Hacking DVD flashing without expensive kits?

[MultipedBeatle]

I recently got the idea to flash my Xbox 360 Lite-On drive, but I was wondering if I could do it with this setup instead of buying an adapter. The only thing plugged in is the sata cable to the pc. No power adapter to the xbox. My idea is to use the xbox to power the DVD drive. I just want to know if I could do this.

Is it the 14ds or 15ds if its a 15ds it can not be flashed. Other than that it won't be much of a problem to do what you are currently doing. @DinohScene would know more than I do

i looked on the drive and saw 14c, manufactured jan 2011. so it wouldnt be a problem to plug in the xbox 360 with the sata plugged into my computer?

As far as I'm aware it shouldn't but I'd wait for @DinohScene because they'll know for sure and give specifics

No, I don't sorry unfortunately I always end up with nonflashable drives. That maybe something @DinohScene can also help with.

You'll need a compatible SATA chipset to even recognize the drive in windows.

Slim drives have a high chance of being locked after the 13599 update which coincidentally reflashed all the drives to update the firmware.
Worst case scenario, you'll have to drill into a chip in order to unlock it.

Honestly, you're better off getting a second hand phatty 360 if you want to burn backups.
Or you could opt to dump the firmware of the slim and install an Xkey.
That way you won't have to deal with trying to make perfect burns.

Splice this wire and add a switch, plug modified cord into 360, use switch to power cycle when needed

Or just buy a blank drive pcb, use rgh to get your DVD key, I'd try to flash a Trinity drive with my jasper key, just to see what happens, slims imho have the best drives in terms of vibration and noise
