[rosswilson1989]

Hey i did everything the vid said to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdKnvYYPcHI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; apart from imade the bootable from an SD card and i did manage to get the SD card to boot from bois i entered my serial number turned off drive typed Y then enter then drive on. then it said 0x70 and said to cycle the power again. i do that and it getts stuck on 0x50 and says
(MTK VENDOR INTRO Failed on port 0x01F0)

No idea wat this means can anyone help my PC has an VIA sata chipset. and im useing ixtreme_1.5.1 i dont know whether the newer the softwear whetherit works or not butmy drive is quite old

Drive: TS-H943 made in May 2006

this is my spare xbox and it has been to independant repair shop, and somone has wrote numbers near wher the xbox serial is i was wondering in order to flash/change the drive have the repairers needed to change the serial number?

when you get stuck at 0x50 does it ask you if you want to resend the command again?

[rosswilson1989]

yes then gets stuck on 0x70 untill u press esc

Flash Type: MTK VENDOR INTO FAILED

Says on the device manager i have a VIA IDE sata chipset on the boot it says ABYKY7HF IDE CONTROLLER

DRIVE: 0x01F0 IDE PRI MASTER ATAPI ATAPI DVD A DH16A1P RX12

i havnt got my 360 drive connected was just test running like on vid with serial 12345 12345

yea, that's the same thing that happens to me when i flash drives, im not sure if thats a problem or not because its regular procedure for me. . . so just repeat that until it ask you to enter the number of the port your drive is located on, it's not stuck. eybodies computer reponds differently because when CoFree does it in the video his kicks right over and that was bugging me out when it wasn't doing that for me, then i hit esc and it went to what you said, i hit y for yes and power cycled again and then everything went like the video after that. you'll have to power cycle like that for before both the read and the flash. . . try it and let me know what happens

when you went through the steps the drive wasn't connected? you got to connect the drive kid, as long as you don't flash it wrong you're good, you have to do a dump first, no harm will come from the dump process, so hook it up and see what happens with the dump process

Careful because the ATAPI DVD A DH16A1P you posted up is your burner. Its always best to disconnect everything attached to your motherboard when using iprep just in case.

[rosswilson1989]

Take it nice and easy and you'll be up and running in no time. And don't forget to save a copy of your dumped firmware (save it in a few places on your pc) Good luck mate.

(save it in a few places on your pc)
