Tutorial How to Flash any Xbox 360 Drive with a Laptop

[Gullible]

well explained and easily followed, nice tutorial man!

 

[prash8]

can you still flash like this with the newest dashboard update??

Yes

 

[prash8]

You can get your drive flashed. but it is a slim console then you need to unlock the disc chip board. Try to google for your slim cosole

I have an Xbox 360 s with a manufacturing date of Sept 2011, I have been told there isn't a hack yet to modify it so I can use backups of games. Is this true? I'm a new user and I apologize if I've missed something in the forum which has already answered this question. Thanks

Can you do this with a Slim Xbox 360?

yes slim can also be flashed but first of all you warranty would be void as there is no way to open your slim box without voiding warranty. next you will need to replace PCB (http://www.ck3.co.uk/liteon-dg-16d4s-replacement_pcb.html) and then you can flash your liteon drive ( if you slim has liteon drive).....

I think you should just edit or remove this tutorial..
basically any labtop made after 2003 ish does not have a pcmcia slot..

well my friend, i dont know what you are taking about but I did flash my drive with laptop. please check my you tube channel showing your the video ()
as long as you have tools i have mentioned in the thread above, you can do it easily.

I'm going to flash my Xbox 360 for myself the first time. I can't afford to keep paying $40+ every time firmware comes out lol. I have a laptop. My Xbox is BANNED and I don't care! I buy my games I play online and backups I play single player

So all I need is Xecuter X360USB PRO right? And of course, the tools to open the Xbox. Because since it's already banned, I don't need to worry about the power supply correct?

yes you would need to have all tools as i have mentioned above and some way to open your console easily/safely. but if you are drive is benq and not liteon, then you dont need " probe v3".

 

[prash8]

does this even work on liteon drives?

this is for liteon drive only my friend.....

 

[prash8]

if you have reasonable configuration in PC/Laptop then you don't need any card at all. Just buy tools as I have mentioned.

I know this is a while after you posted this. But what do I do with the vista thing? [se7en=xbox-360-tutorials/116632-install-portio32-vista.html]How to install Port I/O in Vista[/se7en]

Does this still work even with the newer Xbox consoles? Also how does one find out which kind of port their laptop has? I know these are probably retarded questions....

Is it possible to flash with just a sata to usb?

 

[FiXZD]

I have a eSATA on the side of my laptop, I'm leaning towards it will work, but im not sure, any conformation?

 

[joezmad]

Good tut, I was hoping I could flash my xbox through my laptop

 

[Wolf]

I had a friend do this a while back and he got console banned. Bahaha!

How likely would i get banned if i did this?

 

[Blockhead]

How likely would i get banned if i did this?

as long as its flashed correctly and your games are flashed correctly you shouldnt get banned but there isnt really a chart i could refer you to

Ok, so I bought a drive off ebay before knowing there were secret keys that match the xbox360 motherboard. Now my question is, I seen were people are buying the pcmia to perform the flash. However, I have an express card slot,, BUT, I also have a sata slot/socket. Does this mean I only need the sata wire that will connect to my sata port then connect to the drive Im wanting to flash with jungleflasher?

Phillips & BenQ = original drive
Toshiba/samsung = Replacement

I cant do the JTAG, do to my dashboard being higher then the version allowed, and having the xenon M-board that HAS been connected to live after july of 2009. I dont know if that of any relevance, but I did read that the JTAG wont work if your dashboard version is above 7xxx or higher then 4 digits, mine is 5 digits, something like 2.0.15574.0 or another. I will check back frequently. My problem is that dvd's work, bujt the games wont load. I get a message saying. To play disc put it in a xbox 360. THANK YOU, in advance

Hey is this forum dead, or is it just this thread. My ??? lies above, still unanswered, Someone please weigh in, thank you

Well explained and a good tutorial..​

​

Well done <3​

​

I wouldn't try it though as last time I had a flashed xbox I got consoled banned for playing mw3 before anyone else D:​

For people who do not have external sata ports on their laptops, you can go on ebay and search "usb to sata" or even "usb to sata or esata" < This option just has an esata port and a regular sata port, but they seem to be less expensive than one sata port alone for a reason I cannot see.

EDIT: I found this as an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-To-Sata...967?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a193149b7


EDIT 2: Do not do this, it will most likely not work.
