Brilliant work on the new firmware c4eva, and everyone seams to be happy with the low speeds aswell. Has anyone tried out the 12x speed cause either I'm tripping or could be right, it seams not to boot at the incredible ultra fast speed with the sound of a turbine engine anymore, or it could be the game I test it on.

Problem... not using iPrep - I can't get the new definitions because my ISP now bans EFNET   .

So I used the same old method, just running the included batch file against my orig.bin and used my old usb key method to flash it.  No go, I also got the 'put in an xbox 360 disc... blah blah...'... went back to my 1.2 rev C and its back to normal.  Tried it again, no go.

Do I need to use iPrep... I know another post mentioned they didn't use it and still worked ok..

Someone mentioned using firmware toolbox to confirm the keys.  Everytime I check the new ix13.bin file, it only shows F's.  When I check my 1.2 rev C (or older ones), it is normal....   arrghhh...

Also, although I doubt it, if my orig.bin has been corrupted, can I use my 1.2 rev C (I know this has been asked before..).. darn.. I can't imagine that is the case though... I think I'd know if it were somehow corrupted and I have multple copies for safekeeping...

I know that 1.2 rev C is a good version to keep using if necessary, but I'm a fan of using the latest and greatest.

Any advice?

Anything is appreciated...  

TIA...

you cannot flash a samsung with toolbox, since you need to flash it in DOS (READ some tutorials)

That's not what he asked.

I wouldn't recommend just injecting the key into the ixtreme file as there's more information pertaining your Xbox within the firmware.

EDIT: strike that - I've just compared two MS25 firmwares from different drives and aside from the key, there are no differences whatsoever. I'm sure someone will have another take on this, but from what I've just checked that's all that's different.


Just use the cmd batch tool included. If you want to change the key/spoof the drive after creating your new ix13.bin file, then yes - FWTB is a good tool to use.

In short, it's not copying the key over.

Open your original firmware in FWTB and you should see your proper key (as you've already stated). Personally at this stage, I would enter your box's serial number and a name underneath and click on "save of database". As long as you don't delete the FWTB data, your key will be nice and safe in here.

Now, highlight your key and copy to clipboard (either right-click copy or CTRL-C). Now, open your ix13.bin file and highlight your line of F's. Right-Click paste, or CTRL-V. Now click on 'Replace Key' To clarify, make sure your name/serial number appears as you entered it below the key string. There's no need to save anything, you've just injected your key into the firmware. write the resulting file to your drive and you're done.

to be honest i think this whole ixtreme is bullshit its only advantage over older xtreme is that fact it wont boot unless there are the required sections such as dmi or pfi, i still use 5.3 since it was released and i have not been banned, i survived the halo beta banning and i stick by my theory that if an xbox is modded before it hits live it wont be banned.

the reason that people were banned around the halo beta was that the crackdown that was going around didnt have a pfi or dmi present cant remember which

you're being shortsighted...you've failed to realize that shitachi's didn't have stealth media back then...please think before you post.

Having some problems here.

Original ms25 flashed a while back  to iXtreme 1.2.


Now  I'm trying to upgrade to 1.3, I used the 0800 disc and was able to read the firmware.
I rebooted. Used the 0800 disc. Went to run iFlash, its stuck at 55%.

I already updated (and spoofed) another ms25 with iXtreme 1.2 on it. Now it has 1.3 spoofed as a Hitachi 46.
But for some reason, I'm getting this stuck at 55%.

I have yet to turn off my pc in like 10 minutes (typing from laptop).


VIA 6421L or A, I forget. Using a Xeno360 connector for power. latest iPrep with latest reference files. It worked not but an hour ago when I needed to flash/spoof another ms25.

Thank in advanced.

Martinchris,

Manually copying the key worked perfectly.

Not sure why the included batch file was not copying the key over... but I appreciate it.

Didn't consider myself to be a newbie, but I guess I should have figured that out on my own...  thus, thanks again for responding!

Caster420 nicely posted a readme file for firmtool.exe, which explained that it may not work as intended if it's too 'deep' in the directory structure. Just for your sanity's sake, why not copy the folder to the root of your drive and try it again? You can just open the resulting file in FWTB and see if your key is there - at least you'll know either way without having to flash etc and therefore not have this issue in future!

[MY99]

Can someone post the iprep definition's md5 code for the new ixdef. thanks

Excellent work once again C4E

You can flash directly to 1.3. Just be sure to enable 0800.

after i flashed my profile will not stay signed in. dashboard will sign me but not connect to live. then i sign in to live, try to do anything(check msg, view anything related to profile) and freezes up.

turn off start over. manually try to sign in.. signed in and out at the same time. back to sign in.

WTF
