bad flash

[mitford]

I had a bad flash when using jungle flasher earlier my computer froze.
so after doing a few things i have got jungle flasher to recognise the drive (which will not play any games at all)

I have the original firmware and they key for the drive how easy wil it be to rescue it ?

[blakey_8]

Very easy, all you need to do is open the original firmware file (or spoof the key into a hacked firmware) and press flash.

[mitford]

Even if the drive has nothing on it at all?

[blakey_8]

Yes it's possible because you already have the key. What drive is it?

[mitford]

benq, im just gonna have a qiuck go at it now

[blakey_8]

Did you totally erase the drive? If you did, you will need to flash the drive using DOS Flash or the recovery option in iPrep.

I think ive done it blakey does this look ok and updated to 1.51

it is playing original and back ups

Sending Vendor Outro to port 0xEE00

Its very hard to brick a 360, 9/10 its recoverable with DOS even if the firmware has been erased, and yes that's fine mate

[blakey_8]

That's a successful flash mate, congratulations .

[mitford]

If someone else gets the same problem as me and gets to the stage where the drive is not detected or will not open or close rather then using iprep or dos and following a long list of instructions as i have been reading over the last 24hrs.

All i done to get the drive readable and be able to eject the disc was to run the 360 modification disc 1.51 which did freeze but allowed me to get jungle flash to read it the drive and get it into vendor mode so that i could load the original firmware
