The vulnerability is a totally different one. It has NOTHING to do with flashed firmware. The update patches a hole that allows the running of unsigned code throw a hypervisor exploit.
This is why some people have been able to run Linux on their 360s.

I highly, highly doubt this game did ANYTHING at all to your drive.

I would guess his drive is going bad. Ive seen it happen a couple times with my friends 360s. Ive seen it on flashed and stock systems, launch systems and brand new sytems. Crap ass drives i guess?

I would say it's the drive as well. Guitar Hero doesn't ask for any updates, therefore it's not flashing your drive. Try a pot tweak, or maybe the laser is just crapping out. Why not try flashing it back to orig, and see if the originals work. If they are still giving you trouble, it's probably the laser.

Well I guess its a false alarm w/ Guitar Hero being the problem. I have heard from other souces that they have ran there legit copy of GH2 just fine and was able to play backups. So now im at square one w/ all of this

Systems freezing up at boot. Anyone have any ideas?

It may be an overheating problem. Does your friends console stand in a confined space or in a furniture with bad airflow ? Try putting the console on the floor (with no carpet or cloth underneath) without any furniture or things close by and see if it helps. If it doesn't help then I think its the dvd-rom being faulty, try buy a new drive on ebay or similar and replace it (just make sure to transfer the key to the new drive if so).

I tried that and still freezes up right at the boot screen. I even tried booting the system w/ out the dvd drive in it and still get the same result. I too am thinking its a over heating issue, but Im not getting any error codes, red lights or anything so Im not sure what to do.

This is typical Xbox Death.... it has nothing to do with any games, its caused by bad solder joints. Try the 3ROL fixes (applying artic silver, towel trick, etc. etc.), if those dont work your mate needs a new box.

Well i was skeptical of the 2 having something to do with eachother but after updating GH2 with the latest patch i have issues. Everytime i turn on the system with GH2 in the drive i get "unreadable disc". All i have to do is just try "play game" and it works fine on the 2nd try. Hopefully it doesnt get worse?
