Install Firmware & Flash On The Xbox 360 Dvd Drive

Use a SATA cable to connect your Xbox 360 DVD drive to your computer.


Microsoft Xbox 360 consoles come with a DVD drive inside for reading games and movies. You can "flash" or install new firmware to the DVD drive using your computer and freeware software from the Internet. Flashing the DVD drive in your Xbox 360 allows you to run custom .BIN firmware files on the console. Flashing your Xbox 360 DVD drive takes about 30 minutes to complete.


Instructions


1. Open the Xbox 360 by removing the faceplate from the front of the console. Lift the plastic tabs on the outer shell and remove the outer case from the console. Unscrew the Torx screws from the metal interior case and slide open the metal cover. Unplug the SATA cable from the DVD drive and insert your own SATA cable from the DVD drive to your computer. Turn your computer on.


2. Run a web browser and download the freeware program JungleFlasher. As of September 2010, JungleFlasher is the most stable and updated .BIN flashing program for Xbox 360 consoles, and also remains the only program capable of flashing your Xbox 360 DVD drive within Windows (earlier programs required MS-DOS). Run JungleFlasher and click "Flash Xbox 360 DVD Drive" from the main menu. Select your Xbox 360 and click "OK." The program will flash your console's DVD drive .BIN firmware.


3. Wait for the flash process to complete, then close JungleFlasher and turn off the computer. Unplug the SATA cable from the Xbox 360 DVD drive to your computer and reconnect the SATA cable from the console to the DVD drive. Close the metal cover and rescrew the Torx screws. Replace the plastic outer shell and faceplate, then reconnect all power and video cables to the console. The console will work normally as soon as it is powered on.
