I'm flashing my m28, and everytime I flash it only goes to 5%, 12%, etc, and stops, I've been using the 10 sec. method, should I just being trying different seconds of waiting? or is it something else

the 10 sec worked if you are getting in the drive.
after it starts it should go threw 4 banks to 100 each time.on a usb it will do this fast.after that it will start samtool dont restart your computer till this is done.even when it says restart the computer.

after your computer put up xtreme master.cut off the power hit the number by xtreme master.wait 10 sec then turn the 360 on.it should start the dump.

ya what are you doing idump or iflash

mine never stopped it just keeps going.(it goes to 100, 4 times.) till samtool starts.then it stops for a min.then builds the hack firmware.then its done.

try this firmware 1st if it works then you can update later.
ixtreme v1.2 fast_read.rar.(not the 1.2 revc)you can find it you know where in the old folder

I think the best & most logical idea would be to first try a different USB flash drive.

If still no luck you could try NTFS DOS method, its just as easy.

If the same, try a new SATA cable.

Failing that try a different PC, if you use your 6421 card in another PC and it still does the same, then it probably points at your card so get a new one and try that.

Where in any of your other posts did you mention you were using the Blaster???? :evil:

Answer = None! :roll: If your asking for help you have to give us all the info!

If your having touble flashing with the Blaster then you either have it connected wrong or you damaged it when you installed it. Maybe you bent some of the pins where the internal PCB connects to the external part.

The Blaster is a nice bit of kit, makes reflashing/updating so much easier. You must have done something wrong or damaged the Blaster components somehow.

Anyway, nevermind, you have done it now I guess. :roll:
