Re: Haven't flashed in a couple years: help please?

That means that your dashboard is not up to date. Update the xbox to latest dashboard and the dvd drive will take an update as well. I you flash the drive first, you will just have to reflash again afterwards. If you don't take the update, you will limit yourself to playing games that are at least ...

Re: Haven't flashed in a couple years: help please?

I don't think that's right, as this is an 83850 June 2009 drive so it doesn't need the probe, though I do have one. I'm on Windows 8 and have disabled the via drivers, my pc sees the drive, but I simply can't get it to pull a key. Perhaps Windows 8 64 bit is the issue? Any further guidance is very a...

Re: Haven't flashed in a couple years: help please?

It seems to be a June 2009 Liteon, but boy am I not having any luck via JF. Is DOSFlash still a viable option or has it been abandoned?

Haven't flashed in a couple years: help please?

I haven't done anything 360 flashing in a few years, since 2.5 was new I believe, simply haven't needed to. Now I have a friend who wants to have his older style 360 flashed. I still have my materials and such, but want to figure out what the most up-to-date/easiest method of flashing would be. Jung...

Re: Got a new mobo and such, what do I need to do to get it

My new mobo doesn't seem to be detecting my drive when connected.

Got a new mobo and such, what do I need to do to get it up..

My old mobo is fried so I've done a rebuild using the MSI Z68A-G43 mobo, still reusing my old HD and such, but now JF does not detect any drives or anything. I haven't had to update any drivers or anything in quite some time, so I'm hoping to find some guidance with regard to getting everything up-a...

Re: Retails Gears of War 3 can't boot on formerly flashed co

Update:

Did the exact same things with his Xbox, and it boots the game just fine. He is playing now. Same things on my Xbox and the game won't boot and brings me back to the dash.

Retails Gears of War 3 can't boot on formerly flashed consol

My friend and I both went and bought retail copies of GoW3, and have been trying to get them working on our modded 360 consoles. Google told me we would need to manually apply a system update, but I tried downloading that from Xbox.com and can't get it to load (I assume because I'm already up-to-dat...

Not sure whether my firmware is wrong, or something else.

I recently procured a copy of Deus Ex HR, and figured I'd update my console to the latest LT+ in order to be sure I could play it. I have a Phat Liteon 83v1 console, and updated both the ones in the house. I tried burning the game 3 times, and none of them functions, giving me open-drive when in the...

Can't get Lite-on 8 series to flash with Win7, worked on XP

I flashed all types of drives for friends for a few years, and though it took a bit of tweaking at times, I was always able to get to the bottom of it after a bit of time. I use a P5Q Pro motherboard with a via card installed and the CK3 Pro. I stopped flashing drives for anyone probably the last ye...

Re: Activte.iso will not work as shown

Well, I thought for sure I was on 1.6, but you are correct, I was apparently not, as I reflashed and it worked fine.

Thanks, guess I'm just dumb (and have too many boxes floating around).

Yep, I don't use any media other than Verbatim. This console has never had any media in it that wasn't retail or verbatim.
