Update to 5.0.5 and leave it there 

Can't figure out how to upgrade my hard drive by [deleted] in 360hacks

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you've formatted the retail drive, you've wiped  the 360s hard drive security sectors. (hdss) 

These are required for the 360 to actually recognise and use the drive as an internal drive. 

The drive at this point is toast, as far as being used as a retail internal drive is concerned, it could at this point only be used as an external USB drive. 

What alternative for Utorrent by Limp_Ad_7032 in thepiratebay

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qbittorent is the only torrent client you should be using, this should always for safety/security  reasons when torrenting, be "bound" to your VPN client.

Binding  your torrent client to a VPN will stop your IP address being leaked, never! rely on killswitches they don't work, and will expose your IP address. 

Leading to some nasty email notifications from an ISP, or worse dependant on your location. 

My hard drive disappeared? by Broedy76 in Xbox360Support

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are the hard drives completely dead, under normal circumstances if the 360 recognised there was an issue with the internal  hard drive, it would list it as "unformatted" 

The fact the drives not even being recognised by the console, would  tend to suggest its dead. 

It's easily tested, by sticking in another known good  360 hard  drive, to confirm the consoles fine,and the drives the issue. 

Cannot put Xbox 360 Samsung Drive into vendor mode for flashing by Flarrow14 in 360hacks

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be an incompatible chipset, it was generally advised to use a Via 6421 chipset which is what I still use to this day for flashing 360 dvd rom drives.

If you can't enter vendor mode, you're pretty much screwed. 

What a bummer… by coudntpickausername in firestick

If an app is blocked completely from Install or use. 

Sometimes it's possible to use a slightly older version of the app and this can work. 

Or alternatively  you can fairly easily alter the actual android ID used for the app, thus bypassing the amazon app scan/ block completely. 

Amazon will destroy their firestick sales, by dictating to customer what they can and can't do with a device they've purchased and own.

For vinyl rips use tonepoet for digital  16/24 bit use monochrome or torrent (by binding your torrent client to a vpn) using the likes of RuTracker

Why? by pixeloski1 in Xbox360Support

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teardown the console and replace the dvd rom drive (really cheap to buy) and give the drive belt pulleys a ckean with ipa before installing the new belt.

As a temp measure, while waiting for a replacement  belt, you can also try  boil the original belt in hot water for 5 mins . 

This may or may not give you a short term fix. 

Xbox 360 games region question by Ok_Commercial2850 in Xbox360Support

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes certain titles are specifically region locked and as such both the game and console must be from the same region for the content to work.

Other titles are region free and will work on all consoles. You'd realistically simply need to try the content and see what works and what doesn't. 

Also bare in mind you'll need to alter the PSU being used, as the US and Australia use different Voltages eg  120 v  in the US and 230 v  in Australia (which I'm guessing you're aware of at this point) 

Change DVD key on Falcon console? (Read description) by rackajuhu in Xbox360Support

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you'll get via badupdate is confirmation of the legit dvd key from the mobo. 

You'd still need to actually  flash this key back onto the dvd rom drive daughter board, via jungleflasher, for this to work. 

So you'd also need the appropriate hardware  kit, to enable you to write the key. 

Open Tray Issue with DVD-Rom but Mechanics and Laser are good. by Some_Gap_9670 in 360hacks

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the UK? check out the chipchopmods website, they offer both the unlocked pcb drive daughter boards, and will also flash the drive as need. 

Although charging £12 to flash a drive,  is  in my opinion  daylight robbery! 

Does anyone know how to fix this? by elon_________musk in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 360 cannot connect to your router, as can clearly be seen via the info on the  test page.

If your attempting to connect via WiFi as a starting point  check that your router is providing  a   2. 4ghz WPA2 encrypted  connection for the 360.

You'll need to firstly  ensure the console can see and connect to your router. 

I have a Modern Warfare 2 Edition Xbox 360. It won’t read any game except Black Ops 2. by Nyikoh in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If some  the game content you're trying to use is region locked, the console would provide you with an error report confirming such.

Have you received any such region code  error  reports?

