You Wish!
Read the Rules.

On Topic:
I'll be updating from 5.1 just as soon as I can. I have some "troublesome" media that my
MS28 drive does not like. Hopefully this will fix most of the issues experienced.

Thanks! C4E..

Again the great guys in the scene have done it, thanks for all your hard work !

I was just about to flash 5.1 (wanted to wait a while to see if there were any bugs reported for it), and now we get 5.2. If 5.3 is soon to be released I think I will wait abit more for that one instead though, I dont want to open/flash my 360 every week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

First off...great work c4e, you guys never cease to amaze.

Ok, I have some cheap media that, when I would burn xbox1 games to, my drive would report the "open tray" message, even with 5.1. So will this new 5.2 possibly allow that media to run?

I really need to do a SATA mod, so I won't have to keep opening my case...

What is this SATA mod you speak of? I didn't know such a thing existed.

will this work with XBM? when I go to load it it tells me it cant download a f/w definition which is understandable, but will this effect the flashing?

Sweet job C4E...

Formerly running 5.1B - had a few Open Tray Issues, so I thought what the hell and gave this a go:

Updated to 5.2A and everything is perfect - NO MORE OPEN TRAY!

Cheers dude!

I notice that the Toshiba-Samsung HD-DVD drive allows playback of more than one region of DVD - is this a feature that could be incorporated into a future Xtreme release?

I am willing to pay US$400 for a multi-region DVD-Video hack (for both the Toshiba and Hitachi drives).

Cheers,
Bourkie

I meant doing something like this. Relatively simple to make and saves a lot of time.

Nope, wont affect flashing, just click ok, and choose to use the firmware.

So Xbox Backup Creator 2.3 has some issues, I had no idea. What does XBC 2.2 do that 2.3 doesn't?

I saw 5.2 out last night on my last check before going to sleep. I nabbed it of the usual place and flashed my drive immediatly, had been waiting all day to test it out.

Sunday I had a movie not work (Night at the Roxbury) on 5.1. It currently boots and works fine with 5.2b

Oddly I had some xbox 1 backups I created from the original, all using the same method but burned to different discs not working also.

FTP to D and copy the contents to one folder, then create the XISO with GDFImage and GDFImageGUI

I burned CounterStrike to a Memorex DVD-R 8x disc, with 5.1 FW it made a horrible reading sound as if trying to access the same spot over and over. I had been using Memorex DVD-R and they had been working fine, but this was a new batch. The only difference in the 2 discs is one is 16x and the other is 8x. The 16x discs worked fine on 5.1, none of the 8x discs booted at all, same thing sounding if trying to access the same spot over and over. I was able to burn CounterStrike to my last 16x and it worked on 5.1.

With 5.2b both my 8x and 16x discs read fine. CounterStrike and Ghost Recon both run flawless on the Memorex DVD-R 8x discs.

However I do have 2 that are not working, Ghost Recon 2: 2011 Final Assault and Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike. With FA it doesn't even boot the disc and with SS it loads the disc but freezes at the first "Ghost Recon" logo screen. These might work on another media or possibly if I use a layout. Not sure, but I'll test some more if I have time tonight.

Lockon seems awesome, it was reading and booting some discs within 3 seconds last night. Very neat.

EDIT: I have also recenty removed the rubberband mod also, but haven't had time to really test and see how well the new FW addresses the open tray error. I had been plagued with "open tray" since the beggining and the only fix that worked 100% was the rubberband mod. Hopefully I'll have time to test that out tonight also.

1: Media brand used --------- Memorex DVD-R 8X and 16X
2: Burner used (and what firmware revision if you can) ---------- Pioneer 111D FW 1.19
3: Drive (ms25 or ms28), Console region (PAL or NTSC) and manufacter date please. --------ms25 NTSC
4: Which firmware you tested with (5.1a, 5.1c etc) -----------------5.2b
5: Backup game title, plus region (Halo, PAL or Halo, NTSC) ------------- CounterStrike and Ghost Recon NTSC

Great work once again c4e
