Problem with flashing Samsung

[rpacf808]

I'm having problems flashing my Samsung MS28 drive. Here is what I've done. I am using iPrep ver. 008.8 and iXtreme 1.5 - 12x. I am able to boot off my usb and successfully read and write the firmware. My problem is when I tried to play games (retail and burned) I get a "to play disc, put in an xbox 360 console). The drive worked fine prior to my attempt to update the firmware. I have also tried the drive in another console with the same results. I have also tried an older version of firmware (1.4 - 8x) with the same results.

man if it wont even play a orig game then there is something wrong with the key.
it may have the wrong one or some thing.

at this point
i would flash it be orig firmware and just get it play orig games
then start over after that.

same results.

yeah man thats weird. dump the drives key a couple times and compare, i mean hopefully it didnt brick your drive.

For now, I'd check the original key is good. Also

Make sure your backup games are stealth patched.
Also, it sounds more like a bad laser. I don't think the drive is bricked though. Try to adjust the DVD pot laser or replace the old laser with a new one.

Hey R3n you should have started your own thread, but it's cool. Use the same method as doing the CFW, make a copy of the OFW and rename it i think....sam_cfw.bin and put on the flash drive. Do the Fsam 1234567 12345 and when prompted type sam_cfw.bin. if you need anything just post up or start a new thread.
