well i got a referb 360 with an ms25 drive in it (sent broken one in and got this one) so i decided i want to mod it seeing as how my chipset is supported. i read tutorials and printed off the correct section of textbooks guide to read while i was flashing. i made my bootable USB with iprep with what i thought was the correct firmware (iXtream_samsung_v1.2 RevC) and after trying a few sata ports MTKflash found my drive and made a backup of my original firmware. i then rebooted and attempted to flash it with the hacked firmware. it flashed and MTKflash said it was fine. plug it back into my xbox and i get a red light on the bottom right with no error on screen and code 1002 with the sync/eject button trick. i find that the newer MS25s require a special firmware that doesnt spoof to ms28 or something like that. damn. however i find a way to revive my drive! i try to follow this (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=514936 ) tutorial and after many reboots it detects my drive and i proceed to get the original firmware on. however it never flashs. just hangs at "Port: d800, Master/Slave: a0" or something. now i cannot get mtkflash to see the drive at all and if i try and boot up my PC with it plugged in it just hangs when trying to detect any SATA drives and never even gets to MTKflash. even if i plug it in after i boot into MTKflash it doesnt see it. someone please help. i just spent $35 on a 20 pack of Verbatiam DVD+R DLs! (probably should have bought them after a succesful flash but newegg had free express shipping lol) and dont want them to be wasted. thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: Note: i do not care about Xbox LIVE. i have a 2nd 360 for that. i just want a way to restore my drive and flash it with a working firmware. the only thing is i want it to be a quiet firmware
