it cant be 5.2 as this is a sumsung fw, to restore the 78: Load the original.bin (your original fw-) , Tools > Direct Drive Flash > Differential Flash (RESTORE)

1) Put the DVD Drive in ModeB w/ slax

2) Boot into Windows

3) Run Firmware toolbox 4.0

4) Open Orig.bin w/ firmware toolbox 4.0

5) Go to diff flash / Restore


Then it should be done ;-)

Tho why not use iXtreme 1.2v2 its workin grand for me on my 78FK ;)


Also I don't really think they montior the way the DVD Drive has been powered on w/o a SATA from the 360 going to it even offline, I think it's more likly a Firmware timing / responding scheme..

Well its banned I unmodded it earlier today and yeah tried all my game backups and none of them worked and I tried them in my modded console to make sure they worked, so the restore was successful went on to live just now and hey it cant connect its banned. Well so much for that 2 xboxs banned thnks M$

PS i own all the gameback ups ive made, also why dont they just make it like the xbox where u couldnt play backups online, i would have no problem with that as long as i have a backup of my game i paid 60 bucks for, also anyone see their pay 20bucks get ur game replaced what a joke

MM Why'd it be banned? Did you actually flash a wrong key to it? It hasn't been online since you flashed the orig.bin back right?

How did you get 1.2v2 on a 78fk? Toolbox 4.0 only has 1.2v1 available unless I'm missing something...

Grab the 1.2v2 iXtreme and fw and open it with fw toolbox and copy keys from your orig.bin then flash ;-)
