First of all you shouldnt be truncating your backups. There is now a way to burn 100% of the disc with a new dvd burner running special custom firmware. There is plenty of information on this site which will inform you of all your needs.

Also if your xbox drive is samsung you need the latest CFW - LT 2.01

Just tested awhile ago the new " LT-sammy-v2.01.bin" to sammy ms28, all XGD3 games are not working still...all not XGD3 games still work..Maybe there's still a problem with the new UPDATE of iXtreme_and_Stock_Firmware_Pack_v2_01...will wait for another update, or else change the dvd to LITE-on Drive :( ..Goodbye for now sammy. ;)

regards.

Spoofing drives is not recommended if doing so you will not be able to play and SSv2 or XGD3 backups anycase.

Ensure you use proper burner and proper discs (verbs).

i forgot to say that i did change back to original firmware of sammy "orig-ms28.bin" , ofcourse write the original keys in it, then write the "NEW UPDATE LT-sammy-v2.01.bin. Same thing happened cannot read or play XGD3 games.
 
If all other games are working fine, and theyre showing up on dashboard. The flash is fine. It is simply a bad burn. XGD3 HAS to use good media and slow burn speeds. Theres no question about it. We're telling people this all the time but if they chose not to listen and still go out and buy other media then whinge then its their own fault in the first place.

Go buy Verbatim and burn slowly. Youre not meant to truncate any more but it should still work with a good burn.

To get optimal performance and quality out of your burns you need a burner and cfw fir that burner, a liteon ihas 124,224,324 424,524 or 624, once you have that you can flash the firmware on that which allows a 100% copy of your original no more truncating..

You just need to follow the first piece of advise then!
i ended up buying the liteon ihas124 b burner, i flashed it with iextreme burner max 1.0 burned a game with imgburn and i end up getting the same error when the game loads up, shows up fine on the dashboard just doesnt play. again other smaller gamers work fine

Check your laser. The new xgd3 games put a harder strain on the lasers. I had a hard time with backups and originals of the new xgd3 games. Gave the laser a little boost with a pot tweak and all is good.;) Wouldn't recommend doing it without a mulitmeter though.

it is better to buy a lite-on drive to replace the samsung drive, than to buy a liteon ihas124 burner and verbatim disk.

Im just thinking, why they released the firmware of sammy 2.01 even they did not try if it is working or not.

Even if you buy a liteon ihas124 burn the verbatim, then flash the new sammy 2.01 into an old samsung drive, it is the same problem, cannot read the backup XGD3, it is not 100% to play in sammy(samsung drive). Maybe the new firmware release sammy 2.01 is for beta testing for those who has a sammy and couldn't afford to buy a liteon drive replacement.

regards

this does not make much sense.. spoofing a liteon for a sammy is no longer a viable option since the introduction of AP2.5...spoofing is not supported

ok might be your laser like BigO said
do you have a jf log though ?

also after the 13146 drive update all sammys have the same stock firmware (no 25's or 28's anymore)

Junk your sammy drive for now, and replace it with liteon drive then you will be happy.. Dont waste your time flashing with "new UPDATE for samsung drive v2.01" it's not working, you will loose all your time flashing and hexing. Replace the drive and be happy. :)
