thats why it prob wont eject...

get them solder to the pcb...

and if your orig drive was a 0225 then you use the 0225 cfw not the 0225u cfw.

OK that's good we got progress :biggrin:

Now you need to find someone to solder the five wires onto the PCB for you....:tongue:
I will try to find someone who has soddering kits or anyone that knows how to sodder on the east coast.. haha

The drive won't bloody open because there aren't any wires sldered to it...:facepalm:
and this all goes back to the first couple posts of me saying that I didn't sodder the wires in.. sorry to give everyone the runaround, but thanks for helping me flash it to 0225u with the SPi locked, now just to sodder and i'll be good to go... hopefully ?

What FW Version does it say on the sticker on top of the drive?

If it says 9504 then you need to use 0255u CFW....

If it says 0225 then you need to use 0255 CFW....

the 0225 firmware wouldn't let me lock it, it would say it couldn't lock

wow okay, so thanks for the help everyone, what i will do from here is get the wires soddered, then handle unlocking this pcb again to remod it... hopefully everything works out

Edit:
i wish i just bought the Xecuter PCB... it comes with the adapter and stuff already soddered.
