dam dog, doesnt sound good. you need to give us more info, did you manage to read off the original firmware first? did you use the 360 firmware toolbox?

 

[blinky]

yes to all god this sucks

but could i put my v47 in to replace my v78......?

 

[hmelo]

Yes, assuming you have your key you can easily put one in.

how

o im using slax2 to get it into mode b with sil3512 chipset

Well, if you have the replacement hitachi, you simply flash the firmware as you normally would and then you use flashsec to flash the sector which contains your key - I dont remember the sectors off hand but if you get a replacement drive, just ask. Then, it will work in your 360.

You could try using the two wire method to force your drive into modeB and see if that works. THis method is described in the tutorial.

well its not a replacment....but it came out of my old 360....so im going to go a head to do the 2wire or flashsec.....

 

[hmelo]

Ok, well, read up on the two wire in the tutorial first. Make sure you do not do it wrong or you could permenantly f**k up your drive.

I'll look around for the sectors you need to flash for your key. What version is the replacement?

v47

thax man

whats that program called i cant find it

 

[hmelo]

Your best be would be to get your drive into modeB, boot into windows and use Maximus' Firmware Toolbox to extract your drive key out of your v78 backup. Once you do that, dump your v47 firmware and replace the key with you got from your v78 backup. THen flash the drive key to the v47.

There is a way to do this in dos using 47flash.exe but i got to thinking about the rolling code on the v78's and you might not flash the correct sector.

my hole 360 is done when i did the 2 wire trick so f**k me

So first you bricked your v78 drive even though there were warnings explaining that SIL chipsets did not work for flashing the v0078FK drives.

Then, you bricked your entire 360 with the two-wire trick?

I think this thread shows how important it is to read and fully understand everything before messing with stuff. If you don't understand it 100%, and don't want to risk breaking something, get an experienced installer to do the job for you. Instead of paying $50 to have somebody else do it, you now have a $400 brick.