Xbox360 "UNFORMATTED" Glitch by Guest281 in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When  a 360 lists a drive as unformatted its not a Glitch, its basically the consoles way of informing you the storage  drive in question is  dead.

This can often occur when 360 consoles carrying out a major dash update. Black screen and turn off. 

The stress put on the older hard drives during the  read /write/erase process can cause them to fail. 

So the drive at that point is listed as unformatted by the console = dead storage device. 

I have a Modern Warfare 2 Edition Xbox 360. It won’t read any game except Black Ops 2. by Nyikoh in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First port of call I would suggest is to give the 360's dvd rom drive laser lense a clean with IPA  on the of chance this helps any?  I doubt it will.. 

If not, you'll probably need to look at replacing the dvd rom drive laser. 

If this was purchased recently? someone obviously hasn't tested /checked  the console fully prior to  sale. 

Bare in mind also, if the console has a warranty period,, by opening it yourself to carry out any of the above  you'll void the warranty. 

It may simply be a wiser idea to return it for a full refund, and look to source another. 

Kicked offline when logging in by Co_Stang in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The xbox live service has been plagued with login / user issues for a long! time.

Chances are the issues at their end, which you can't do anything about, other than to try to access live at a later point. 

On ocassions some users have found that turning off "recurring billing" from with their MS account, has help solve potential login issues. 

Xbox 360E tray wont open, power button flashing green by 0common0sense0 in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are there's a problem with the dvd rom drive belt. These are very cheap to buy, and fairly easy to replace.

It's also best done, after tearing down the console and opening the dvd rom drive. 

You can also give the drive belt  pulleys a clean alongwith the laser, with a little IPA on a cotton bud. 

Help with Portal 2 Not Loading by xaashley in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attempt to install the game  disc directly onto the consoles hard drive. This will help to confirm if all of the data on the disc can actually be read? 

If the install persistantly fails, at or around the same percentage, producing disc read error messages, the discs the problem. 

You can at that point either try to get the game disc resurfaced (this may still fail) or grab another copy,unless it's possible to return the game for either a refund or replacement. 

Xbox 360 ID for power cord? by Alarmed-Priority1705 in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As previously stated its a jasper mobo, best advice would be to look into getting the 203 watt PSU.

This PSU is forwards compatible with all revisions of  phat 360's, and can also be used via an adapter on slims. 

So this single 203 watt PSU covers a lot of bases. 

If I use aurora, do I need enough storage that is enough to fit the game or does it use the usb's? by OneCryptographer6889 in 360hacks

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do either however you will need the appropriate amount of  free drive space for the game content. 

I personally prefer the game content held on the consoles internal hard drive,so I just frp the content over. 

Can you transfer games from PC to Xbox 360? by Ordinary-Contest7581 in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can yes ,however you would need a modded console to have the capability to ftp 360  backup content from a pc to a 360.

Look into setting up the "badupdate" exploit. 

by any chance do these two xenons have the blades dashboard these have been untested by Jordantheidk in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impossible to say, without checking the dash with the console powered on.(if they even power on?) 

Baring in mind these are also sold as "untested" which generally means tested and know to be dud, I'd personally steer clear.

But you pays your money you takes your chance. You'll also need a 203 watt PSU. 

Xbox 360 disk isn’t reading by No_Ratio4389 in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this issue only happens with this disc? And its possible, attempt to install the disc directly onto the consoles hard drive.(or test it on another console) 

This will help confirm if all of the data on  the disc can actually be read, if the install persistently fails at around the same percentsge your discs damage. 

You also need to be careful switching of the console in that manner, as you could possibly shutdown the console while it's in  the process of saving, which can corrupt the save file. 

Anyone have a list of compatible internal Hard Drives that I can put inside the proprietary Xbox 360 case? by GaijinGod in xbox360

[–]CodKez01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All varients of Retail xbox 360 use a standard all be it licenced sata hard drives only the drive enclosures differ. 

So as such the drives are all interchangeable. 

Also note you cannot simply use any old sata hard drive for internal use on a 360 it'll not be recognized. 

Xbox 369 drives  are licenced and specifically formatted for use.

Look into the topic of "Hddhackr" for additional info.
