if you can't edit the key maybe its because you need a NEW version of jungle flasher? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Foundmy.com is a Canadian site, We Canadians do not follow the same bullshit DMCA laws you do.

We are legally entitled to modify consoles as long as its for backup purposes only.

Doesn't matter - if you are selling such a product/service to people outside your country where the end result is violating the laws in the customers country... extraditions do happen. Over such things people could find themselves in a long slow to boil pot with the stew that makes up some fairly skewed laws that don't directly apply in their own region.

So HyperX are claiming that foundmy cracked the encryption and they have nothing to do with it. I highly doubt foundmy did anything useful, they can't even put together a website properly.

I agree, it's more likely the same thing that happened with PSP unbricking in the past with foundmy - an internal leak in a hacking group lead to software being used in china which was then bought by foundmy for an extortionist price and resold as a service by them for a short while to recoup that price. The thing is Foundmy did contact that team first and shared findings - which also seems to be the case here going by Iriez's comments.

Foundmy (and letsmod) have done some great things for the scene (behind the scenes) in the past and it's quite likely none of us will ever know what most of them are, but I'm fairly certain price gouging isn't one of them. If it's $42, I bet there is a very good reason (even though I wish for double or even treble that, that there was a real solution to unlock the 360 properly - I know I paid more than $42 for my PS2/xbox chips.) I do wonder if they realized even remotely the level of idiocy that would follow offering such a service exclusively - especially considering my earlier comment on extradition.

Once a Foundmy customer and even having met the proprietor in person, I still say they are not scammers but at the same time I would not be a repeat customer - it's like they randomly go on vacation and don't bother to fill orders for big gaps of time without letting anyone know what's up with their money/product/service (resulting in pretty much any of the non-imaginary {ie: read this thread} complaints I've ever heard about them.)

Well see do u have the software ... so reading the key is the advantage he has over everyone just wait and we all will be able to read the key to.

So sell the software? It's like the modchip people not selling the modchips, just forcing you to pay even more money for them to install it themselves.

Can you not see the difference between a PS2 chip and someone sending you an email with a key?

Pay £30 for a PS2 chip, you can't make that chip yourself, it's a physical thing. Pay $42 for someone to read a key that anyone could read with the correct software - it's very different. I would be happier if it didn't cost so much.

I agree completely. The price of a chip goes towards covering parts and assembly - unless foundmy.com are putting serious time and effort into laboriously hand-editing each and every key, the $42 pricetag cannot be justified. Saying "well, he has the software and you don't" just doesn't cut it.

Its like, if you needed a screw to fix your car, and that screw cost $1 to buy, and some guy comes along offers to sell you it for $300 simply because he knows you need it...

^ That's a f*cking rip-off, mate. It's exploitative. The bloke selling that screw is a slimy, greedy, weazel-faced prick! And that's exactly how I feel about the twats at foundmy.com right now.



ps. I don't even own one of these liteon drives. I'm just disgusted by the whole situation.

Yeah I feel the same and I also don't have one of those drives.

not sure whats happening but has anyone tried the new jungleflasher, I get an error with the new 83850 saying the file should be 304 bytes. The file I get is 288 bytes but looks complete with the "dedicated to mackay" or whatever string and such.

i bought new tires today... while i was waiting i kept having thoughts that the friendly america's tire company service tech was going to add a $42 charge simply for calling pirelli to find out the proper tire pressure.

i agree with hetster. passing this kind of fee on to a customer is bunk! what if every service we purchased had to add a licensing fee for that service? this is a rip off!

   - Autoload dummy, auto-load ix, spoof ix

[xboxer360]

you misread just as I did, extract of barcode.bin just means it gets the file for you to send off to foundmy, it still does not decrypt it, read carefully and it says it changes barcode.bin.KEY to dummy.bin. It still doesn't give us a way to convert barcode.bin to barcode.bin.key so you'll still need to pay $42USD at this stage..

[antz1970]

yeah i misread it like that at first too , however it looks like carranzafp and geremia are onto something tho

I bet those guys are on to something

"Expect Good News Soon !!! (not too soon so we can give time to those who have the decrypted fw can release it earlier)."

[xboxer360]

well the decrypted firmware HAS been released so it shouldn't be too long now

[Mhawk134]

If there are software out there that will let us decrypt and encrypt out profiles, why can't something be released to decrypt this? They release the actual firmware that allows for playing back up games, software that just gives the key shouldn't be any more illegal then that.

rofl let the backlash commence.

geremia is there any way to send you a donation of $42 ?
i would MUCH rather donate annonymously to your cause than that idiot rip off merchant terry..
