Taking The Firmware Off The Dvd Drive To A Floppy Options

[Progz1337]

Hi guys, I think my floppy where I have my backup firmware is not like losed, is it possible I can get the custom firmware off the dvd drive and put it on a floppy disk so I can get my dvd drive key back?

You are in luck!

I believe you can go through the same process as you did to flash it to save the firmware again.
With a samsung, just hook your DVD drive back up to your computer, and use your bootdisk or bootdrive or whatever to run samread or mtkflash r /m key.bin. Then in windows, use 360FWToolbox to get your key again.

As long as your Xbox 360 works (and even otherwise sometimes) the key in your firmware remains original.

Just a word of advice. As floppys are extremely error prone and will fail sooner or later, I suggest you burn the orig.bin to a cd-r or put it on a harddrive instead of a floppy once you have read out the FW again.

You don't need the unhacked FW either, you just need a firmware with your key in it. So if you have lost your original FW but the drive still works and got a good key (can play backups) then read/dump the current hacked FW and save the .bin somewhere safe. You can then base all further flashings on the key in the backed up FW.
