It want be a benq with that date it will have yellow wires instead of the white
which will be a liteon drive.

 

[coley65]

ok whats next so I have a liteon drive
428732284205 thats the product number

Thanks
Coley

Firstly open the xbox and confirm drive and firmware revision. If it's a liteon with that date it's a v9 and will require additional hardware to get the key.

 

[coley65]

ok when i took the front panel to see what colour wires I had on it (yellow by the way). It had a Microsoft security seal on it which at this stage I dont want break because blockbusters said I could take it back if I wanted. So we can assume it is a V9. What would be the next steps in the process

what hardware will i need.
what are the costs for the hardware
Which tutorial do I follow to complete the job
what are the consequences of doing the mod. Chances of me fooking up the xbox etc
Were to get the hardware from

thanks coley

unless you want to flash drives in the future then your better off asking somone to flash the drive as the kit will cost you more than a flash.

Your going to need an mra hack or pmt probe to get the key. Follow the latest jungleflasher tut. If you want someone to do the hack then pm oggy or the cherkymonkey.

 

[coley65]

I have been reading else were regarding flashing the liteon drives. I agree with you about the cost of buying what I need to do it. One good thing is my motherboard is supported.

However I would still like to explore the process of doing this. So what hardware do I need to do it.

So if I decide to get someone to do it for me is there anyone in the southport area on here that could do it for me.

Thanks coley

Most people do it via post mate.

You will need:

CK3
PMT probe/ CK3 probe
Sata card / X360 usb pro

All of that is required mate, looking at about £80s worth.

 

[coley65]

thanks for that just had a read through jungle flasher manual looks really interesting. Lots more reading though.

Thanks for the help so far really appreciate it

[coley65]

CK3
PMT probe/ CK3 probe
Sata card / X360 usb pro

CK3 =what is this when I searched on google there are lots ck3 things

PMT probe/ CK3 probe which one do I need there different versions

Sata card / X360 usb pro doI need this as my motherboard has an intel ich7 chipset GA-G31M-ES2L (rev. 1.x)

thanks Coley

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

Sorry to hijack this but I have a benq drive (VAD6038) which I've powered using the xbox and connected via Sata cable to a VIA 6421A card in my PC. Jungleflasher doesn't detect the xbox DVD drive. If I were to use the CK3 & probe am I likely to have any more luck or is the fact that it doesn't currently detect it mean no?

TIA :thumbsup:
