First off this is not English class so everyone that is complaining about grammar can just stop now! Also to the guy with the idea about calling MS and straight up lying to them to try and get back on live, You knew the risk when you opened the 360 and this site does will not condone this kind of post. With more post like that you will not only be banned from xbox live but also from this site!

This is not english class, but why should I care about what people post, when they refuse to put in the slightest bit of effort in order to make a post that is acutally readable?

Sure people make mistakes, and english is not everybody's native language, but using caps, and a little interpunction never killed anybody.

It's very simple: If you want people to take the time to read it, you should take the time to type it.

NME is banned aswell. Anyone who uses a non-stealth backup (and NME style SS is *very* detectable) will be banned eventually.

NME is deffo banned cus mine's nme 1,2 and thats finished with live

About an hour ago commodore4Eva posted that on IRC to the #fw channel on Efnet. Once done of course, he’ll need to test it. the following are key questions answered, and comment that Commodore4eva was able to provide. I’ve removed anything not related to c4eva’s comments, and in some cases altered the post order to make it more readable tying Questions to their Answers as provided by c4eva.
(07:56:09) (+c4eva) fw is 95% done, one section to go, then testing begins

(08:00:42) (+c4eva) going from 5.3 to iXtreme was a code massacre! but much more secure and safe for all

(08:01:54) (diggyz) c4eva: so there will be a hitachi with media stealth aswell?

(08:02:01) (+c4eva) yes

(08:02:47) (Mangoo) is spoofing going to be possible with the new firmware ?

(08:03:38) (+c4eva) mangoo:spoofing is always more of a risk

(08:03:42) (ak47) so c4eva the new firmware will only play games if they are stealthed? what about my non stealthed burns they are waste?

(08:04:00) (+c4eva) ak47:yes, or use on old fw

(08:04:06) (tech_) am i better off using a hitachi rather then spoofing a sammy to a hitachi?

(08:04:41) (+c4eva) tecK:ok at present

(08:06:14) (+c4eva) the bannings has certainly made all those who doubted stealth very quiet

(08:06:09) (baphomet) c4eva: will you support the older style firmware, or are you going to move on to maintaining the live-capable firmware?

(08:07:18) (+c4eva) baphomet:live only

(08:09:59) (tech_) c4eva: your opinion on the subject matter? I have virgin xb360.. with hitachi and brand new samsung drive… should i just wait on your new fw for hitachi or should i swap/spoof and use sammy fw?

(08:10:36) (+c4eva) tech:no i would stay with the sammy for now

(08:12:53) (+c4eva) helo:we are getting daily logs now of live disk checks

(08:13:50) (+c4eva) so we will know from now on if anything changes in disk checks

(08:15:16) (heloWorld) c4e: with this foul swoop of banning, are you anticipating a quickish response from ms, or do you believe you’ve got the bases completely covered ?

(08:15:45) (heloWorld) c4e: i mean, nobody has a crystal ball, but it sounds like you’ve nearly got backups replying exactly the same as originals when stealthed correctly

(08:16:03) (+c4eva) heloworld:it will take some time i think

(08:15:39) (jas0nuk) c4e do microsoft have a way of detecting spoofed drives?

(08:16:43) (+c4eva) jas0nuk:yes, it is more risky

(08:16:51) (heloWorld) c4e: well if it is in fact true that ms aren’t detecting alterations in the firmware directly, sounds like this iXtreme will give people a good run on live b4 m$ come up with another detection method

(08:17:58) (+c4eva) helo:yes, a long time i hope, MS are running out of options

(08:20:32) (HolyRoses) c4eva: any ideas why some are banned and others not?

(08:21:08) (+c4eva) holy:stealth disks

(08:21:53) (Antman_) c4eva: How would we know if any backups have corrupted ss.bin or dmi or pfi? is it possible to check this on the disc. As I saw mentioned some ripped with other drives than samsung are not correct

(08:22:31) (+c4eva) antman:yes iXtreme will not boot these

(08:29:36) (+c4eva) my only regret was not ENFORCING stealth earlier, would have saved many sammys

(08:33:14) (+c4eva) there comes a point, hopefully with iXtreme, that there are no more options left for detection, or too risky for MS

(08:34:25) (+c4eva) now that we have gone done the secure path, it actually makes it easier and clearer

(08:34:35) (|sanchez|) c4eva i got a question for you or anyone else on the legal aspects of this TOS and Firmware modding, because i have heard a lot of discussion people saying M$ cant legally Brick a 360 if its modded ? any insight ?

(08:35:23) (+c4eva) sanchez:inncorrect, error 66

My samsung is running x5.3D and not banned. I've used ONLY stealth patched disks.

C4E says that stealth patched disks is the difference between banned and not banned.

What is the best according to you, keep 5.3D or reflash with ixtreme?

I'd reflash since the firmware is stealthed MS should not detect the change. With the new firmware you should be protected somewhat from dodgy discs which are patched incorrectly.

MS can check the reading speed of the DVD DRive no???
With a little test its very simple i think... if too long in average it's mean you are running a hack firmware in slow speed -->ban!

[baghnah]

i think they can check the reading speed, so i just would use 12x and spend some extra money on VERBATIM media. as for ms25, cant they just checksum the firmware of the drive on those?? im sure they would have to do it during a dashboard or game update if they wanted to. ms28 they cant checksum because of firmguard.

[thebutcher]

Just for some clarification, will any discs burned from non-samsung dumps (wxripper/kreon) yet correct SS, PFI, and DMI pass the stealth check on the new FW?

[baghnah]

yes, but i heard only samsung ss extractions were correct.

I'm a little confused about the whole stealth patched disks.
From what I understand stealth media for the sammy firmware was introduced back in like version 3.
Why would it matter what extraction method you use if the firmware is controlling stealth media?

You said you only used stealth patched disks so what method is that?
I use the Schtrom/Kreon setup and I read contracting posts if this works correctly. Can someone confirm?

[mrjkwik]

according to irc, firmware is now in testing.
