How to Flash Lite on Drives

A SATA cable connects the DVD drive in the Xbox 360 to your computer.

Xbox 360 consoles are manufactured by Microsoft Corp. and are shipped with several brands of DVD drives inside. These brands include Hitachi, Samsung and Lite On. You can use your computer and freeware software from the Internet to "flash" or edit the .BIN firmware files on any brand Xbox 360 DVD drive. Flashing the Lite On DVD drive in your Xbox 360 will take about 30 minutes to complete.

  Open a Web browser and download the program JungleFlasher. As of September 2010, JungleFlasher is the most stable and updated program for flashing Xbox 360 DVD drives. It is the only program that can flash Xbox 360 DVD drives from within Windows (earlier programs required MS-DOS). Run JungleFlasher and click "Flash Xbox 360 DVD Drive" from the main menu, then select your Xbox 360 and click "OK." The program will begin flashing your Xbox 360 Lite On DVD drive.

Replace the plastic case and front faceplate on the console, then reconnect all cables and accessories to the system before turning it on again.
