Ok so i follow instructions to the T but i am unable to get out of Status : 0x7F

I made sure xbox was off... hit y at resend.. turn on xbox... 10 sec.. then off...10 sec than back on

Status never changes from 0x7F... i was expecting it to switch to 0x51 and 0xD1 when i powered on xbox but status still remained the same. Time to order the via chip ?

well you can try this but dont hold your breath.
try a different flash drive or a floppy.
if that dont do any thing order the card.

just ordered VIA VT6421A from tekgems.. project is on hold until shipment comes in.. How long does shipping usually take? Im in texas

Depends on what shipping method you chose. Standard shipping is by first class postal mail and could take up to a week or maybe a little longer. UPS Ground shipping generally takes 3-5 days and so on down the list.

i want my via ! ! lol

Ok stupid me. After looking at my motherboard i have two sets of sata ports.. one for the silicon image and one for the Nforce chipset. i was plugging into the silicon image set so i then plugged into the correct ports and i was able to get a dump with a Green Success! Woooo

So i took the dump (CFW and OFW) put them in firmtool and the keys match and its not a lot of the same number or letter. Should i proceed with the flashing ?

on a side note.. after booting into iprep, when i hit y at the resend part.... i turned on the xbox and within 4 seconds it read all 4 banks and gave me the success message.. i didnt even have to do that ten second deal. I want to proceed with flashing but i wanted to verify with u guys first. Thx

it looks good to me
as long as you checked the dump for a good key it should be good.

if by chance you are flash a v25 for the first time you dont have to do the 10 sec trick.
from now on you will.
if you are flashing a v28 and did not have to do the 10sec trick that is weird

so now that i checked my dump.. once i boot into iprep am i going to have to start from scratch and re-read my drive? or will it go straight into firmtool ?

after it dumped firmtool should have run and built your hacked firmware.
watch the video

you should just start at the flash part

first i want to thank all you guys who helped me out. i was able to flash my drive, and backups are working. Looks like nforce sata will work with phillips/benq, just make sure your plugged into the right port. Thx guys !

some of them will work.
i still think getting this card is the best thing to do for most.
