Hack the 360: The Tutorial - Xbox-Scene.com

Whilst the hitachi drives have a distinct recovery mode the samsungs show a code 70JUST after power on.I'm assuming this is a small recovery window that we can use.The MTKFLASH software doesn't really care what device is on the SATA bus at thebeginning, as long as it can detect something. Hence is people put a hot swap drive orhard drive on the sata bus, the software says "Ahh, SATA 1 has a device on there" andgives to the option to flash that port.Only when you press 1 on the keyboard to start flashing does it try to detect what KINDof device it is and waits for the required 70 code to start flashing.So in summary ..Get MTKFLASH working so it detects a device on your Sata bus (Either the DVD driveor a hard drive)Then start the flashing procedure JUST AFTER the dvd is given power, after a couple ofattempts it should catch the Code 70 and start flashing.Hope this helps.Thanks to:Kev/SeventhSon, Scener, Commodore4Eva, uberfry,Foros360.com, Xbox-scene.com, xboxhacker.net, Probutus, Bluecop, MacDennis,TheSpecialist, Gael360, Helldoc and everyone else who did the hard work.
