No - not to my knowledge anyway.

You're getting the FlashBIOS screen which is a good start though!

Hitachi flashing help??

Ok i would just like to thank anyone in advanced for helping me with this, its been a real pain the past few days. I used to have a Benq and i flashed it no problems, it was very easy. But recently i picked up a used xbox 360 (the Halo 3 edition) from gamestop and its a Hitachi 0078FK drive. I have been using slax2.0 alpha and every time it loads up it gets to the welcome screen and everythings starts off normal, but it eventually says "waiting for usb devices..." then it gives me this error:



"Fatal error occured -
LiveData not found. Searching for livecd.sgn file, but file not found.
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or PCMCIA CD-ROM) Try to copy all data from CD/USB to your IDE harddisk, for example
to /mnt/sda1/alldata/ in Linux or C:\alldata\ in Windows. Then boot again.
* Something went wrong and we can't continue. This should never happen.
* Please reboot your computer with Ctrl+Alt+Delete ...
*
ash: can't access tty; job contol turned off
/ #"


I really dont know what to do. I have tried
-slax 2.0, 2.1, and 2.0 alpha
-multiple dvd+ and -r's
-turning xbox on in every recomended way

I am using a 64 bit windows vista, and tried it on a 32 bit vista, both no luck. If there is any type of tut for flashing on 64 bit or if any of you know what the problem is i would be more then grateful. I am new to this site, so please ask me any info that i may have left out of this.

Thanks again, really need this to work.

Re: Hitachi flashing help??

I heard that you cant use jungleflasher on the 78fk model, and i have looked everywhere for a good tutorial to explain it and i have only found very outdated ones.

Re: Hitachi flashing help??

Ok so the only ones ive found on this site is

http://360mods.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=87

And hes using Slax and firmware toolbox.

and also

http://360mods.net/index.php?name=Downloads&get=95

and for this one jungleflasher dosent detect my drive in the
"port properties" section. I have tried using different sata ports but none work. Is there a certain configuration i need to make in my BIOS menu?
I apologize for sounding like a complete noob right now.

Re: Hitachi flashing help??

you have to get your drive recognized in windows

press the "refresh" button again in the top right corner and then it will find your hitachi drive

Re: Hitachi flashing help??

it has already found it, i put it in mode B using slax, then it was able to recognize it in Jungleflasher. its recognized but when i press Dump Drive>Read to source everything works like normal then it says "Drive Rev Undetermined...Aborting!"
i have tried using a different sata port and restarting jungleflasher, no luck. Is there any alternative program or thing i can do for this step?

Re: Hitachi flashing help??
