Then you probably got a bad flash. I asked you that in an earlier post and you said it was playing originals. I would make sure you got the fw key with fw toolbox and then try to flash it again.

ok man at this point you should stop.

the next thing you need to do is get it playing orig games again.
do this restore.

This will only work if you have a good key in you orig firmware.
if you did not check the key after the dump.You could be in for bad new if it dumped a bad key.

When you turn on the 360, and it comes to the dash board is it giving you a error.

The recover flash suggestion above is relevant & your 1st port of call but I need to make you aware of this also..

The L-Bend sata cables on the 360 are delicate!

I've had several people now bring boxes to me that they have attempted to flash but think they failed because when they connect everything back together to test they can't boot games.

Obviously the 1st thing I check is the dumps/keys etc. & most of the time that’s the route to fixing.

However.. in some cases everything checks out from a successful flash point of view - so I check the cable.

Here's what happens.. people open the box - pull the cables out & attempt a flash, then put the L-Bend cable back in & test a game - if something is not right - panic usually creeps in & the cable comes out again & the process is repeated - sometimes several times in haste & flurry!

What I usually do is test with another cable to check if that's the source of the problem.
When a cable has been damaged I have always been able to get it working - I haven’t had to discard 1 yet.
You just have to take extra care to make sure it is connected right.
Or - in some cases / turn it round & swap ends - drive end to board / board end to drive.


I'm not 100% saying this is the problem you have... check the dump/key 1st - use recover if necessary ;)
I’m merely explaining that I have had a handful repairs along those lines.
So make sure the cable is connected properly & be careful not to damage it whilst disconnecting or reconnecting your drive.
