save it to your desktop. this is probobly a .rar file you need winzip or winrar. right click file on your desktop and select open program with.... and select winrar or winzip the file will open click extract and note where the file is extracting too, open that folder and click the executable .exe.

also what dvd drive do u have in ur xbox? cause it does matter and the benq and lite-on are identical the only difference is the model number on ur dvd drive once its out of ur xbox and the other way is to take the faceplate off the xbox and look in the small hole under the dvd drive and see what color wires u have if there yellow u have the new lite-on which requires the ck3 and probe, if there white u got benq. flash a light in the small hole and see what color they are unless you know its another drive you never said what drive it was.

ur lucky u dont have the new lite-on it sux. limewire seems to have a lot of viruses. if ur running vista and ur sure it is a safe file right click the file and say run as administrator. i ended up getting my firmware from xbins after not being able to find any other reliable sources. you can access xbins through mIRC and transfer files using flashfxp there both fast downloads and free.

what type of file did u download from limewire? right click it and click properties then details then look at type

I got ixtreme to work.. I was looking at the jungle flasher and 2 things. http://www.360mods.n...ngleFlasher.pdf
1 on page 20 it says i don't need to unlock it because i have ms25.. so where to i skip until

2it says I'm gonna burn something and put it in my xbox drive on page 22
I don't have a dual layer yet i just wanted to flash it

this site shows something else  is it cause this site uses iprep?? if so im gonna use i prep  and ixtreme instead of jungleflasher
http://www.crospecta...ead.php?t=15093



when I ordered all the stuff i was planing on using this tutorial i dont have a dual layer burner  but i got the mem pen drive dvd drive sata cable and sata chip set and I'm guessing the driver that came with jungleflasher (port032) is ok??



so far ive downloaded firmtool iprep 101 ixtreme jungle flasher and port032


i know im almost clue less can some 1 clue me in

is porto32 the via sata 6421a driver?

Please note, unmodified Samsung MS25’s have no FirmGuard therefore do not need an unlock method to be applied, simply click Intro / DeviceID and check flash chip properties for status 0x70.

The drive should be in Vendor Mode (0x70) now and return good flash chip properties; you can check under Flash Chip Properties, Drive Properties should show “Drive in Vendor Mode!”.

if ur sammy is showing it is in vendor mode by checking flash chip properties
, then u start at the part of the tutorial where it says "Reading the Firmware From the Drive". as for which tutorial u want to use its completely up to u and which one u feel more comfortable with. if u dont have a dvd+r dl burner u cannot burn xbox 360 games, ull either have to purchase one or find someone who does and get them to burn em for u. also it was telling u to burn a disk just as a way to unlock ur sammy through jungle flasher and there was two other ways also not using any media (dvd+r dl) but u said u didnt have to unlock ur drive anyways so that would be useless. check ur flash chip properties with sammy connected through SATA in jungle flasher. portio is not the drivers for your VIA card. google search
via sata 6421a drivers and download drivers from manufacturer web-site.
