I hang my head in shame, despite it coming across as total BS, it does appear to have been added on the 18th.  

 Still, I don't think it's rocket science to come up with a story like that.  It seemed logical to me that once we discovered there was encryption on the buses, and the fact that part of the HDD is keyed to the unique ID, it's completely logical to say that there is at least 1 unique ID used for 'locking' devices to the 360, which is logically going to happen just after the virgin hardware has been filled with the latest kernel and its unique ID after manufacturing.  From that point only 'special tools' will allow the encryption to be switched off.  The sorts of tools required will exist, but what you need to look at is the fact they existed also for the original XBOX, and how many of them leaked out?  I don't think MS let anyone except themselves have controlled access to these kind of support tools / systems.  And they aren't going to leak out.

Does anyone remember the equivelant tools leaking from MS for the original XBOX?  I mean, to diagnose / reflash the TSOP / unlock / lock HDD etc?

Can somebody post information about how the dumps of drive firmware were done? because I want to get the correct hardware just in case I need to read that 16 bytes.

By removing them and using a flash programmer to read them.
Good luck, many of the PLCC flash chips are covered in epoxy ..

Could you point me to some device (web page, etc) capable of read that PLCC flash chips, because mine just reads serial eeproms.

Thanks

do you guys remember how m$ put a code on the xbox1 that when you press the buttons in order in the system settings or info it would reformat the hdd?
mainly for use in repair shops and such

maybe the riddle points to a location and time that you set on you 360 and it allows it to run unsigned code or some type of boot disk?
can some one see if xboxes where actually sold in everyone of those locations in the settings menu?
like setting it to pakistan at 12:00 would give you 60 sec to pop in that boot disk?

just a thought

i dont think he is completly lying
if i had what he claims i would not just randomly leak it online.... i would want the credit for it but not to where m$ would be able to take legal action
hes trying to find a way to leak without breaching to contract

[PS2MXBOX]

go ahead and try it yourself. the rest of us have pretty much determined this thread to be a pointless one

[SniperKilla]

I live in Pittsburgh, tell me what gamestop it is so i can come an punch you in the face.

[spinr34]

so, after reading all 11 pages i'm convinced it's DJSkyD. as some other people have already mentioned.

sorry to break my silence on this topic and ruin your day

but my sn dj on msn is the first and middle initals of my primary alias
the name is David Joseph ********

although most of my friends just call me "D"

i go out a lot and meet with various contacts
and somebody started saying to other people "hes out fishing" because i was out fishing for info

and from that i got my nickname Poseidon since he is the god of the sea and i am the god of fishing for info
(the reason the "E" and the "I" is switched was an inside joke and i do not want to explain it right now)
i also have a nickname that came grom this as well "posse"

[Hazard-tb3]

ok poseiden what was the reason you posted all that?........
just to tease?
you could have someone make a homebrew prog for you then run the unsigned code using your methods
then take pics of the 360 running the homebrew (which is in no way a breach of the contract)because it is your own software not the boot disk

[GeToChKn]

Well theoritically speaking, if this guy could run unsigned code, how is someone else supposed to make the homebrew software?  No dev kit software is out yet.  Also, how is someone supposed to develop software if they can't even run it themselves to test it?
