I have flashed many phat drives with my sata card. I want to update my firmware on my slim which currently has 1.9 to 1.92. I have a pre-bought slim with a tx unlocked pcb (lt1.9). I understand that not all sata cards are compatible and that x360usb is the best option. Unfortunately I only have my sata for now. In the event that my sata isnt compatible, will my xbox still work? I need to test to see if the slim drive will successful get flashed but dont wanna risk the drive being unusable after?

It is well documented that Slim Lite-on drives only work with a select few compatible chipsets and therefore TX recommend the X360USB Pro for these particular drives.
Whilst your VIA/Chipset will read the FW very few will actually Write to them
You can try to read it (retrieve dummy.bin) but as stated above I doubt it will write to it unless you are one of they very lucky few
If it does read the key and fails to write then will i retain my current firmware or will i be in limbo?
The JF programme does 'Delete' before it 'Writes' so I would say YES you will lose the current CFW/OFW
I have used the X360USB Pro since it's release and never had this kind of problem :tongue:
However someone else who has experienced this may be able to verify my first statement

If you ever watched when you flashed any of the phats in JF it literally says "Erasing" before "Writing"
If you read exactly what I posted you would know that I was being a tad sarcastic :rolleyes2:
Of course if you 'Erase' your drive it will, by definition, be 'Erased (see empty)'....:facepalm:
Yes exactly because it erases then tries to write and freezes leaving you with a dead drive until you get the correct equipment :tongue:
Don't get me wrong your chipset could work but can you wait without a console (for the X360USB Pro to arrive) if it does go 'Tits-Up'....
It's really up to you buddy I can't force you to buy the product :redface: when you may not need it :frown:
Thanks for the assistance..I get what u saying.. the x360usb is ideal and ill definitely get one..
