Stock DVD Drive Won't Play Discs

I have been flashing and playing modded XBOX360s since before the great banwave back in the day so I am familiar with the whole scene. I also regularly read most of the posts in here on a weekly basis.

I recently purchased an Xecuter xDrive. My Xbox360 came with a Lite-On 74850c drive in it. It hasn't seen the internet since a couple of months ago and that was only to update the dash. Before that I ran an older version of iXtreme CFW but never hooked it up to the internet. I have purchased a replacement Lite-On 75850c drive to flash and put into the Xecuter xDrive case. This way I can switch back and forth between the drives.

I flashed the original drive with stock FW and the drive key from my original drive's CFW and let it update the dashboard (the one before the latest dash) then I flashed it with LT+3.0 and put it into the Xecuter xDrive case. It boots up and plays both retail and burnt games perfectly.

I then flashed the new drive with stock FW (modded with the original drive's key) that came from within the JF folder phat stock FW folder. I misplaced the stock FW that came with it but I do have the key from a stored CFW. I am using a USB360 Pro on a Win7 laptop.

I only play burnt games on this XBOX360 offline and have been playing it this way for a couple of months now.

Here is the problem. When I boot into the stock drive the XBOX360 boots up just fine, plays downloaded MS games from the HD and watches Netflix etc. all as it should but...the center light on the front of the console keeps blinking even after the XBOX360 is booted up. I tried updating the stock drive to the latest dash and after it downloads the update it gives me an error code and will not install it.

When I put a retail game into the drive and close the drive is says "reading game" for a few seconds and then shows "open tray" again. If I press on the "open tray" dash icon with a disc in the drive it reboots itself back into the dash. It refuses to play any disc and always says "open tray" when a retail game disc is in the drive. It acts as if it's stuck in an "open tray" loop.

I ordered another Lite-On 74850c drive and flashed it with stock JF Lite-On phat FW and it does exactly the same thing as the original drive I flashed except it does not reboot into the dash. It just returns to "open tray" after flashing "reading game" for a few seconds after I insert a retail game disc.

Any suggestions?

Is there a problem with using one of the three stock FW choices from the JF folder maybe? How do I create or where can I get the stock FW?

Stock FW is 0251c for all phat Liteon drives since dash 13141. There is only one stock firmware after that dashboard update.

So where I went wrong was when I flashed the stock drives with the orig-74850C-1a000.bin from the LiteOn_Pre_13141 folder? If I reflash with the orig-02510C-1c000.bin found in the LiteOn_Post_13141 folder of the Latest_iXtreme_v1.91_and_Stock_Firmware_Pack then I should be good to go?

Thanks...

OK. I re-flashed my stock 74850c drive with the LiteOn_Post_13141 orig-02510C-1c000.bin spoofed with my key. Put the drive back into the XBOX360 and booted it up just fine as before but, It still does the same exact thing. It acts as if it's in an open tray loop. For the heck of it I reflashed my modded drive with a freshley spoofed LTPlus-0251-v3.0.bin, put it back into the xDrive and it works perfectly. Plays my burnt games and retail games both.

When I try and update my dash on the stock drive I am still getting the error Status Code: 3CD6 - 3F45 - 1380 - 0700 - C000 - 000E.

My current Dash is 2.0.15574.0.

Man, what am I doing wrong?

Is the DVD drive maybe not getting recognized at all?

Thanks again.
