Hi guys,


my ck3i and unlocked replacement pcb just arrived.
I only took the xbox slim apart but didnt do anything else to it. The hardware nor the software are altered. Now i want to start replacing the pcb and flash the drive.

1. Should I update to the latest dashboard before doing anything? I currently run that xd3g dashboard 13599.

2. Is there a guide on how to exactly replace the pcb?
Hardware not software guide..

3. What is the difference between "Orig-0225.bin" or "Orig-0225u.bin"?

4. As i understood it I always have to revert to stock firmware before an Dashboard update. Stock firmware is the original dvd drive xbox firmware (unaltered). That is done to avoid a ban. Then after the dashboard update I have to relash iXtreme to the dvd drive. Never ever update dashboard without reverting to stock firmware.
The stock firmware is in my case the "Orig-0225.bin" or "Orig-0225u.bin" right?

5. Before I take off the original pcb i need to backup the Dummy.bin according to ubergeeks guide, now is there more that i can backup before i take off the pcb? key.db or something i read once...

6. Are the key files stored on the pcb or the drive itself?

7. When done, can i play non XD3G games? I wont play XD3G until the dvd recorder firmware drops.


thanks i hope to start today with your help

3.0225.bin For 0225 Drive & 0225u.bin for Mislabeled 0225 mean 9504 Say On Sticker But Jf Shows This Is A 0225

4.U Understood right

You Don't Need To Update If Running On 13599 Dash.Are You Able To Access Xbox Live ? If Yes You Don't Need To Update !

if i update before i replace the pcb thru xboxlive, will that somehow do any harm like for example flash the drive?

Sure You can update before-hand. It won't flash if it's a 0225 but even if it's a 9504 it won't matter because your swapping the pcb and can still get the keys even if it's locked :)

i know, i was just finished saved my dummy.bin and wanted to take the dvd apart but before that my molex supply fried, now i dont know how to power the drive to be able to flash the lt 2.0 :(

i cannot use the xbox to power it i read, but once i was advised to use the xbox to power it so it would open the tray of the dvd drive, i did that back then..

U Can use Your PC For Power Your Drive If You Have CK3(Think U Have). Connect CK3 With Your PC's SMPS !
