I have decided to try and flash my 360 liteon driver by myself. I have a cople of questions.

first of all my 360 is flashed before and i got Iextreme 1.51 right now, but i dont have my "key" can i get it back somehow?

i also wonder if i need ck3 kit when my 360 is now flashed or is it enought with a regular S-ata cable?

If i brick my drive can i restore it somehow?

I am reading the JF guide right now and its saying that i need a VIA chipset, what is it and where can i get it?

appreciate ur answers

PS. anybody knows where i can get the tools for opening the 360 without damage it?

yes, you have to extract it from your drive, like when flashing it the first time

see above. you need the kit. connecting the drive to a s-ata board is for the actual flashing part

depends on how you brick it Cool Face

chipset = the "heart" of your motherboard. there are various chipsets (intel, nforce, via etc). should be written somewhere in your mobo documentation or just look it up on the internet to find yout which chipset you've got

you can get a torx screwdriver set in almost any tool shop

To further add to Bushwacka's instructions; you'll need a T8 and T10 (Torx 8 and Torx 10) screwdriver pair.

wasn't it a t6 too (for the damn small black screws from the x-clamps)? it's been a while, don't know for sure. just buy the whole torx set, they come in handy from time to time for many other things too and cost next to nothing

Ah, I wouldn't know - I never removed the X-Clamp brackets. It could well be a T6 as well - either way; you're definitely right about that last part ... get the set, lol. Torx screwdrivers are invaluable.

Ive never tried flashing a liteon before. I heard its pretty difficult. Flashing a Hitachi (my previous drive) with JF was a freakin nightmare so I can only imagine how much more annoying a liteon would be.

I agree JF effing sucks. I dont understand why it gets so much praise. I remember flashing Samsungs with iPrep back in the day, it was simple and fast. And flashing Hitachis were even easier, just run a cmd file and sit back & enjoy

Although flashing BenQs with JF is pretty chill I gotta admit Laughing

Back when I had my 360, I flashed my Benny with iPrep and DOSFlash. Never had any issues. When 1.6 came out, I just hooked my 360's drive to my PC - and ran iPrep again. Effortless.

If you dont have a tiny screw driver try using a safety pin Laughing Thats what I use , I keep several in my tool kit. Also if your reflashing JF can pull your key it has the option to do that. Its always better to use the original key but as you dont have it what other choice do you have. Good luck!

The newest liteon drives are the easiest really, no need for soldering or connectivity kit. Its almost ridicolous since you need a connectivity kit for the older liteons Razz

wait, what? so it's basically just like the old samsung ms25 where you only need a s-ata connection and nothing else? Very Happy

Indeed, there is a small chance the key might get corrupted but far as im concerned there is zero chance if you read the instructions carefully

also some more info from Afterdawn

If you are using the 360 to power the drive, eject the drive, remove the power plug from the drive, push it halfway in, and then plug the power cable back up. Once prompted to eject the tray fully, press the eject button to close it, then press it again to eject it fully.

*laughs* Well this'll do quite nicely then .. as I'm replacing my 360 soon and was dreading the whole "connectivity kit" bollocks. Though, heh, what's the betting that I get one of the newer August 09 Lite-On drives? Rolling Eyes Laughing
