Error 66?

There are no new ms28 drives or firmware. If you are getting E66, it is because you flashed ms25 firmware to your drive and it does not match the ms28 version your motherboard is looking for. You need to reflash with a Xtreme firmware that reports as a ms28.

WHAT ERROR?!?! We can't help you if you dont tell us all the information you have. Also, open your hacked.bin in 360 Firmware toolbox and see what version it reports as.

e66

M$ didn't start checking for dvd drive revisions right away so when it worked for your friend he was running an older 360 system firmware. There's no reason whatsoever to be using 3.2 at this point, that is 2 full versions behind. Use Xtreme 5.2 with your valid drive key and make sure it reports as ms28 like caster420 said and you'll be fine.

And actually, as soon as your friend plays any newer game that forces him to apply the 360 system update you're talking about he'll be getting the E66 on his as well.

just ran x360 toolbox and it is picking it up as a ms25 cheers for helpin lads just 1 more quiestion
is it doing that because the firmware i am using is old and i need to download a newer version just got xtreme 52 will that be ok to use?

 

[hmelo]

It is doing so because you selected a firmware from the firmware package that has ms25 version strings in it. If you use the new Xtreme Boot Maker package (0.53), it includes samtool, which will catch this error, as shown in Textbooks most current tutorial.

thanks for the help guys ive got it done i used the xtreme52 firmware and the bad flash method and it worked it was because like you said it was flashing it as ms25 and not ms28 which the new firmware sorted and its a lot quicker at playing the backed up games aswell

thanks for all ya help couldnt do it without ya
