Toshiba-Samsung 360 Auto Flasher v1.0
Posted by Iriez | July 3 17:22 EST

This package makes a bootable USB key including all the files needed to backup, flash and recover your Samsung Xbox360 Firmware, all in one simple automatic process!

Thanks to Flash78 for the tool! Translated by geebee.
C4E patcher based upon xtreme_legal_patcher sources, thanks to JbOnE for compiling DOS version :) Thanks to geebee for the organization and .bat work.

PS- Incase anyone is wondering why we re-invented the wheel, the kdx dos based key patcher has proven to be very unreliable. The patcher included
is based on the xtreme_legal_patcher patches the firmware to c4e's hack, without messing with any of the key's. No more botched firmwares
and headache's for those of you trying to figure out 'what went wrong' :)

Jul 3 2006, 09:56 PM

could we use this, and add our own working firwares and still use this to flash between 0800.bin and xtreme.bin?

i just like the stability of the USB over a floppy drive that i worry will crap out in the middle of a flash.

Flash78 helped with the spanish version. The real thanks should go out to commodore4ever for his public posting of the firmware hack, and to whoever released the xtreme_legal_patcher with source that made life easy

And definitly to geebee for writing all those .bat files..haha, man that probably took forever

And JbOnE for being bored and wanting to help me

so this can modify your dvd drives firmware without opening your 360?

so it wont void the warranty?

Immidiate responses are greatly appreciated. thanks, adam.

This tool makes a bootable USB key including all the files needed to backup, flash and recover your Samsung Xbox360 Firmware,
all in one simple automatic process!

Installation:

1. - Extract the archive to your hard drive

2.- Insert your USB Stick

3. - Format your USB Stick with the HP Usb Disk Storage Format Tool included (HPUSBFW.EXE), select FAT32 and "Create a DOS Startup Disk"
using the files included in the folder. Check the Pictures folder for visual assistance!

4. - Copy the contents of the archive to the root directory of your USB Stick (if space is a issue, or you are using a
floppy, simply copy the autoexec.bat and firmware + command folders over. If you know which card you have, you may
copy only the neccessary folder within the firmware folder, e.g. Via or Nforce4.)

5. -Run Bios Agent to find your chipset (see pictures folder)

6. - Adjust Your BIOS Settings to boot from the USB Stick

7. - Boot to your USB Stick

8. - run autoexec.bat to start.

Sidenote - Those of you who wish to utilize these tools on a floppy may skip all the instructions, and just copy the neccessary autoexec.bat,
command folder, and needed firmware folder over.

No. No tool exists for such a thing, and most likely no tool ever will. If you want to mod things, you must open them. No free rides on the fairy this year.

It's absolutely there 110%. Dated 3.7.06. Your looking at something thats not relevant with the date you quoted ie. 28.5.06.

has anyone tested this new automatic flasher yet? is it any good? is it worth switching from the pendrive setup i already use with ease?

This release is based upon that previous release. If you would have looked at the file, you would have seen that the Via folder exists in this release.

QUOTE(Overloaded @ Jul 3 2006, 10:46 PM)

It is intended to use with a pendrive. The large point of the release is not to make a bootable thumbdrive, it is a series of tools combined togeather with a batch set of commands that will make it so you do not have to boot into windows to edit your key. It extracts, patches, and reflashes the firmware all in one go. Simply follow the instructions in the readme, by copying the autoexec, command and firmware folders over, and it will make life much easier on you. Your old method is outdated.

A note to all users: MTKFLASH is not designed to work with all chipsets. Please refer to This thread here to learn if your sata card is compatible or not with this program.

While the release covers the more popular chipsets, we simply cannot add every single edited mtkflash.exe to work with every chipset released ever.

So if you are experiencing errors with mtkflash, you are using the wrong version, or your chipset is not supported. You will have to do more research to find out how to fix the problem if it IS fixable. I had to purchase a VIA 6421L PCI sata card to get this hack to work.

there are threads at xboxhacker.net's forums that discuss editing mtkflash to get it to work with your chipset, IF it is supported. Read up.

look very nice,

i hoop they release something for the Hitachi drives soon!

Jul 4 2006, 08:18 AM

I read the Readme in the package, and im still confused unfortunately, i just dont see, i thought that the mtkflash way was easy enough, i think ill stick with that, due to me not really caring about a "easy way" unless my snake can do it for me.

Still a good tool to host or for anyone to use, looks good to me!

geebee

Jul 4 2006, 08:51 AM

The main point of this method is that it no longer requires moving the key in Windows, or in fact using kdx at all which is not 100% reliable.

Boot to usb key.
Press the appropriate number.
Done.
Restart XP.

I finally got to test this on a spare sammy today.

I get the following errors:

When performing the Backup, patch and create xtreme fw step (step 1)

It backs up fine 100%, then on the second step I get "Load error: No DPMI Get csdpmi*.zip
C:\Firmware\VIA
Press any key to continue

(when trying to create xtreme.bin with the new patch utility.)

Then continues to step 3 - Creates xtrm0800 fine with ppf patcher fine.

Then I try to use the restore original fw (option D) and I get Updating 00% Error Input File Mismatched.

The drive goes dead until I use another spare sammy to hotswap and then recover.

If any one has any inputs or wants me to try something else let me know. I got a couple sammys to screw with.
