I've just flashed my 360 samsung M25 drive to ixtreme 1.61 from 1.5 (the one that played HAWX) but it still won't boot any backup wave 4 games (or the activate.iso disk). I can still boot backup wave 3 games no problem.
I used iprep 10.7 with the updated idex(?) file so it recognised the 1.61 firmware and then used the half open disk try trick to unlock the drive.
I can only think of 3 things that could have gone wrong:

1. The drive was already running ixtreme 1.5 - did i need to restore to stock first?

2. I used the serial number from the 360 case - would this be different if i'd already flashed to 1.5? The video on Youtube shows Cofree doing the flash with a made up serial number and it still looks like it flashes so how would i know if i got wrong?

3. I was given the option to spoof the drive to M28 (i think) after flashing but i chose no (after a quick check on google).

Please help - i need to get some practice on MW2 before my mates get it!!

Thanks

1. no

2. no

3. it doesnt matter if you do or not mate, it might be your back up, what wave 4 game are you trying to play?

hi, thanks for helping.
I've tried GTAELC which passed AGBX stealth check (but obviously didn't recognise wave 4) and also tried MW2 (unstealthed so i used activate.iso but activate wouldn't boot either! - just got the open tray message after a lot of drive noises).
I'm beginning to doubt the burns aswell - should the activate disc work on 1.51 anyway (if the flashing to 1.61 didn't work)?
I just tried the disk in my pc and the xbox video plays ok - is this a sign that the disk is ok?
Thanks again for your help.
