sorry i have been into a couple other projects lately very heavily (one of them being the copper gpu heatsink myself and a buddy are working on

), but from what i have read, it seems the general consnesus is that bad backups were the cause?
my 360 has been apart for some time but has 5.2c and i did the spring update. last i had it together, before i started getting measurements for the copper hs, mine was not banned. but, i only have a couple games, so only backups of those games were ever made and my way was always a kreon flashed drive, xbc and then imgburn (well i think i used imgburn on the first one and then went to image burn). so only using this setup, does this mean i can put in 1.2 on my ms28 and be good to go or is it still a crapshoot?
thanks in advance, now back to working out more issues w/ machining copper...damn soft metal, haha
