basically i have 2 samsung drives both ms28, the drive in the xbox suddenly started to think it was 2 opening " constantly and wouldnt display anything but opening on the dashboard so i thought maybe the pcb was knackered so i were able to read the drive and get the key , then connected the spare drive , spoofed it but it felt like something wasnt right but i carried on as a tut showed , put the drive into the xbox , " play dvd " ,

went back to the drawing board - relised it wasnt a faulty pcb, the drives try was knackred or out of place as no matter what pcb was in that drive it would always say " opening "

then i restored both drives to stock state, went ahead with flashing the original pcb in the spare drive with latest FW and yet again " play dvd " i did a quick look on here and the only thing i found was its a bad/wrong dvd key yet im 100% sure this key is the one for the xbox.

any ideas im going :crazy:

Open your SAM-OFW.bin as the source firmware in JungleFlasher, auto-load LT 1.9 firmware as the target, check both drive keys match, click MtkFlash32, click Sammy Unlock, read, write, outro.
