WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!
This cant be happening. So we're forced to pay 42 dollars to foundmy.com to get our key right?
Why cant someone else do the thing foundmy.com is doing but for free. That way we will all get our key!
But then again its not that simple.
THIS IS P1$$1NG ME OFF
Someone please reassure me that this not happening.
It is happening. Stop crying.
Why does everyone assume everything is free? Guys, I have invested 1/3 of my life to this scene for free. I've provided all of my services for free. I've established teams and groups that have made this scene possible. All for free.
So one would think me of all people would be upset by someone trying to charge?
Im sorry, but im not. Work is work. Fair is fair. If someone wants to reverse engineer the process and give it away for free (and risk being put in jail for life while your at it) feel free to do so.
You people cry about 40 dollars when a game costs 60. EVERY game. Yet you mod your 360 once and every game is free. Dont try to deny that it is the main purpose of modifying your drive...it is the ONLY reason (Backup yea, mhm.) So the more you cry about this, the bigger a hypocrite you look, and the more immature, childish and frankly....cheap as shit.

Iriez ... sorry about the silly question, but if you already have a dump of the new firmware, can't you isolate the 'encrypting the key before sending it to SATA' part and reverse engineer it? This is probably what Foundmy did, so at least it seems possible. This would then just leave the issue of 'how are we going to release it legally' in the air.
There is no legal way to release it. The crypto involved is very advanced. Some of the best hackers in this industry have been continuously stumped by it. Good luck, but I would be willing to give 1:5 odd's that no one is going to come up with a solution if we dont. Feel free to PM me your wagers.

I remember when softmods were first coming around on the xbox 1 everyone was screaming "modchips", if nothing else as a way to "finance the scene".
It's nice to see a change in things, tho.
It's most economical, yes, but what's wrong with competition in this section of the scene? Why should Team HyperX be more deserving at a point in time where the competition has the jump? I'm not saying that they're not; just saying that foundmy is doing nothing wrong, here. The fact that it's pricey is irrelevant. They did the work to devise a solution for those drives, and therefore are entitled to distribute it by the means they consider necessary to do so. My guess is that the people behind foundmy are probably like "engineer mercenaries".
Either way, nothing's wrong with them offering to do this for people. Unless, of course, you think they need to shut down the firmware flashers forum, as well...
It should be about the same difference as a Samsung with ms25 firmware versus one with ms28. Team HyperX has also announced earlier that they had a way to extract the keys from the new drive, and it'd be released when these drives start popping up off retail shelves.
HyperX has not announced that we will have a way to extract the keys from the drive. I do not know where you got this information from, but its blantantly false. It was stated that a solution was found, but that details needed to be worked out.
As stated earlier in this thread, the encrypted key data was one of the main obstacles holding ixtreme back for this new drive. If we cannot deliver a clean efficient and legal solution to the problem, then we cannot deliver. Since there is a solution, now we can deliver the firmware.
