put your orig.bin into the same folder as the xtreme hack and click on "make extreme firmware" it will give you options i suggest C or D but up to you and choose ms28 (standard)

Then copy that to the floppy

reboot to the floppy and from the dos prompt type

mtkflash w /m (*****.bin) <---- your new *.bin file

always make a hard copy of your orig bin and keep it safe i burned mine to a cd-r just to be safe

Don't bother with samhack / samread

Instead, get your orig.bin (which should be in the directory number you specified earlier when you did samread) -boot into Windows and check that (a) it is valid and (b) the key looks sensible with firmware toolbox

Then make a few backups of this orig.bin

Then, place in root directory from which you extracted the Xtreme 5.2 firmware and doubleclick on the cmd file - follow the prompts to make your hacked firmware

Copy your hacked firmware to the USB stick

Boot back into DOS, and type;
mtkflash w /m /sata x52b.bin (where x52b.bin is the name of your hacked firmware)

Turn off/on per normal bad flash

Done!
