Strange Issue with Lite On 74

This is an xbox with a bad lite On 74 drive. The box does not have the dashboard update. I used my ck3pro with JF. JF reports that the bad drive is a 74 with key verified. I made successful Extraction of the dummy and all other relevant files (inquiry, key, etc). Extraction appeared to be good (Dummy shows as random numbers and letters). I flashed the dummy into the replacement drive so I can take the update and then hack it with latest fw. According to the JF log, the erase and the write went OK. But when I send the outro, the drive goes unresponsive. It freezes up badly. I have to use the l-o-eras method to recover the replacement drive.

I tried loading my dummy and flashing it with hacked lt 1.1 (just for testing purposes) and it says that the key couldn't be verified. If I do the erasing and the writing, JF in fact writes the hacked FW but once i click on the outro key the dvd drive dies.

For more testing, I loaded a dummy.bin from a different lite on 74 xbox. I used hacked lt 1.1 into replacement drive and I had no problem. Works like a champ.

My guess is that something is wrong with the dummy file. But it's strange. I dumped it twice.
I still have the original 74 drive. I haven't messed with it except for dumping the keys.

Any ideas?

if you think something is wrong with the dummy.bin, just manual spoof in your key to whatever firmware you wish

it is more likely that your firmware is bad, i'd suggest redownloading the firmware pack
