How to Restore a Flash Drive With JungleFlasher

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

Microsoft Xbox 360 consoles are manufactured with DVD drives inside that can read movies and games. You can use your computer and the freeware program JungleFlasher to "flash" or edit the BIN firmware on your Xbox 360 DVD drive to run custom code. You can also use the program to restore your DVD drive to its original settings should you wish to reverse the flash process. Restoring the DVD drive in your Xbox 360 with JungleFlasher will take about 30 minutes to complete.
