I fuked up :O , I connected drive addon board to pc and usb to 360usb, and molex connector from molex spliter, as i turned on there was a smokey smell, like the one that on fire O_o I was like "oh shit" and turned of pc striaght way, I tryed another molex connector but i think the connectivty thing is fuked, there no light or no power I try switching the switchy thing on, and pressing eject and mode b but the buttons do nothing and i can't see anything drive, :cry: the usb thing seem to be thing but it don't seem to see the sata

Um i think that i put the dvd drive power connector - pcb board in the wrong way round, -_-.

Dang man, I hate that it happened. Those connectors are supposed to be slotted to where they can only fit one way. But if you have it upside down and press it in, it will fit..... You probably didn't even get a dump of that drive yet either......

thats the thing i knew what it was straight away as i took out the connector, i relise it the upside down way, sigh... thats what i get for not taking my time, no i wasn't able to get into window i just going to check the connector with the hard drive and try that for now.

I guess the drive is fritzed then? it says undreadble disc in dashboard and does not eject? no way of getting the key off the board now?

Unfortunately, there isn't anyway of getting the info of the drive.... and to make matters worse, you have to have a working drive to be able to use the timing attack, so you wouldn't even be able to get the key off the 360 motherboard. There are other ways around this though if you stop and think about it. I can't tell you what it is here though.

Thats right. an example of one would be something like this:
8EABC9AF6B084C4B6BA1B63DA902E8D6

It should appear as random numbers and characters, but not have a lot of repeating characters or all the same characters, like all F's, 0's or 7's.

RIght. Create your custom firmware, and then flash it and you should be all set considering you kept the firmwares and keys straight as to which one goes where and all. It can be a bit confusing sometimes, but once you do it, you see that it's not that big of a deal.

On firmware toolbox, where it says ROM Version, it should say what ever firmware it really is. but underneath where is says ROM Size, it should say ** FIRMWARE SPOOFED AS (whatever you chose to spoof it as)

What drives are you working with and which one are you replacing??
