Re: is my drive dead?
Hard to say if you killed the drive or not but probing r707 is no longer gonna work for you if you are running s dash 13599 or newer. Have a read in the tutorial section. There is a tut on how to make a homemade probe as the one u have needs to be tweaked to work. Also inside the jungleflasher rar there is a tut inside you may wanna read. If the dash is 13599 your drive is no longer has 7 series fw on it it now would be 0251 so you will need to flash it as such. Make sure you get the drive key if you dont have it . The drive can always be replaced but to buy a new drive and have somebody pull the key from the mobo is costly.
