Re: xboxhdm23usb

So this adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ETKJTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) only locks drives, but throws the following error message when attempting to unlock them. When I plug in my original xbox drive it doesn't show up in Beta4, even in safe mode, but do...

Re: xboxhdm23usb

So I've got an adapter ordered, but it's currently backlogged. Have you guys ever seen someone use a Raspberry Pi to unlock an xbox HDD? I'm thinking something like this: https://github.com/manawyrm/pata-gpio . The write speeds appear to be atrocious (0.5 MB/s for that implementation), but it might ...

Re: xboxhdm23usb

Unfortunately this is the sign of an incompatible or faulty adapter. You have all the other options: get an IDE to SATA adapter and install a SATA drive in your Xbox, try another IDE adapter, get a SATA to IDE adapter and try to use the SATA port on the same USB adapter (even if I doubt this last o...

Re: xboxhdm23usb

More Info: After rebooting I've been able to get the first drive recognized again. This drive was previously working in my XBox, so it should be possible to lock and unlock it when connected to a proper IDE motherboard (and therefore presumably from a USB adapter). Data from device manager: HDD Devi...

Re: xboxhdm23usb

Are you getting any error? Is the HDD recognized by Windows, first of all? As of my posting, the drive was able to connect to Windows and display the correct size in disk management. It would actually show up in beta4, but only after toggling off "safe mode". When I selected it, I got lot...

Re: xboxhdm23usb

I've got an old 3.5" IDE drive that I pulled out of my old XBox. If I remember correctly, I think I corrupted some of its dashboard files while trying to repair it. I'm trying to use xboxhdm-2.3-beta4 to unlock it and restore it from a backup, but my USB to IDE adapters don't seem to be support...
