Ok later when I get home I will "explain" all the things in mulleter for teh average joe to understand (if you don't already)....the latest version of MULLETER is 10.2 BETA - basically - you should check your games for "stealthness" with MULLETER and you should also use kreon checker in conjunction...if your getting "scene" releases do not play them before they are released...and play games wich are the same region you could buy in your local shop (what i'm trying to say is not all games that you can get at your local shop are "region free"...so it sticks out to M$) then again, rembering; use on LIVE at your own risk

hahah I have some blue wire in my stash too

gigabite

IMHO this un-banning stuff is stupid and impractical

gigabite

alright late tomorrow i'll get to work on "joining the dots" (dam I new someone would say it : p - though it never said I couldn't ask for help ) - err whats going on with me "ghetto giggles" (did I miss something?)

gigabite

to be clear robinsod did not send me ANYTHING - now I have built my board with cardboard (looks pethetick) and hot glued on the components so there not loose - I followed ChipD's rig exactly - now I need to connect all the components but because I don't want to screw anything up - and I am using cardboard (as apposed to PCB wich is alot neater) I have stopped...this is my board:



and this is the bottom



Now basically i'd like if someone could "join the dots" (sorry for the crappy quality pic..don't have the good cam) for me ??

gigabite

Yes sorry forgot to point that out !

gigabite

stop the press !! - ok - well, seeing as I have ALREADY spent my money and got the components (and I never like to waste anything), I re-thought it and i'm going to go ahead and make it...BUT...I will be using a new type of PCB...it's called BCB - it stands for Brown Card Board - wich I will be using as my PCB So, as I have just come online [power was out for 6 hours for repairs) I will get some diagrams and start soldering - assuming I build it correctly I will ha.......give you an update later

gigabite

You can play non stealth (or stealth) back-ups offline with the ethernet cable plugged in AS LONG as you don't actually connect to LIVE

^^ he didn't, he bought it like that

Maximus released 360 Firmware Toolbox v4.6 - a graphical tool to handle several common dvd-drive firmware tasks. iXtreme v1.4 is added including for Hitachi-LG v78 and v79 (only with passkey for now) drives.

gigabite (cheers good work mate)

Just re-dump your current firmware again - get a key less one from TMF's website (http://teammodfreakz.hostwq.net/_menue/Firmware.php) insert your key...wala you have orig.bin

gigabite

ok well...maybe it's not flashed but - what I was going to say was...the reason it might not be opening is because the owner has tried to put the drive into modeB with the "2-wire trick" - but - what has happened is he's mixed up the wiring and instead of doing it right hes sent (if I rember correctly) 12v to the south bridge...and killed it of basically opening any dvd drive again...so the DVD drive is fine...but the SB is your problem - you can test if this is true by throwing in a working drive and seeing if it ejects - and the only fix is to replace the whole SB (wich probably isn't going to happen...it's not easy)

when your getting the 2RL the Xbox 360 motherboard has all screws screwed in (except the 6 long case screws) to the ground shield ? Or it's still all in the case when it does the 2RL ?

gigabite

Yeap...I have still been searching just to let you all know, and every shop I have gone to is now either closed down or moving to another shop (meaning there is only like 2 shelves of stuff) - in the mean time i'm working on 2 more projects [could anyone PM me with a site where I can get dead cheap XCM Black Night case from ?]

gigabite

That video is ridiculously stupid....follow what I said and you shouldn't get 3RL (if done properly)...you can't put an estimate on death

gigabite

Is it a Hitachi drive by any chance ??

gigabite

You DO need to spoof the drive (regardless of if you want to go on XBL) but only if the drive your putting into your 360 is different than the origional drive you had in there

gigabite

^^no probs

yeap (i dunno about the command) but you can do it a $#!tload easier...make your hacked firmware and insert the key into it (do whatever spoof you need if need be) then use fw toolbox to flash it instead...once you have the drive hooked up you can go Tools> Direct Drive Flash> Differential Flash ... and following all the prompts etc...much easier

gigabite

Are you sure the tray isn't being blocked from opening (try it with the case off) ??
