Problems and Corrections with Birdy Flasher on Non-v46

Do not use the Birdy Flasher with Xtreme v1.3 / v2.0 and Geremia Patch on a non-v46 or else you will brick your Xbox 360 drive!

Gary at OPA (GaryOPA) found what was wrong with the script, explaining that “the problem is the flashing never gets to the (FL592) line, as the labels above are all pointing to the v46 code” as seen here:

Homebrew software made by people for free (and in their free time) is not going to be absolutely foolproof! If you’re going to flash or try free software, you always do it at your own risk!

Luckily, help is on the way. Geremia has released a fix for the Birdy flasher although it hasn’t been tested on non-v46 drives:
“I’ve corrected by hand the problems in original patch.scp and reverse.scp that caused bricked drives with birdyflasher, thanks GaryOPA for pointing, anyway i’ve not such drives to test myself, so use at your own risk or wait OPA latest fw to come.”
