I bought this dvd-rom drive, not working?

[zerolain]

I'm trying to flash my drive to make it a Kreon drive. I bought this drive TS-H353A and I'm trying to flash it via the SH-D163A drivers. I get an error saying that the firmware is not compatible. Am I doing something wrong? I'm reading the "How to upgrade" file and I'm doing everything correctly, just not sure if the drive is compatible.
EDIT: The drive is working. Played The Departed and watched the whole movie.

YOu are trying to put a firmware on a drive that cant use it.
You awnsered your question.

What is the correct firmware?
Do I have the correct drive?

 

[meldrige]

you have correct drive. check your pm

 

[zerolain]

Do I need to set it in a certain mode?
Do I need to run the enable 0800 dvd?

is there only certain drives that can be made into kreon drives? or can any drive be modded? flashing is one thing backing up games is another.

yeah was looking at my drive and noticed it said dvd+r dl its a philips solidburn i dont know what version or anything but i will find out soon. is this capable of backing up my games?

jenkosz there are only certain drives that can use the kreon firmware and they are the "TSST corp SH-D162C" the "163C" and another 1 i think, cant remember the other drive. you can get these cheap enough off ebay or type in kreon in a search bar and you should find 1 there. most dvd+r dl burners will burn your backups its just a matter of testing yours with some dvd+r dl media, but you're better off getting the latest firmware for your writer if any is available.

Any suggestions on why I cannot flash my drive?
I have 2 other drive on my comp could that be an issue?

Ive figured it out I've searched everywhere and I was on www.xbox-scene.com and have found my fix.

I ran the cmd function and started the program with -no check and it worked/

Start>Run> type in cmd or command
In the command line type chdir=" the path to the file (not in quotes) " -no check

Yeah, sorry. If I wouldn't have been so busy, I would have told you how that to begin with, but it seems like you found it. Well, glad you got it flashed.
