Why not is all I can say..up until yesterday my 360 was working great. Needed the odd flick of the switch now and again but nothing major . But now Im stuffed. After using garyopas 1.3 ....so wish I had waited for Birdy's new release......... grr.gif Why is the scene more concentrated on a quick boot method (stupid me included) rather than getting somthing out that helps us poor Hitachi owners when we get a bad flash?. Samsung owners have nothing to worry about .....if it all goes tits up they just make a bootable floopy and all is well if we do it then we are lookin at £80+ for a fix.(new drive) What would you preffer a wait for 20 or so seconds or buying a new drive as there is no fix...............just wish I didn't have so much beer last night......20 second wait is so much better than upto 3 weeks for a new drive....

Are you sure your drive is dead.? The new firmwares have a restore feature that restores your firmware to stock even without an original firmware. Did you try to fix it?

The drive is not recognized in windows at all so I presume it is dead?!

Will this work if you cannot get your drive into mode b?

If the FW is butched...isn't the routine to get into mode b within the FW itself? Please confirm.

have u updated or changed your windows OS? if the drive is ejecting then it is not bricked. you just need to get it in mode b with the cross wire method and brute force the flash.

The drive will not open at all when its in the 360 and I press eject the light blinks once and thats it. When I do the cross wire trick it slick blinks like it should but It doesnt show up in bios ?
