My Xbox Can not read burned DVD + Rs

[Ninja Assassin]

I have a v1.2/v1.3 Xbox with XBMC Dashboard and I put a burned DVD + R in it and it will not load it but it loads CD - Rs and RWs, haven't tested CD + R and RWs, but not DVD + Rs but the DVD + Rs work in my friends Xboxes which are the same thing but they are v1.6.

What should I do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I honestly dont know. Try using a more hardcore dash like Avalaunch? Instead of that pus5y XBMC

Use a DVD-R? I think I had to do something like this to burn a copy of DSL. Either find a disc labeled DVD-R, or there may even be a way to FORCE a drive to burn a DVD+R to look like a DVD-R. Xbox drives are tricky.

I've also seen some drives that will read DVD-RW's.

Digital reminded me of something. What Drive do you have? If its phillips then poor you. It sucks. That may be your problem.

The drive is a Phillips but my friends drive is also a Phillips and it reads the DVD + Rs fine which confuses me. But he has v1.6 Xbox and I have v1.2/v1.3.

My DVD ROM drive is: Model: PHILLIPS J5 3235C Firmware: S32M

Do you think I could update the firmware on it and it would read them?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you could try flashing it if you want but softmods are supposed to run unsigned code anyways. But sure, you want a tut on it?

Thats what I have on my broken xbox Mine just died one day so I just rebuilt it with a 250gb HDD.

Initial searches haven't found much...I'm still looking around tho...

I happen to have a spare philips drive lying around for my Xbox1. I will see if I can't find some other kind of firmware out there that will work...

Edit: This may help!!!

What do the numbers mean?

And the DVD + Rs I used are: Memorex 16x DVD + Rs 4.7 GB Capacity.

[digitalhigh]

You know...IDK what the numbers mean. Check the thread I posted with the full list, there's a passage in there about setting the booktype for the DVD you're burning...

The numbers were people reporting in on what worked and what didnt.

I would like a tutorial on flashing it ForrrestMaster, and I would want to know how to reverse the effects of it if it went wrong for some reason. Or is there a way to upgrade to Xbox v1.6 from Xbox v1.2/1.3 or do you have to buy a new Xbox for that?

You mess it up its basically busted

[Ninja Assassin]

What about my other question?

You cant upgrade it from v1.2 to v1.6

[Ninja Assassin]

Can you give me a tutorial to flash the phillips drive firmware?

I cant remember where you get the phillips firmware so you are on your own there. But here is the tutorial on flashing.

Sorry for posting extremely late like but I've had this problem fixed for a long time now. XD. All i had to do was tweak the ohms the xbox read at. Took me a full day to get it to work right. But worth the wait. XD
