Gaming xk3y, flashed wrong firmware (ps3), error 64

[donkeyhigh]

Yeah, I screwed up, bigtime.
So, I was re-flashing my Xk3y firmware for some reason, not important. And I went to the downloadsite and downloaded the newest one.
Flashed it, and got a E64 error.
Turns out that means there's something wrong with your DVD player, in my case, most likely the DVD-key.

After a while of fiddeling, I realized I've flashed the frickin' 3k3y (Ps3 key) firmware, on my Xbox Slim.
Am I totally screwed now, or should this:

work, even though it's probably not meant for my case of screwup..?

Please tell me it'll work, I don't wanna open my Xbox if I don't have to, but I guess I got nothing to loose anyway.
Could always complain about warranty with the guys who modded it, but then I have to send it like.. to the other side of the country..

Help please?

Yep, you need to manually restore the SD image.
There's no other way unfortunately.

You could try to boot it and updating it with the latest Xkey firmware... but I dun think that'll help anymore.

Ok, so which one of these should I use?

Please say "first link"

Thanks for fast reply btw, you're always so good to me

 

[DinohScene]

You could try the first link, it seems the most logical.
Don't think your FPGA is bricked tho.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Thanks man. I'll do that.
Do I need my dvd key or anything for this, or just follow the guide step by step, without inputting anything specific?

 

[DinohScene]

DVD key must be placed again on the SD card.
With a bit of luck, it's still on there.
Otherwise, use the backup DVD key you have.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Ok, so on my SD card there were these files:
1175.txt
cpu.txt
dvd.txt
fcrt_enc.bin

I used the program in the tutorial, but I can't for the life of me find a dummy.bin anywhere..
Where do I get that?

edit:
Oh Jesus.. Just figured out what it is.. Hope to God they saved it in their system (the shop that did my mod, they said something about that.).
Weird that they didn't send me a disc with all the .bin files and cpu/dvd keys. Or at least a mail..

 

[DinohScene]

You... didn't delete those files?

They are needed for the Xkey to emulate the DVD drive.

 

[donkeyhigh]

No, I saved them. But do I also need the dummy.bin?

 

[donkeyhigh]

Hah, copied them all over to the sd, and the xbox booted :-)
Now I just gotta figure out how to make the xk3y remote work.. It's stuck at the bootscreen. It just xkey says 1.1, and I can't get to the menu.
Even tried changing the micro usb cable.. No go..

 

[DinohScene]

Nope, for those drives, the only files you need, you already have.

Edit: place the update on a USB an stick it in the Xkey without the remote, wait 5 mins and turn it off ;]

 

[donkeyhigh]

Mkay, I'll try that after work tomorrow. Gotta sleep now, it's really late. Hope it works. Gonna try shaving down the USB cable if not. Then disconnect and reconnect the flat cable if all else fails. That's my course of action for now. :-)

 

[donkeyhigh]

Now that I think about it. This all started because I flashed directly from a USB stick into the xk3y dongle, NOT through the remote. So the fact that it did in fact update (and screw up my xbox), means that there is nothing wrong with my dongle or connection to the xk3y. So the problem HAS to be the connection with the USB from the dongle to the remote,or the remote itself.
I'll try shaving down a USB tomorrow, and if that won't work, I'll open the remote to check that all the circuits are connected.

Oh, and update firmware.

Edit: I feel so hackerish with my xbox opened and cables everywhere. Would be awsome to make this work without having to pay someone to come do it for me :-P

 

[DinohScene]

Hm nope, It could be that it just needs another update.
Did you include the settings config with the update?

 

[donkeyhigh]

Flashed it with newest firmware. Nothing.
Pried open the remote, and found that the micro usb connection to the circuit board was loose.. Gonna need to refasten it with a ironing tool or whatever it's called in English. Like, the pen-thingy that's really hot and melts metal.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Bolting tool? Yeah I think that's it..

 

[donkeyhigh]

Soo.. About the MENUISO and MENUDVD. Is it a risk of getting banned with those enabled?
That's the main reason why I bought the remote and Wifi dongle. Was thinking I could maybe try it out while waiting for a new/repaired remote.

 

[DinohScene]

Soldering iron you mean ;p

MenuISO won't get you banned.
You can use it no prob ;]

 

[donkeyhigh]

Ok cool, learned two things in one post.
Gonna try menu iso..
Eh, also, is it possible to use a USB hub /splitter on the xk3y dongle, so I can use my wifi dongle? Or does it have to be through the remote?

Edit: nevermind, did a search, seems a USB hub will do the trick :-)

 

[DinohScene]

I think it has to be through the remote, you could try it tho.
