Ok, since this doesnt need the activate disk, will windows see the drive automatically?

[Takashi]

No, that's 0800 mode you're talking about, that's not what this is.

[Datenshiz]

Flashed a LiteOn 7xxx with this, no problem.

[DMageXBE]

Ahh.... ok. Thanx Takashi I was wondering why it wouldnt detect. Ill go back to the old 0800 disk.

[Takashi]

Open to half tray, turn on drive, now it's in 0800 mode.

[DMageXBE]

sweet, thanx again!

Flashed 7series Lite with this and new JF no problems works a treat without the activate disc  

Hopefully never have to update that banned console ever again

[MadXandroz]

well i flashed ixtreme 1.61

which was a total crap

then came to 1.6 ns

one thing though people say they play online with it
others say no

who is true

one more thing if i reverted from this to my stock firmware for liteon 8xxx so i can update the xbox and play some originals

does it leave any trace

just got my box 3 days ago nva logged online and wanna update

The bottom line is simple CFW will NEVER be safe on live so it is pointless to speculate. If you want CFW there is a simple solution that is cheaper than ruining a console with a ban and buying a new one, and then repeating again. Buy 2 consoles, 1 for online with original FW and 1 for offline with CFW that stays offline. If a game is good enough to be played online or if you want the DLC then just play the original disc (BUY IT!!!!!) its that simple. Christ, if the game is that good that it is worth playing online, than the $60 for it, its worth it.

Please, its common sense CFW = BAN its that simple. You might avoid a ban wave or two, but eventually MS will win. This FW is perfect for the solution I have stated, no need to update ever again just don't go on live with it... EVER
ps.
thanks to anybody who has contributed to CFW and to the scene in general.

Actually no, the bottom line is you use this firmware, and if you get banned it is no big deal. Currently arcade 360's cost less than the price of 2 new release games. Either sell your banned console ( which will recoup approx 3 quarters the cost of the console) or don't and use it offline from then on. Everyone who says it is only a matter of time before you get banned is probably right but if during that time you have burned and played 20 games then you are ahead.

Saying CFM=BAN is going too far. Those who have only ever used 1.41 NS are proof of this.

Back on topic, I got a PM asking if I was still online without any problems and I am. I think I flashed the drive with 1.6 NS on Dec 28th so we are at about a week now and no ban. And for everyone who is going to say "you're going to get flagged and cop it in the next ban wave" well so be it. If it is 11 months until the next wave there is a lot I can do between now and then. Even if it happens next week I will just sell it and try again (probably spoof a benq with 1.41 NS).

hey,
quick question,

i currently have ixtreme 1.2 on my 360 drive, if i use jungleflasher, do i need to flash it to original firmware first and then flash to 1.6? or can i go from 1.2 to 1.6?

thanks

DO NOT go online with 1.6. As soon as you update with the lastest DASH, you will get mostlikely an instaban.

you're only safe bet is ixtreme 1.41 non-stealth rev5 for BenQ which is updated to spoof with the latest Liteon drives..

I tried this 1.6 NS and it doesn't boot up most of my recent backups.. it keeps giving me dirty disc errors and all my backups are on Verbatims, burnt at 4x.

put the same backups in a BenQ with 1.41 NS Rev5 in the same console, spoofed as the liteon I had in it originally and they bootup everytime..

I think I'm just going to buy BenQ drives off eBay and use the latest 1.41 NS.. it seems to be the surefire firmware to go on XBL with and not get banned..

if M$ could detect it, they would have banned it by now... and 1.41 NS Rev2 has been out for over a year.

You should be able to use Jungleflasher to update the firmware without going back to stock.  In my experience its much easier to flash a drive 2nd time round.  

Download the tut on the Jungleflasher website, its been updated and is VERY good.  It has a flow chart to follow for every likely situation and drive, flashed or stock...

What brand is the dvd-rom?

[zSpudatoX]

thanks for the info guys

its samsung ms-25 i believe, maybe ms-28 but im 90% sure its ms-25

upon looking at jungle flasher, it looks like you need a 32bit driver, and i have win7 64bit so i think i may try the 360 modification usb drive method instead

thanks again

I'm online with this firmware from 7 days(on liteon 7x) and still not banned. Flashed this on friend's console too(about 6 days ago) with same result(liteon 7x too). So i think that for now m$ don't know how to detect this fw.
