Hello guys, i have a Xbox 360 with a Toshiba Samsung Drive TS-H943A. The problem is when i Flash the LT+ v2.01 to the drive the JF log looks good but when i connect the drive to my Xbox 360 and make it on then the drive is making some grinding noise like its spinning and scratching but no disk is inside. When i put original disk in then the Xbox Logo shows like a DVD. Any idea ?

When i FLash it with orig. FW the drive works great with orig. disks. Only on Flash it doesnt work.

JF Log:

Drive is Samsung..

It looks like bad flash. But log seems to be correct. What dashboard are you running on? Today I was fixing same problem. Customer was trying to apply update from some low dash. It was making same error. I had to reflash drive. Is it possible that drive was spoofed before?

I am running the latest DB 17349 or something like that. The previous DB was 16202 i think. Looked like normal drive not spoofed. I have reflashed it twice. I tried to write stock Then Flash. But Nothing worked, always the same problem.

Customer had lt2. Tried to update dashboard from some low. It broke his flash and started to behave like yours. I just reflashed drive to lt3. Where city are you from? If you are near Zilina I can try that. But I believe there will be some other problem.
