I just thought is would be safer to wait since MS could theoretically add software to the next on disc update to check the firmware.  Not that it will happen, I am just theorizing.

Not everyone wants Live.  In my experience there seem to be "pockets" of Live players who play with their mates, but loads more who don't give a toss about it.  These are the ones who will be nagging their parents (or being nagged by their kids) to get the machine done in time for Christmas.  For these, anything's better than nothing.

Looking at the Team Jungle Twitter page, LT's finished.  Obviously it needs testing though, in other words letting it loose on a live environment (or in this case, a Live environment) and seeing if MS ban the consoles.  Obviously a tough call for Team Jungle, because they've got hordes of people clamouring for the firmware, and sitting up behind those they've got MS, binoculars in one hand, ban hammer in the other.  Of course, MS could also be resting their ban hammer because they know it's being put to the test!

I suppose TJ could release soon and note, in big, BIG letters, "CONNECT TO LIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK", but there'd still be arseholes griping when they flash it on release day and three days later get hoofed off.  And of course, TJ would then be called the bastards for not testing enough!

Is anyone who has not gotten banned as of a few days ago gotten banned yet?

i'm pretty sure c4 and friends are smart enough to test "unsafe" firmware at the same time they test lt to make sure the hammer isn't turned off.

I hope so.

But this testing has got to cost money since they are using so many xbox's

$200 per console.

hi all

making my debut here, hopefully i don't bring the noob quotient up too much

here is my story:

in sept bought a rrod 360 pro off ebay and got m$oft to repair for free.

as soon as i got the 360 back i flashed it and tried 1 game for 3 minutes time tops,(brutal legend) to make sure that i did it right. *this was only the 2nd 360 that i had flashed.*

the system has NEVER been online since receiving back from m$oft, and has NOT had another game in it since.

actually come to think of it, i'm not sure that the system has even been powered on since mid-october.

ever since my elite got pinched, i've been regretting flashing that pro.

now with this info, as i read it, i should be able to reflash that system back to "factory fresh" and use it like nothing (other than brutal legend) has happened? and hopefully without fear of a ban?

sorry for the long post, just want to make myself clear. hopefully i was able to achieve that...i am typing this instead of working at the moment. heehee.

method-2. I try to solder the wire on the borad but very hard to stick. Any chemical or method can stick the wire on. Thank you very much!!

yes,of course you should first scratch off the soldering ink

I hope anyone can post better picture for solder or scratch picture. We can see, I scare make the rom damage.
