Swapping xbox 360 dvd drives
i have a couple 360s sitting around with the RROD and then one that doesn't have the rings of death but the dvd drive won't recognize anything is in it.
I swapped a drive from one of the other systems in it but when I put in COD4 it came up and said you need to run this on a xbox 360 to use it. Is there a firmware update or something I'm missing to make this work? |
Re: Swapping xbox 360 dvd drives
I'm pretty sure you have to get the "key" from the crap drive, and flash a firmware to the "good" drive with that key, but I'm not sure.
I gotta do the same to my 2 broke 360s. |
Re: Swapping xbox 360 dvd drives
you sure you have the same brand drive as stock? i know there were at least 3 different types/brands. ya there is some kind of key/firmaware deal you have to do. you might bed able to swap the laser assembly, although i would search around first

Re: Swapping xbox 360 dvd drives
Jorsher is right. You need to extract the key from the original drive's firmware and then reflash that into a new firmware file for whatever drive you're swapping it with.
It doesn't matter if you're swapping drive brands, it should still work. |

Cool, good to hear for sure because I've been too lazy to check into it. I just knew you had to have a drive with matching keys, and knew people sell the standalone drives online so there had to be a way.
Nice. |

If you lost your old drive and you don't have a copy of it's BIN file though, you are officially screwed and there is NO way to get your Xbox to work.
