HELP Restore a Samsung MS25 from iXTREME 1.4

Post by walhaddi82 »

Hi,

I flashed my 360 yesterday to a 1.4, and my 360 never saw any LIVE action what so ever. I just want to restore it. When I look into the USB stick I used to boot the PC, I see the BACKUP folder and in that back up folder I have the folder with 1234567 and in this folder I have the 12345 folder. In this folder (12345) I have the SAM-CFW (Which I think is the hacked) and SAM-OFW (I think this is my original).
What do I do please? I am lost and need help. Do I use iPREP, but what fw do I use to load into it?

I am thinking just open iPREP. Load the SAM-OFW into iPREP, but I just tried to do that and it gives me an error in iPREP saying "NO VALID FIRMWARE LOADED" It was given me this error even when I was trying to prepare the 1.4 firmware and I don't know what is wrong.

Can someone help me please?

this works with the sam drives also not just the benq.you have to have a copy of your orig firmware.
use this guide.you do have to load a sam hacked firmware but it dont matter you are not going to use it.

Hi,
Thank you for trying to help me, but I still don't understand. I got the original and when I open iPREP and try to load my original in it, it gives me an error. What am I doing wrong?
Is it that hard to flash back a 360 SAMI drive, or I am just stupid.

Ok, hold on I went back and read your post again. You mean open iPREP and load in it ANY iXTREME firmware and then when everything is good. Open the stick and in the BACKUP folder make a 7 digit folder, then in that make a 5 digit folder and copy in it my original with the name SAM-OFW and then flash the 360?
WHat about the folder named SAM-CFW which is next to the BACKUP folder. Nothing goes in that.

Let me know and thank you in advance
