Did you guys notice that the update from Kinectimals (su20076000_00000000, CRC=038DC412, Dashboard: v2.0.12416.0) is the very same as the one from the AC:B/NFS:HP discs (CRC=038DC412, Dashboard: v2.0.12416.0), meaning that in the Step 3 the update is installed without the extra stuff found in the Video Partition (only the system update file), but then in Step 4, if you use one of the unpatched game discs, you're installing the very same update (you can find it inside the Game Partition), but now with the extra/missing files (avatars, etc...) from the Video Partition. Isn't this kind of redundant? Because you're installing twice the same update, except that the first time without the extras and then the full installation?. I bet that the second time it only installs the missing files.
Also, the link in Step 4 to the full update installation is not from the Brotherhood disc as it is described, because, while the files from the Video Partition are exactly the same (same CRCs), the System Update file is not -it has a different CRC- (CRC=6353009A) and it's two days newer than the one from Brotherhood.
Are people getting the same results (No AP Check) for both different final steps (the ones updating from unpatched discs, and the ones updating through the files from the link)?
And also, for the guys updating through the files from the link, which dashboard version do you see in your System Info screen?
I can only tell you that only following this specific chain you get the v2.0.12416 with no AP2.5 installed.
The vers number of the dash is posted in the tut after each update. The third and last update is the one installed by any of the AP2.5 games. In fact if you have 1.6+ activate disc or the LT, you can simply pop in a 2.5 game and skip this step instead. The console will get the update from there, providing the same results.
And the XVal still reports secdata clean.
Now, if you can find the rationale behind this, great, I'd like to know too. But if you think one step can be skipped, then you must be missing something, cause it wont work.
I dont know if this helps you with your research, but after the first updates, you lose the avatars, which will come back only after the last update.
Maybe the second and third updates provide the same dash version, but the last one restores also the avatar. I dont know if it also installs something to complete this AP2.5-less version, or that it would be enough with the second update (minus avatars), because if you're doing it for playing AP2.5 games, you'll have to play a AP2.5 game anyway sooner or later, and get the third update.
Hope I was clear enough lol
PS I think the AP2.5 game the last update is from was from Germany. I was told it's ACB, but it could also be NfS or Fable 3. Any AP2.5 game will achieve the same result. And that is that every single time the AP2.5 protection isnt installed. Either way (file or disc) they achieve the same results, that is an AP2.5-free kinect dash (otherwise they couldnt play the game after the procedure, in order to verify if it actually works....)
