Depends what drive you have - if your using it just for power then there shouldn't be any issues

gigabite

theres a post on here - use the search function...the poster uploaded the PIC code and all the info as well

gigabite

The consoles are not downgradable due to the fact that they have a new 2BL version

gigabite

no, you cannot downgrade it

gigabite

yes...after you have made that firmware, go Tools > Direct Drive Flash > first do the key...then do the spoof, THEN proceed to hack it

gigabite

it says "no ethernet cable" on the screen ?......you want help provide me with pics of your work

gigabite

just because it's not stated publicly does not mean it's not true - anyway...I will not explain banning and crap like that again...believe who/what you want to believe and don't ask (violate the TOS agreement and expect whatever you get)

gigabite

they can't....end of story

gigabite

Open fw toolbox...open the firmware you want the key from, highlight it and press copy - now open the firmware you want that key to be in...go to the key box and press paste, then press replace key, after that go Tools > Spoof Firmware and spoof it as whatever drive you originally had in there - then flash that

gigabite

^^ well actually you can....the firmware itself is not detected among other things, e.g - if you disconnect your drive or lets say you do an incorrect spoof, or better yet lets say you play an un-stealth ed game...your console has logged it (SECDATA.BIN) and has sent it to M$, so your awaiting a ban...but there are ways around it

gigabite

^^ you gotta be kidding...it's been out for agggggges

gigabite

define brick...

gigabite

alright yeap it's a BenQ, pull out all your IDE and SATA cables and only plug the SATA cable in on your VIA card (btw which one do you have because certain models only work with flashing on certain ports)

gigabite

and your sure it's a BenQ and not the new un-flash able drives which look very similar to a BenQ ?

gigabite

ones white ones silver :O no way

gigabite

turn on the 360 before you launch dosflash...then when you get mtk vendor intro failed retry...press yes....it will scroll through numbers, at this point turn the 360 off - then turn it back on it and should pick up the drive and go from there

gigabite

sweet thanks (good work!!)...feel like probing to see which pins what ?

gigabite

^^ 100% wrong...ceramique is NOT an adhesive, it is something I used on the 360 and it has no adhesive properties at all...and it's not permanent, and no with excessive amount of heating and cooling ceramique does not "loosen" - because it's not an adhesive

this is an adhesive (http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_thermal_adhesive.htm)

gigabite

ya...well there are lots of "rules" to avoid if but if you have an infectus it's easy beat-able

gigabite

hmm...not bad (custom made or PC?) - does the drive still fit inside the case ? what are your temps and how are you measuring ?
