Before you use the forums we require you to follow these basic rules:
Fill in your Xbox Setup Information
Make sure you have ALL the information required for anyone to help you
Use your common sense
Remember that the forums are setup for users to HELP EACH OTHER


but as my last post got closed without the opportunity to get help other users and it does not say in the rules that this forum is for product support!!

and for the record the method i use is well documented in all jf tutorials.

your mods need lighten up a bit and get rid of their god complexes

thanks for the help :mad2:

I closed it because we don't support the configuration.

You're using non-recommended hardware and have probably damaged something in the process. Why are you posting on a T-X product website? We have good support, yes? Well, buy the product and get support - that's how it works.

Feel like you should get more support? Why? Don't you think those who buy T-X products deserve more support than you? I do!

i do use t-x products, i use the ck3 lite, but just for convenience with simple flashing i use current set up.

did not mention anything about deserving more support, i just thought that this was a community based forum where i would get advice from the wider community, my post never once asked or demanded the attention of a mod, you could have simply ignored my post and left it to others who maybe have come accross something similar, but i guess santa was'nt good to you today so u need a whipping boy.

I got in there first to prevent others wasting time helping someone who is not using a supported configuration.

WHY should anyone help you here? Nobody is obliged to and more importantly, without using T-X products the problem could be anything up to and including you plugging the power cable in the wrong way. I'm not having the forums flooded with pages of 'help' for someone who doesn't want to use our tools for the job.

Don't like it? Tough. Part of the job of a Mod is to prevent posts like this getting air-time as it takes the focus away from our customers. Truth be told, had you used the right kit you wouldn't be where you are now, negating the need for a topic.

I'm not stopping you going elsewhere for help, so go already.

Cheers - it's a thankless task, most of the time. I get the odd 'nod' of thanks from people who appreciate the help, but there are spoons out there who expect you to help, even in cases where they're not even T-X users! More importantly, don't realise that we ALL do this in our free time with no monetary compensation (our choice, before you ask - not a problem and glad to help those willing to learn and are T-X users!).

OP - like I care what you think of me. Jog on.

Thanks for all the lovely replies. Just to put the record straight, what i originally posted i believed in good faith after reading the rules that it was appropriate and a good place to seek some advice.

Then having a MOD close the thread because i'm not using TX products (although i've spent quite a bit in the past on repair kits and probes). surely that goes against the whole idea of this being a forum?

If you dont want my kind of post then please go through your posts and start deleting are closing those as they too are not within your unwritten rule.

And having a dig about me being a spoilt 14 year old only belittles this whole site.

If you seriously believe that your mods act and moderate this forum justly and fairly then i wish you all good luck.

I do believe that you have come down on me quite harshly and please put my previous reply of "prick" into context. It was a knee jerk reaction and i regret doing it, but having read all the replies it belongs there.

In reply: If you think it's just and fair that a forum designed to HELP T-X customers with their T-X products should help every Tom, d**k or Harry with their custom configuration, you're deluded. Your initial post is a perfect example of how NOT flash a drive and without using products we support, how (or more importantly why) should we help?

These forums are paid for by T-X and supported by us. You think you have a 'right' for help? If you have a CK3, then you should be using it. Only an IDIOT will be using an xbox to power their drive when they have a CK3 at hand. All kinds of problems come from using a console, up to and including irregular power depending on what the console tries to do with the drive or console shutting down due to no activity on AV socket.

Above all, your question would have been answered at least a hundred times on just about every xbox forum out there. But why go to all the trouble of looking and searching (which might have taken you best part of the day) when you can just play the 'spoon' card and start a new thread?

No.

Maybe you should look at the amount of effort the mods actually put into writing guides and tutorials, including the lengths we go to in order to assist others. I've actually purchased products (out of my own pocket) in the past just so I can help someone I've never met. They're a T-X customer, so help is what they get.

Finally, to put it into context your comment of me being a prick. In light of your attitude and maturity compared to the unsung efforts put in by those here with free time, I would retort with calling you a c**t, however you don't have the capacity or depth to give pleasure.
