I had the same problem, but with the legit copy that I paid for. I then put in the one at the beginning of this thread and all is good. Did you make sure that you chose the format option?
i did it first without the format then tried to do it again with the format...i have read all through this thread and others regarding this mod with little or no help to get it working again.
like i said i am just hoping to get it back to its original setup without the 3.0 update
