im pretty sure the answer is no for dos based tools...

but any chance of supporting the usb probes like usbxtractor? having very little luck with vt6421 card inside xp, just causes system to hang....

How much space would this take up, I have a spare old 32mb USB drive that would be perfect methinks.

Hey guys. I have two copys of v1.6. and when i look inside the iso with isobuster one version has the firmware in folders and .bat files and what not. And the other version has Firmware folder with no contents visible. Now the version that has visible firmware in folders was not downloaded from xbins. But the other with visible firmware and .bat stuff was downloaded for a torrent site.

What should i be looking for inside the ISO.

Thanks.. I can post pics if you are interested

You can get 2gb drives for $10 now at best buy, walmart.....

I for one would be very willing to switch from dosflash to this for a usb based solution.
On disc I have no idea where my files are going.. USB it will all be in one safe place.

lol,
Whats funny is you can tell frosty wasnt thinking to deeply into the USB aspect... then when he tried he realized how much more responsive and easier it is to use.

Plus the fact that most PCs iwthin the past 5 years that have SATA ports will boot from "other" or usb.

New to the scene, here...hello! On to my question, I have been looking for the aforementioned "360 Modification Disc v1.6", although I read this, "Download: n/a (contains modified FWs)". What exactly does this mean? Is it illegal? If so, why? Please take great care, I am a noob and am seeking info.
Thanks!

Yes I'm asking again... Does this disc put a sammy drive into 0800 mode to unlock to drive for flashing or do I still need the activate.iso? I have one DL left so this would be helpful to know in advance. I plan on flashing this Thursday when I actually have some free time. THANKS!!

The modified firmware is considered illegal.

You are correct. DOS based tools do not have the resident drivers available to support USB-based serial cables. Unfortunately this will probably always be this way...

About 2MB (so any USB drive will work just fine).

LOL, yes you are right for the most part, I hadn't delved too deeply into USB bootable options, for a few reasons:

1. Most new modders don't understand how to create a bootable USB drive (although I will be including a really easy tutorial for doing it)

2. Not all PCs support booting from a USB drive

3. A disc just seemed so much more simple...

However, all things considered, the USB version will be the better version to use all around.

NOTE: I am planning to release the USB version, called '360 Modification USB Drive v1.6' on Friday this week. (just waiting on a few more beta tester's results)

okay so I have 1 reservation about going ahead with this. Last time i checked (which was a while ago, late last year) I had to do some sort of track cutting or soldering since I had a BenQ, so with this disc, I don't have to? It's as easy as putting the disc in and follow directions?

Just connect your 360 drive to your pc, put disc in pc and boot computer, follow onscreen directions and you're done

This disc makes flashing 360 drives SO easy! It's one reason I donated to Frosty

Tried this disc at this version wont boot, " missing operation system "

But hes 1.51 version worked flawless.

I have the same issue,but with both 1.51 and 1.6 CD's. What could be wrong?

Yes it does actually! That's pretty cool that DOS is still being developed for driver-wise... but it looks like the driver only supports Prolific-based usb-to-serial chips though, and I am not sure what comes in the CK3 Pro or the new all-in-one probe made by Maximus... (the name skips my mind at the moment...)

I would need either a CK3 Pro or Maximus' new all-in-one extractor/spear to test...

Does anyone know what chip is used by the CK3 or Maximus USB solutions?

It is a compatibility issue with your PC's BIOS.

I will be releasing '360 Modification USB Drive v1.6' this Friday, which will be a much better option than the disc version, and will fix the booting issues some users are running into.

I would wait until Friday, and try the USB version instead.

Scavx · « **Reply #43 on:** May 20, 2009, 11:09:00 AM »

Ok, then Friday it is...

Thnx for fast response!
