probe 3 is what you should have used to get your key BEFORE you pressed LITEON ERASE

and you are probably getting the update error due to the key missing

reading daleh's thread a lot of people are struggling to retrieve the key via update - seems it's flukey depending on the drive rev......
I think glitch hack is the only way now......this is talked about on here - it involves soldering to your board and running xell to retrieve your key

I'm not quiet sure i can do soldering on the board and don't really know what is xell. I've i can use a probe 3 i i'll take a risk.

My drive has the stock firmware now. (i can't put another one either way...)

To be honest i've never heard of probe3 until today... i know it's made to extract the key but i don't even know how...

edit - i tried to do the update on the dashboard and i got this message:

"can't proccess the update. If the problem persists, go to www.xbox bla bla.

Status Code:
3151 - 335A - 1600 - 2303 - C800 - 0080"

what does it mean??
i had same thing need to go from 74580 to 0251 so stock then org firmware then 0251 then 1.91 but you do need probe 3 mate for sure

your key is GONE from the drive so there is no way to get it back with probe 3

he pressed LITEON erase which deleted it from his drive.. he will need to use the reset glitch hack if he ever wants to use this console again

without the key you just have a dvd player and that's it


i said this at the very first response post #2, now its gone 5 pages :facepalm:

I'm able to play some demos i've got here.. i was hopping original games would play too but i guess not.

So the key is (was) in the drive or in the pcb?
I'm asking because i guess i could get another drive with iextreme (wich i guess could retrieve the key).

Don't be angry, i'm just seeking for help :frown:

this seems like a good case of not readin the tut, before you start anything to do with flashing your drive.:rolleyes2:
I NEVER had the key. I bough this xbox second hand... but yes, i was a dumbass clicking in lite-on erase.

well you can just play your demos and watch dvds then

has be the key from the original drive as it is paired with the console's motherboard

with the RGH you will be able to retrieve the key

i'm sorry but that's it..no more choices

You cannot get the key any other way than the reset glitch hack now, for which u will need a pro modder to help u out......simple as that

Thank you guys for your help. So i get some options:

- Repair: Do you know anyone who can help me out with that RGH? I mean, any of you can do this to me?
I mean, i send the console, pay and than you send it back to me... (as if it was an RMA service :D)

- Buy another one. Now, all the new slims can be flashed as easy as phat one's with lite on drives? Or it's better to look for some used consoles (phat) ?
