How do i know if its flashable? Its stock, has latest dashboard etc

Sorry again

The only way to find out what drive you actually have is open your Xbox, but more than likely it's a 0225 which not flashable yet until the firmware is released. Also, you'll either need the new EZ no solder PCB, pro modders kit, or a 9504 drive to flash it, because the 0225 drive is write-protected.

Thanks mate

The solder free kit, can inexperienced people like me use that? I know a guy who can flash it for me, but he takes so much money.

And do you know where i can order when of those?

Sorry again for all the dumb questions

Flashing the drive is egenrally easy if you read the instructions properly.

When the PCB is out you can purchase via a few site, one i use is:
www.modtraders.com

And yes an inexperience person can fit the PCB if they read and listen carefully to the instructions once available. Should be a piece of cake buddy, have no fear.

that i am like 95% sure is a 0225 only way to know 100% is to open it up.

but if you look on the side of it the side without the HDD slot thru the black vents and see a yellow sticker and don't want to void your warranty i wouldn't even bother to open it because its a very very good chance it is a 0225 i wouldn't open it at least not if i see a yellow sticker

also that pbc is not solder less i don't know why they say that honestly you have to solder the wires from on of the motors or something like 5 wires to the edge of the board unless it comes with them already on or something IDK. its like a yellow wire red and some other colors

this is from c4eva

[2011-06-20 03:53AM UTC] #fw <mickDub> i mean those are very easy to solder
[2011-06-20 03:53AM UTC] #fw <mickDub> but their advertising solderless
[2011-06-20 03:53AM UTC] #fw <kRoNiX> Yeah i was wondering the same thing
[2011-06-20 04:07AM UTC] #fw <c4eva> it is solderless

Who locked this thread and why?

It is solder-less. I read somewhere from either c4e or t-x, and it was stated that there is a clip of some sort.

Thanks all, really appreciate it, now the waiting game starts
