Thanks opa: It was hard to find that button with the 360 dissambled, I get different type of error codes, for example the first time I got 1023 and now I got 0102, thanks!

thanks for your help, but I don't have any idea where the sync button is, by the way my controller is wired. Thks

I got 3 red light the only one not flashing is the top right... I have no picture so I don't seen any error code... Anyone knows what's going on with my xbox?

I just opened my xbox 360 and took the dvd drive out of the box.. I turned on the xbox 360 without the dvd drive inserted on the console and didn't freeze..
Now i'm thinking that my dvd drive is bricked.. Because it only freezes with the dvd drive connected

Thank you for your responses

at least you can play, i can't even play for 1 minute, im gonna try with my orig firmware

I don't thinik is an overheating problem because i've played for hours and hours and let it the xbox powered on all day long and never got a problem until now... The first time it freezed was like 10 minutes after playing..

Anyone knows what happened to my xbox?? anyone knows what can i do to resolve this?

This is weird... my xbox 360 freezes, I can't play my original games, sometimes it freezes playing the game or when the game starts. I flashed my xbox several times. but this problem started like 2 weeks after i flashed it... If I flash my xbox with the original firware will it work again like before?

What's the name of your package?

Drive is in Mode B, it does show up in windows and it takes two presses to close the tray. The first time I flashed the drive was with xtreme 1.1 then I restored and flashed with xtreme 1.3. hitachi 47d and yes I shut down all the background programs.

Regards,

Matias

v2.2r3 didn't recognize my hitachi either 

 
Hi, I have tried to flash my hitashi drive with birdy flasher 2.2 but when I open the flasher it doesn't recongnize the xbox drive, even though windows does. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

Holy crap!

I didn't know that firmware was outdated. Maybe that's the reason I'm getting the dirty disc error.
Thanks Marc

Disregard. I flashed my hitachi 47d with extreme 1.1 firmware. My motogp back up doesn't work, the xbox gives me the dirty disc error, I'll keep trying.

Yes. I finally connected the xbox 360 to my computer. It took me like a week, but I did it, thanks to chaos.
Now: I have another problem; while connected to my pc, my 360's cd rom keeps opening by itself, I can't get it to keep it closed, this is really weird.
Plus, I can't find firmcrypt in the web.
I have the firmware, memdump, flashsec, but I'm missing firmcrypt.
There are my two problems now.
If anyone can help, it'll greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ok. I downloaded the new liv-cd.iso, and managed to put it in mode b. Windows recognized the drive and assigned a letter to it. Now, I will pass to the firmware step.

Thanks for the help and writing such an excelent tutorial.

Chaos;

Thanks for your response. I'm currently downloading the live-cd, so I'm going to try again with this new iso.
Also, in your tutorial says to insert the modprobe-command:

modprobe usb-storage fix_inq_vendor_id=0x152d fix_inq_prod_id=0x2338

How do I know my fix_inq_vendor_id and fix_inq_prod_id???

Thank you very much for your patience, I hope you have a great holiday.

Thanks for the tutorial

I followed it step to step, and couldn't get my machine on mode b. The error message says command not found, but I don't understand why. I'm stucked with the sata to usb kit, can't see my hitachi 47 in windows.
Help will be very greateful

Thanks

I tried to burn with the original firmware and failed, but the dvds were memorex, not verbatim.

It suddenly stops burning. At first was 15%, then 25%, then 3% and 50% last
I have a nec3550A with lilis firmware and I use the latest clone cd with verbatim dvds.

HEEEEEEEELLLPPPPP

What should I do??

Hello!

I just bought the USB2.0 to SATA CABLE kit. The problem is that my computer running windows xp doesn't detect the drive.
I have an hitachi 47d, and nothing happens when I connect the kit from my xbox cd rom to my usb port in my computer.
Please help!!
Thanks
