Hi folks, I've joined today in the hope somebody can help me, I have 2 xbox's both with 74850c drives, one works perfect, the other has given me no end of trouble.
When I first bought it, I flashed it to LT+1.1 without any problems, ran numerous dashboard updates, no issues there either. Some time later an update refused to install and gave an error code, same happened when I flashed it back to stock, but when I flashed it with LT+1.9 it allowed the update, happy days I thought, but I was WRONG!
No ap2.5 games would play, I held out for the release of LT+2.0 in the hope of a fix but jungle flasher says the LT+2.0 '0251' firmware is not for my drive, it will allow me to flash the drive with it and yesterday it ran a new dashboard update, but no games will play not even originals, I believe the reason for this is, unlike my other xbox where a dashboard update changed my drive to an 0251, it hasn't on this one, if there was an LT+2.0 '74850c' firmware it would no doubt work, please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that was ever created.
I've trawled the internet looking for a solution and keep reading that ALL LITE-ON DRIVES ARE NOW 0251, well not in this case hey.
So just to be clear, it has the October dashboard update and I have a backup of my phat key,inquiry,dummy etc.
Any idea's would be very much appreciated guys :confused:

Well I don't know how fix this problem, Seems xbox just doesn't want work for you but you missed afew Key information out mate But ill try help you best I can..
First off, how you updating? For the best chance getting this work you need the Latest update, If I was you i'd download it from M$ website and Use a USB to update, If fails try updating online... If the update keeps failing Then maybe the Drive is Spoofed or something and thats why its not updating... The update always changes the drive FW from 74** to 0251, The only time it won't if is the Drive is spoofed..
If I was you i'd get the drive stock, even Stocked if originals Don't work It might be the Laser has gone so replace the laser in the DVD drive, you'll be amazed how many people think There Flash was unsuccessful because copies don't work after flash when it turned out flash was fine, just laser won't read copies..
