Hi all,
I just to share with you all my experience

I manage to come across BEVS series of HDD @ PCFAIR KL and get myself a unit of 160GB

to my surprise, after try to flash it with 3 PCs..none of them work
tried the whole night , research ... still no hope

so today plan to exchange for a new HDD... just before i make up my mind, i remember that i have a spare WD Passport Essential 160GB

I decided to open it up and try to flash the drive and voila ~ the drive is flash-able , and guess what, the drive series is WD1600BMVS

so my conclusion that , the 160GB BEVS do not have faith with me , instead the WD1600BMVS is more flexible with me

so now i need to get the Trorx 6 and 10 screwdriver

ps- the shop that i can get the BEVS is Computer War @ PC Fair KL

ya.. i guess so... mine is Nov08 batch...
maybe M$ already request WD to 'patch' those series since my drive is quite new? LOL

anyway, i manage to flash it using my BVMS series and restore the content. I have no luck with Hex Workshop , so i use WinHex in order for me to view Partition 2 and 3

well , i manage to restore all my data to new drive , but some save games and my avatar corrupted ...

update the system setting bring my avatar back
but save files cannot recover T_T

lol, i guess it is okay , since currently i only play POP , as long as the save game not corrupt , is okay for me..
rest of the games , have not really go into it , so just restart again ~

@Veggis - try to do the hexing part from the tutorial (download the doc from the first page attachment) . You need to edit 3 lines to make it work

@anttwerrp - i am same with you , but not same error message (something like FW not writable) . I have the BEVS , but it is not working. I use another series (BMVS) from my WD passport and i able to flash it .

@Veggis , any progress for your HDD?

mine BEVS 160GB cant be flash ,ended up as portable drive

somehow , i take out the WD Portable Passport drive and able to use on the X360 ... O_o
