cd out and reboot. windows starts up and I does say windows has detected new hardware and needs to install the drivers (however this might be related to other thing that I have installed on my computer) I do not have any drivers so I do not install anything and just cancel the screen.
I tried to go into explorer and into device manager but do not see anything new drives
am I doing anything wrong, I am pretty new to this, I would appreciate any help you guys can give
BTW, I am using an asrock775dual motherboard
thanks

when i try and run slax 2.0 alpha 1, i get the bootup screen (where you type "slax irqpoll") then goes on to say loading vmlinuz and a couple of other things, then the screen goes black and nothing hapens,
if i boot with the first ver. of slax, the whole thing boots and i see the commands running through.
any ideas why slax2.0 alpha 1 won't boot??
Post by: metaphaze on December 16, 2006, 07:40:00 PM
You do realize you don't need this to update your already flashed Hitachi drives right?
If you turn on the 360 eject the tray, and with the tray ejected unplug the 360's power source, then plug it back in and turn it on your drive will be in mode b.

No wonder why I had no luck to get the drive into mode b.
Will try it later.
