If is real you cant simply flash it , you need to edit the flash file with the correct key that your DVD Drive haves and that means reading the flash chip which would need desoldering and hardware to read it.

That didn't take long, everyone knows you still need to desolder, but the secret is out, and most likely it won't be long before either people are selling premodded consoles or there is an easier way to flash.

Hey guys I know this may sound stupid but I watched the DVD and say no gameplay. Maybe they just could have put a video on that disk and let it auto launch from start up?

i dont think it would be illegal to release some kind of patch that you apply to your own firmware? would it

I must admit, I've purchased the odd pirate game before (only a few because they wern't good enough to warrant wasting £40 of my hard earnt money). Having said that, I agree that it's for good reasons not to release this. What some of you don't seem to understand, that all this can be used for is backups. Releasing this, when its sole purpose is pirates, will mean games will most likely go up FOR US. With the main factor that put people off chipping the Xbox1 (Xbox Live) not a problem, it could potentially ruin the gaming market.

Anyway, 99% of you pirating cry babies wouldn't have the guts/knowledge to open your 360 and start desoldering chips and flashing.

The same people wouldn't install 40 wire mod chips either. We knew either the pro mod chippers or premodded console sellers would benefit at first.

and not to forget there is no such thing as a replacement firmware. The user still would have to inject his own unique key in the code

MaxConsole has used part of this news post text per text and named it as their own. I just wanted to point out the paglarism going down. Trust me, I'm not trying to promote that site.

No, these files are not dated 2006, i don't know why it's reporting that to you. One of those files is listed as 2003.
