SAMSUNG MS25 Can't get into Vendor mode after successful flash

[WNYConsoles]

Got my X360USB Pro today and got it all installed, the driver signature stuff, etc and flashed my sammy ms25 drive and all went well after following the tutorial. After I burned a backup game I have I got disc unreadable, I am not sure if I burned it right or not.

The drive still plays retail games so I know I flashed it correctly.

HOWEVER, I decided to hook the drive up to JF again and re-flash it back to stock (just testing and what not) I found my X360USB Pro was flashing a blue LED once and awhile after reconnecting it and what not and I cannot get JF to get Info / Device ID info and the dive will not go into vendor mode anymore.

I get status 0x51 when I attempt to get Info / Device ID.

Additionally, when connecting the CK3 Pro, X360USB Pro, and the DVD Drive, which mode do I have the CK3 on, blue or red led, I believe red is for vendor mode?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions

You don't put Samsung drives into Vendor mode by using the Vendor Intro button. Press Sammy unlock and this should do it for you.

That did work, I originally flashed with vendor mode on CK3 enabled, no thinking. To flash back to stock do I just following the tutorial using the stock sammy FW then reflash again with LT?

Also, what is the activate.iso?

 

[Martin C]

Yes, you need to.

Thanks for the help, I am flashing back to stock as I type this.

One last question, what is activate.iso for? I burned it and played it on the XBOX (first flash attempt) and it played as DVD and said insert this into a XBOX 360 Console.

Depends what activation disc you mean, as there were two...

 

[WNYConsoles]

In JF after flashing it says in the top right corner "activate.iso" you click it and takes you to a DL link. When highlighted it says "Burn to DL-DVD, then insert to unlock ixtreme sammy".

So that's the 0800 activation disc I presume. Only needed in certain circumstances.

I must be burning the backups wrong because they are all unreadable, activate.iso says put into xbox.

How do I burn backups? I used ImgBurn for the first one.

You using layer break? Also did you copy them from your original correctly?

You literally select the .dvd file that ABGX created for you and IMGBurn will do the rest. You do NOT need the activation disc at all.

The ISO's were downloaded, they work on my tag console. Do I just throw the iso into software and burn to DL-DVD or is there more work involved LOL Cant seem to find solid tutorials online for it.
