i guess......using the solderless install will take away the LED's on the X3 switch for HDD and LAN activity.....?

Except for the fact that the LAN and HD solder points are about the largest you find on the Xbox.
But you would still have to take the MB out of the case :?

flashing hard drive

Hi all, can anyone help me pls.. I am planning to upgrade my 20gb hard drive by replacing the inside hard drive but I cannot find any info on flashing it, I been told it needs flashing with something I can get from Xbins, What is this? and can you link a tutorial or something that shows me what do pls. I know how flash DVD drives just not hard drives. Also will this ban me? Because there are 250gb drives on Ebay they say you wont get banned and conflicts on here on the subject but i tried phone Xbox 360 help line to just simple ask, and they say I will get banned for Hardware Tempering. I just paid £40 on this hard drive "i know stupid price" and not paying more for another drive so ill have 2.. i prefer buy the inside drive.

Thanks alot

Re: flashing hard drive

also could anyone confirm if a WD Blue 250GB WD2500BEVT would work with the 250gb flash thing? Will this work inside the 360 hard drive? cus all drives I seen are never named "Blue" Thanks

WD2500BEVT definitely works, as do alot of other WD drives.
Get the latest version of hddhackr and read the release notes with it, it goes into more detail and explains perfectly it's usage.
You will need a legitimate, valid hddss.bin from a 250GB 360 HDD for this to work, do u have one of those?

Re: flashing hard drive

legitimate one? nope I dont think so, how do i get one? I downloaded the 250gb.bin hdd hack from Xbins. Will that do?
and its called hddss_250.bin, So i need rename it to Hddss.bin? all tutorials seem to use hddss.bin? Thanks.. Also in the tutorial its says I can use my Dump from my old drive, does this mean If i connect my 20gb hard drive, dump the hddss.bin from it, can i use this on the WD drive to make it 250gb or use the 250.bin?

One quick note.. Is £38 for a 250 WD drive good? or can I get them cheaper?

Thanks for reply mate, your the best :)

Re: flashing hard drive

Don't say that... I am already worried about doing this encase I get banned, I really don't wanna get banned for upgrading my hard drive and only doing this because people keep telling me you Wont get banned, they wont find out :(..

Now I am back to stage 1.. Should or shouldn't I :(

But 20g is really crap and I don't wanna buy a new hard drive, i don't want 2, prefer upgrade the inside drive. OMG what to do lol...

Re: flashing hard drive

After asking afew other people about banned for changing drive i got this message from someone I know and its about changing the inside drive to a 250 one

"Also its works perfectly on xbox live and swapping out your hdd wont get you banned. the only thing that will get you banned is if you engage in game piracy or otherwise cheat--so just don't do that"

Anyone think this statement is true?
