Now here's a question:

I understand that it's not recommended to cross-spoof between 74 and 83 Liteon Drives. However, can you cross FLASH them? What would happen if you flashed this new 83850c firmware to a 74850c drive? Would it brick the drive? I understand that the 2 drives use similar if not the same hardware.

The reason I ask, is because we know it's possible to cross flash Samsung MS25 and MS28, because they're both the same drive. Likewise, we can also crosshflash the 2 known BenQ firmware revisions to the same drive.

I will test this later. I have a space 74850c and I'll see what happens if I flash 83850c to it just for kicks. I mean, I can just recover it in dosflash if it doesn't do anything.

PS Iriez,

Do you know if THX will be releasing an 0800-only firmware for 83850c? I'm talking about the one that is for PC ripping only, making it so you don't need to have the tray half open to enable 0800.

I'm not saying don't let them have some credit - but the majority of the people who want their xbox's modded will never want to open it.  If it were as simple as getting a code to type into your xbox to unlock it, then I'd say the $42 was well spent.. but to have to do all the work yourself, and then spend the money, it puts a damper on things.  Not to mention, if the speed in which the keys are given is not even within hours, then you'll end up having to keep proposed customers' xboxes over night at best, as well as charge them the extra $42 for the service.

That is why there is a reseller option. Those who buy bulk will have the capability to process immediately.

Cross flashing should be possible. Please let us know your results.

I dont know any ETA on 0800 mode, but it should be released eventually.

Thanks for the info, I'll post back in this thread a little later with my results. I have a 2nd 360 I use for testing. I got it back from repair several months ago with a 74 LiteOn drive. I'll flash the 83 firmware to it using my 74's keys and drive info.

First must give props to THX for another great job....

-------------------

Releasing this firmware without a way to get the key is like putting a horny naked chick in front of you and saying DON'T TOUCH.

Everyone's best bet is to avoid foundmy.com like the plague.  They can barely keep up with shipping out items they sell, I don't know how he could keep up with the key requests.

What I recommend everyone doing is boycotting foundmy.com service and wait for a free alternative to come around.  If you really want to throw your money around send THX $5-20 or something but don't give it to Terry or whatever from foundmy.com he can kiss the fattest part of my ass.  He made me lose 3 customers one time because I was waiting on Wii chips to come that NEVER SHIPPED.  I had to file a chargeback to get my money back and that took time and phone calls and such.

So avoid foundmy.com and force him to lower his price or someone to put out a free way of getting the keys from these drives.

I will admit foundmy.com was a reliable site at one time, but they have gone down hill to much to trust them with this service.

They sent me a broken Infectus and didnt even want to replace it, fuck this site it sucks. I suggest no one use it otherwise you could get scammed.

So Iriez what happens when this person pays for bulk keys and the foundmy.com doesn't come through or they only get you a couple of keys then ignore you.  What if foundmy.com gets shut down.  What if foundmy.com sells you a bulk of 100 keys and say you only get 30, and then there's a way released later on that people can do it on their own for free?

I'm just saying this site has so many bad reviews and I had a few problems with them in the past, how can people trust them with their money.  Sure people that pay with credit card can file charge backs but the people who pay with W.U. are SOL.  Also whats to stop me from ordering 100 keys from him and then go file a charge back and get my money back.  He has no proof of shipment and also he isn't gonna be able to explain well what he was selling.

There are very few options in regards to getting information from the 83850c. It would be only in the most dire situation (absolutely no other solutions possible) that we might consider releasing these options.

Understand it from this perspective:

When you have a piece of hardware that has only 1 hole in it, by releasing that solution to the public you are handing the manufacturer a means to fix it. The next release of hardware, that hole is now fixed, and we went from "1" to "0". You understand that then there is NO way to hack it, right?

 

your logic defies every known logic.

 

microsoft just introduce a new piece of hardware ie:new dvdrom and thats the key operation outta the window.

 

they got more money than everyone in your city or town.

 

so them releasing it rather than grabbing as much money as they can before new drive comes out dont make sense bar they just want to make money by manipulating the market.

 

you think microsft dont know whats going on?

 

now explain that then?

 

thanks.

 

cos your explanation there is contradictory to itself.

[Sean87]

When you submit your order to get the key, how long will it take to receive the key?
Will it be almost instantaneous?

Thank You

Because the security of the team and team members is the #1 priority. You want us to paint a huge red X saying "come arrest us" ? The team will NOT run its own server to offer decrypt services, even IF we have successfully decrypted the key data.

Well, let me run this buy you, what if foundmy gets busted? Don't think for a split second that he won't snitch on whoever he can or tell as much as he knows to save his ass. you know the more people that know about something the more likely to get caught. Also,I really don't think its a bad idea to sell the key if you're the only one that can do it. The problems are:
1) foundmy.com is a piece of shit site. Had to many problems over the years with them. And anyone that even remotely folows the scene knows Terry's rep sucks. Not to many people trust him.

2)The price. I don't think people would bitch as much if the price were lower.

 I personally don't mind paying, only if it were handled in a more reliable way and done with someone with a rep. I think 42 is high, but it is what it is.

I will add a few more questions.

This guy has already proven to be unreliable at best. What happens when I send this dump info and get the wrong key back? Will they pay to replace the console that they killed with providing a bad or wrong key? If this scam is allowed to continue it is not out of the question that this issue may pop up at some point?

Also when this guy gets busted (only a matter of time) how can I know that this data wont fall into the wrong hands?

There is far better ways to make money from this than to go this rout. This whole thing is going to end badly for everyone.

Yeah I mentioned that on the other thread, it will probably be left for you to replace  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

as far as i'm concerned there is no key extraction method and if anyone brings one to me i'll just turn them away, I'm not going to direct any funds to any of those sites unless the price comes down at least 4 fold.

$42 IS the worst scenario ever, it just does not need to cost that much.

Thats an interesting question! Especially 'cuz we're talking about a site with reputation like mrmodchips.

Because first, paranoid posts are annoying.
Second, your post comes off vengeful.
Let foundmy create a worse name for themselves!
No one should care!

This is the scenario with the LiteOn....and a scenario in several other 360 related projects I've been involved with. By committing secrets to the public we are slowly but surely choking ourselves to death. It is a cat and mouse game, and the victor is the person who secures the hardware at the end. We help them secure the hardware with every hack released.

So in this instance we have a alternative solution that is viable. Yes, it costs money....but whats more important is this: YOU CAN MOD IT.

The end result is what is important.

So understand the phrase "in the very worst" .........We are NOT "in the very worst" right now. And if you think that paying a vendor for a service is "the very worst" then you, or anyone else who expresses that opinion....is not worthy of even one second of my time or thoughts. You are simply so absolutely pathetic and cheap that it is my feeling that you should be wiped off this planet. The worst case scenario (in this scene) will ALWAYS be "It cannot be done". If anyone thinks different....I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with you in your life.
I want to make this CRYSTAL clear.

Unless I, or a representative of Team HyperX makes a public statement that they are working together with foundmy, I WILL NOT allow this conspiracy theory bullshit to clog these threads. This is for the discussion of ixtreme and the processing of key's through foundmy.....nothing more. Remember my avatar. Your posting ability here is a privilege, not a right.

"So in this instance WE have a alternative solution that is viable. Yes, it costs money....but whats more important is this: YOU CAN MOD IT."

so by that statement you are admitting you are part of the org that are charging for keys???
