good luck!

Cat or mouse, fixes or not, this is IT.  Every console that has been compromised continues to be compromised again and again.

Even with Xbox 1, M$ changed the security on newer games, until the patcher was upgraded to patch the new scheme.

I don't know if it's good or bad that a lot of pirates are too lazy or too stupid to go through a step-by-step guide..

So i cant post ive got the goodies but he can..id like to brag that i have it also..whats so wrong.

[edit by AG] What's wrong is you posting useless crap (Like one line posts that say "I've got the goodies") that doesn't contribute to this thread at all. [/edit]

no no.. i think i got the hang of this.. you need to in-clude some informative information in your post.. to help the noobs h4x0r their drives.. but not too informative as to let them go and download the tools necessary.. or even talk about said tools too much in detail.. so basically.. if you flash your drive with the one firmware.. you can get the information to make an ss.bin file... after that.. you can inject all the raw dumps.. you just happan to have.. form PI and other groups..  (you prolly used kazaa and BT didn't you, i know.. it'll be ok) or you can make one of these images.. as described in the insturctions.. use their little .bat tool to burn the image on a dvd dl.. and poof.. you're set

that tutorial does not apply to this hack.

[Niqanx]

Sorry to harp on, but...

Can someone who has tried this confirm or disprove that ALL backups work? Regardless of region?

I suspect that they cant, but before I hack my Jap system, I'd like to know. If indeed they cant, people should realise the importance of region before attempting to download game torrents. This isn't like a mod chip. If you're still region locked with this hack, you'd better be sure of what region you're downloading or it's "currently" a waste of time.

Peace out.

(PS, if M$ thought that the firmware was a vulnerability, wouldn't they have signed it? They may indeed not be able to detect it...)

Stupid question.. is there currently a tool to extract dvd key from original firmware?  
I know there are tools for this for the orginal xbox samsung correct?  

They say.. usually at $4000-4200 just wondering what the name of a tool would be to pull and maybe insert this for you without manually doing the hex editing?

Thanks

The region of backup HAS TO MATCH THE REGION OF CONSOLE!
no one will be able to PROVE ALL backups work because the
firmware was just released.. give it time soon we will no if SOME games do not work.

Affirmative Blue!! Sorry my mistake i didnt read it   the correct tutorial is in-cluded in the readme files with the firmware. Btw Blue with all the knowledge and your skills do you think with this release it will be more easier to hack the Hitachi-LG drive with all the debug command in-cluded in the original firmware and the new hacked firmware? Personally im not an expert as you are but can we exept something soon??

you know, I do have to ask one thing (then later answer it)...  if we can't share the links to this firmware, then why post it in the forums for people to descuss?

This thread is here to discuss everything about this news release except where and how to get the file... Things like, as a few examples, the impact this may have on xbox live or future security enhancements to the xbox 360.

In my opinion it's pretty useless, although a nice first start.

The only good thing is that you can play backups of your original discs after a lot of work/modding. Nothing more, nothing less. No homebrew code or copying games to a HDD so they can be played much faster. This is only interesting for pirates and people who are very desperate to backup their games.

Anyway, time for the next (more important) stage of Xbox 360 modding: homebrew code!

[nachomans]

Remember that many games are region free....so backups of this games, should work in all x360....

just to let you guys know. some of the "scene" releases don't have the video part of the disc and would need to be padded to work with this hack. not to mention the SS patching.


nachomans: not all games are region free. its up to the developer

I am EAGERLY anticipating the movie of someone running this mod, with a backup - showing the cables etc - proving it can be done - I don't care if it's 200mb and 30 minutes from start to finish with no breaks - I gotta see it ASAP.

I'm going to guess - IF they don't fix future X360 games, and we never connect to live again - it'll last forever?

Very true. Is it just me, or did all of the posting come to an end? Well, I'll definitely be checking back regularly for that Hitachi firmware. Props and good luck to the moderators on keeping this thread clean. It seems like a rather stressful task. The Scene moves forward--unstoppable as it is.

A lot of work? Are you kidding me? In a few days it will be as easy as
1) Attach drive to PC and run some kind of patcher (reads FW, applies hack, flashes hacked FW)
2) Download a pre-patched ISO.
I can't believe how some of the wannabe hackers are getting scared as soon as they see hex code.

Besides, this is far from useless, it opens LOTS of doors for further investigation. We only need one game that has exploitable code and we'll be "in".

Thanks you for this awesome firmware, now where do I get a 360 with samsung drive

[SniperKilla]

having a hard time dumping my original firmware with mtkflash.. appears to work fine, the first 0x200 of the output bin is data, then the rest of the file is F6F6
