Common Q/A for 360 modding

Post by CoFree »

Staff just edit my post if you want to add something.
Then just post a bump thread.


Guys lets put together a Q/A thread.
What i'm thinking is just some question and answer to try and help the guys out.
Like the A&Z of modding that J-man started.

1.What sata port do i use.
Most of the time you will use the sata port that in closest to the front of the computer.(inside the computer)
If that port does not work and you have tried everything then try the other sata ports.

2. Will my on-board sata ports work on my via chipset mother board
Most of the time NO the on-board sata ports will not work.There are a slim few that are lucky enough for theres to work.
Most of us get a PCI sata card like this one.

3. What chipset will work to flash my 360 dvd drive
There are 4 DVD drives used in a xbox 360 console.
The hit drives can be flash from in windows which means just about any computer will flash then with the right tools.
The samsung dvd drive can be flash with a VIA 6421A or L chipset.There are some other one but they are not used by many.
The BenQ and lite-on dvd drive can be flash with a VIA6421A or L and SOME nFORCE chipset

4. Can I play my modded or flashed 360 on xbox live.
Yes
There is a little more to it though.If you play on live with a modded xbox360 you run the risk of getting banned.

5. Should i take the Game updates off of a backup disc.
I try to get the update off a original 360 game.If for some reason i cant use the original disc then i will use the backup.
I have had no problem so far taking the update from a backup.

6. What will get me banned from xbox live.
If you mod or flash your dvd drive that could get you banned.
Most of us think it's the backup that get you banned.
I believe that playing downloaded game of any kind (even from pay sites) up your odds of getting banned.

7. How do I backup my games for safe use?
The safest method is with a SH-D162C (or similar) drive flashed to Kreon v1.00
Check the image like this viewtopic.php?f=110&t=415
If it all passes, you are good to go.

8. What do I do if I can't get my USB flash to boot?
Check that your BIOS supports booting from USB first. Also try and find out if the flash can boot from DOS.
You can also use a floppy, but make sure your floppy drive and and disk are ok before you try this.
There is a NTFS for DOS CD that a couple of members have used in the past.

9.Can I set Iprep up on another computer other than the one I am flashing with?
No. When Iprep sets up your USB flash (and sets DOSFlash to look for your SATA card), it sets it up to the I/O addresses on that computer. So even if you set it up using the same card, and then put the card in the target computer, it's likely that the I/O address for the port is different.

10. Why does my pc freeze with via card when using Jungle Flasher

it is caused by the via card drivers....
goto device manager and locate via sata card,click disable.
goto windows/system32/drivers and locate the viamraid.sys file
rename it to viamraid.bak,this is easier for when you want to re-install driver..then just rename back to .sys extension
then return to device manager and click enable on via card.you should see a yellow triangle next to it,this is good.
reboot pc,and check for yellow triangle again,just to make sure..
hook drive up and open jungleflasher and it wont freeze!!!! sorted
Do not do this fix on a pc that has a via chipset on the mother board.You can not Disable the mobo driver.

Update- added 8 and 9

will think of a few things tomorrow, try and add a few more...

with all the tutorials you've done in the past, it's kind of hard to find a way that a question hasn't already been answered!
