So is it necessary to upgrade to 1.51, i'm currently on IX 1.4 and have had no problems for a while up until HAWX and MLB2k9, i don't really care for those two games much so should i just wait for 1.6 or will 1.4 be fine from now on also?

[cool 1]

I just updated my firmware to the 1.5 for the benQ  the 1 thing that was noticed when i downloaded the 1.5  i extreme was there is no option to slow the read speed down from the 12x.As far as the new jungle flasher goes its as easy as 123.I'm looking forward to the FW 1.6.This is interesting!Thanks C4 team!!!

Why would you not charge to reflash an xbox?  I've told the 30 ro so people that I've helped that if they want their firmware updated it will cost them.  The hell with doing it for free.  If your good at something, don't do it for free....who said that?

Anyway,  100% confirmed you do not need a dummy.bin to reflash a lite-on.  Just select target firmware, erase and flash

Sorry mate, but i hate tight people like you. These guys who make this FW do all that stuff for free, dont even flood asking for donations or nothing, and then you go trying to make money out of something you didn't even make! Do you squeek when you walk?

And my question: How will abgx be with the new 3rd wave, will any alterations need to be made?

[Takashi]

Look on the frontpage of this website, the new abgx was released already.
People who charge for flashing are charging for the time/expertise and
future support. Why is that wrong?

[PappaDon]

Thanks for letting me know the new abgx was out.

I do think it's wrong, because c4eva doesn't charge for his time, and believe me i think he puts in a hell of a lot more time than people who just flash an xbox with 3 clicks on the mouse button do

I'm curious about this too... Will there be an 8x of 1.51 for the BENQ?


Also... not trying to be greedy or anything here, just curious when 1.6 is expected and what will be added...

thanks

if you don't want to pay someone to do, it do it yourself.. i wouldn't go around offering to flash complete strangers xbox's for free.. it's the same with anything.. if you don't know how to change your own spark plugs or oil filter or don't have the tools what do you do.. you go to a mechanic..do they do it for free because they didn't make the oil filter or spark plugs?

you're paying for time and labor there's nothing wrong with that.. now if someone was putting the firmware on a disk and selling it to people that's a different story.

Don't you feel just a little bit ridiculous trying to give a guy a lesson in ethics in a thread about pirating games? You're telling this guy he's wrong for trying to make a few bucks while reading up on the firmware that will allow you to play the latest games without paying the people whose livelihood depends on its sale.

If these people that are paying him just a bit to do this are willing to do it, who cares? If I had it to do over again, I'd pay $20 for someone to do mine. I wasted 4 hours hunting through different guides, looking for the right firmware, downloading different versions of the flashing util and trying to piece together a single set of instructions that actually worked from dozens of threads by people who were busy saying "search fag," asking the same questions over and over and in general showing a complete inability to answer simple questions in coherent sentences.

This Isn't a thread about Pirating Games, nor about what people do, or charge. It isn't about making backups etc.

iXTREME 1.6 < that's it. stay on topic or STFU.

[paul543]

so why isn't there a changelog for the hitachi's? All they talk about with this release is the 3rd wave support and there hasn't been any 1.5 for the Hitachi's...so why do you guys think that it is not just 1.4 + 3rd wave support?

because the people who release these hacked firmwares said so.

STAY ON TOPIC: 1.6 FIRMWARE

[doox00]

does 1.51 fix this issue or we waiting for another release?

thanks

[Rothariger]

i read in some place, that the probe or extra mod, wouldnt be nesesary for flashing this version...

can somebody tell me if its true?


ps: i have my xbox brand new, and i want to flash it, but i dont want to buy the probe...

[xbox_360_nxe]

Question, will Xbox Backup Creator 2.8.0.275 be able to rip games with 3rd wave support ? If this is the wrong thread please redirect me. ?

Here's how to make iXtreme 1.51 8x/5x/2x versions for BenQ. I provided this for iX 1.5 and it is still valid. It's the result of simple hex comparison between old multispeed & new 12x versions of the firmware.

The same principle would follow with other drives, but the Lite-On is encrypted, so you can't simply hex edit it. The only way you'll get multispeed Lite-On is petitioning Team Jungle to treat you like an adult and provide it for those who want it.

Again , this is for BenQ firmware:

Open the firmware in a hex editor. The following three locations control the drive speeds:

0000BFB1
0000BFBD
0000BFC9

In the 12x firmware, those values are as follows (0C = 12 in hexadecimal, 08 and 05 are obvious):

0000BFB1 = 0C (12x)
0000BFBD = 08 (8x)
0000BFC9 = 05 (5x)

The first location controls the max speed. The second and third locations specify fallback speeds. So in the Team Jungle iX1.51 firmware (and the iX1.41 12x firmware), the default is 12x, with fallback speeds of 8x and 5x. Now for the edited firmwares:

8x:

0000BFB1 = 08
0000BFBD = 08
0000BFC9 = 05

5x:

0000BFB1 = 05
0000BFBD = 05
0000BFC9 = 05

2x:

0000BFB1 = 02
0000BFBD = 02
0000BFC9 = 02

These are the identical drive speed settings that c4e included in iX1.41.

I know c4e now says Microsoft could potentially use drive speed for their ban algorithm. Without arguing that possibility, I'll simply say that I don't care, because my drive sounds like a jet engine at 12x, copying all games to disk is not an acceptable solution, and I'd rather risk a ban than live with the drive noise. I've been using 5x for nearly two years with no issues whatsoever, and I just can't bring myself to go back to 12x.

I hope we see these options return in iX1.6.

If you feel the same way, then this is for you. We're all adults here, so it should go without saying...but use at your own risk.
