Possibility getting fake or wrong DVD key?

[commando_lee]

because to many people have come with with problems and each time they come back with that key, if i reneber right it has part of the string init.

[intheshade]

wow this is horrible.

[louisM92]

so would it be a good idea to write that key down to match it up with any keys i do get off a 83850 i come accross?

[commando_lee]

logic would say so. Its always a good idea to have a test drive to flash the key to test with before you erase that drive

[hockees]

so how can i get a test drive and from where ! and do i have to get the same brand that my dvd has ?

Its almost impossible to get a bad key from a drive. Its not like M$ loads the drives with all kinds of fake keys trying to make it harder to flash. There is 1 key in 1 location on your drive, seems to me this fake key comes from an error with JF or iPrep. Just make note of this key, if you get it, you will know you got a bad key, if you are still scared, just spoof the key into a spare drive, and test it.

plz guys i didnt get an ansnwer for my question , do i need to get the same brand drive to test it on , my drive is lite-on 83850 , so do i need to get the same lite-on 83850 or i can do it on 7.... or other brands.

[commando_lee]

you can use any other 360 drive if its differnt you will just need to spoof the information

I have that key writen down on a peice of paper which is taped down to my desk, now i can easily compare the key i get from a drive with this one thanks for the heads up on the fake key commando

Yep, I used JF and pull the keys 3 times and it came back with the same key all 3 times. So I was pretty sure its was the right key and went ahead to flash my liteon. Bam, now it won't play orig. or backup game. So I DL hex editor and open the dummy.bin and it shows nothing but 00's. I went back in to JF and open the dummy.bin and all the info. is there with the dvd key. I will post bad key later. When I used JF, I checked dummy.bin only so no other files were generated. Is there a way to get ident, inquiry, key..bin from the dummy.bin?

I used JF to pull the key and build the cfw and to flash or write I used dosflash. My first thought was maybe a bad flash so I flashed again again same results.

Your console is done my friend. We did try and tell you guys that it was a bad key. Without a good key then your console is a dvd player. sorry


POST they key you got on here. Lets just hope it was a bad flash and the just never copied over

ight man, first off, i would use iPrep 10.7 to do this. that version of iPrep is ridiculously easy to use with the 83850 drive. you don't need a com port or anything else other than the sata connection. second, follow the on screen instructions from iprep and you should be good money. iPrep isn't going to turn up a "fake" key for that drive because you don't have to do anything else to get the key for examlple, use a probe, solder or bridge a connection. all you do is a couple of tray adjustments and you're done. and like i said iPrep walks you through it. you really can't fail on this one. it's almost more easy than flashing a samsung drive.

also, just a side note, i hate jungleflasher, to many steps for no reason. i only use it for hitachi drives. i recommend using iPrep 10.7. . .

[djshauny1]

Yeah id go with iprep aswell for these drives
Can u show us your key??

Hey commando, dont mean to hijack the thread but how can you tell if its a fake key?

lol i think hes answered that all ready, if he says it fake, i believe him....but like the other poster says if you havnt got another drive to spoof the key in then you dont really know its fake until you brick your drive....so this key , this fake key...is always the same ? ie 140F0F1011B5223D79587717FFD9EC3A it will always be this ?

apparently yes its the same, not 100% sure on this but the only way to be sure is test on another drive
