Lol. Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft is going to sell millions of unflashable consoles...

[drunken_marlboroman]

My guess would be c4eva is a well known and respected person in the scene who has released under a different name anonymously in fear of repercussions... Though who knows.

Thanks whoever you are! :-D

dangal has it,

Question:
What does Jungleflasher run on?

Answer:
Windows!

M$ must have planned this for years to keep there operating systems going!



This topic is getting silly now.

Obviously, this guy c4eva is doing a great job in the firmware. Seems to not be appreciated that much

I'd like to say as well, maybe those who flash dozens and dozens of xboxes to make a quick buck will think twice when the new firmware is released. Hopefully it will stay community focused and more controlled. If you want to flash your own console, there's enough articles and resources out there, and if you can't do it, then you're probably one of the ones bitching about the banhammer.

Nothing against doing one or two close mates a favour by modding their boxes, but when you start making it mainstream to anyone who will give you £20 then it (the f/w) has to have public releases etc. and is easier for M$ to get their hands on and run tests against.

Not having a go at anyone but food for thought. If you can't use irc or xbins, or are scared about modding your console, then you shouldn't be dabbling in my opinion.

/me dabbles in your opinion, lolz

Some of these posts have made me laugh.
Regardless of who C4 is he is someone who's brought us a way to mod our consoles in a very simple and easy way these days.

I can't believe some people are accussing him of working for MS. Hah.
I also can't believe the conspiracy theories behind everything, that C4's firmware has meant everyone has been banned etc.

I've not been banned, I've been running C4's fw since it was 1.1; and I'm running 1.61 on my Benq now and I have a newer unflashable lite-on elite waiting, that will have custom fw on too once a method is available to do this.

I thank C4 for everything he has done and continues to do for us all. People are blaming him but they know the risks when they mod their consoles. I check all my games with agbx before I burn, I don't play games before retail release and I don't install system updates until I know their safe to do.

Maybe some of these people accusing C4 should try doing this, I bet half of them where online playing MW2 last week bragging to their friends about it!

Once again, thanks a million to C4eva. We should support the guy because without him we would have no custom fw. Or a poor quality one at that and him the potentional of homebrew would never be a possiblity.

Why doesnt MS go and better their operating systems instead of banning? They still make a bunch of money with people that arent even interested in modding...

MS= ALWAYS HACKABLE SOMEHOW

I do the same thing, but I got banned.  I thought the same as you at first.  This is one of those ban waves where idiots are getting banned because they deserve it for playing non-retail games or playing bad rips or playing games early.

But this is different.  I am sure lots of people got banned for being idiots, but this time people are getting banned with nothing but verified games and no early playing.

People are even getting banned that have modded their drives, but never played burnt games.  Before you say that is stupid why would they do that; they were testing to see if it was the firmware.  I have several reliable people who have gotten banned for just having their drives modded without playing a burnt game.


With all that said this isn't c4eva's fault.  If you mod your console you are running the risk of getting banned. PERIOD.  He does awesome work and all this talk of it being his fault is just FUCKING stupid.  If you got banned it is your fault.  Know the risks and don't complain.


There isn't anything wrong with talking about it though.  Nothing wrong with asking questions or throwing out theories as long as they aren't ignorant.


The geniuses that work on these things will have this figured out in no time and everyone should just chill until then.  Don't be surprised if you get banned though.

No matter what Microsoft do they'll always be people who will try / want to find ways around it. This is always the case and probably will be the case forever.

No matter how much money they pump in to it they'll be someone who finds a way around it so it's easier to ban someone and make them go spend more money on another console. Even though their banning people the majority will go out and buy another console to play online with, so really it's a win / win for them regardless.

Agreed!!

If you flash your firmware, expect to be banned, and dont go back moaning to the original hacker about it - its YOUR fault.

If u got nothing constructive to say, then say nothing!! Just leave c4eva to do his work, and let others appreciate it,...

If you dont want to be banned in future, dont mod your console, simple answer, your the one's who agreed to MS Terms and Conditions!!

Ive not got a modded console myself, but even i can see the work this guy puts in is priceless, not only that, this is the one place to have all your XBOX queries answered and provides excellent information, so if you dont like it, and the work people do on here, maybe the MODS should start doing some banning of their own!!

oh shucks you got me !! LOL

[Arijohn]

Ixtreme 1.5 was perfect you fools are scared to modify your disk, either cause you dont know how or You believe in abgx. Thats why its so funny to me that ur all banned and the guy who's been patching his games using mullter since wave three is still online.

By the way, ive noticed that my 360 background downloading lite flashes after i turn off my 360 its never done that before, so i started unpluging the ethernet after i turn it off.

Me and everyone that i make games for are still online.

.... So far at least.

Yeah I've just seen about people being banned for just having their drives modded. I guess this is something more than just people being stupid.

Although, I 100% agree with your post, you know the risks. You just have to accept it, not being able to play online isn't the end of the world either.
