has it been confirmed that this lt firmware is completely undetectable? i didnt really research or anything so sorry if this is an irritating question.

No one will know until the next ban wave hits. You should just assume that at some point it will be detected and you will be banned.

If I was flagged before - and I use benq LT to update a game and dashboard (cuz i have silver) - and they ban me:

Can someone tell me the name of the method used to uncripple my 20gb HDD? (Someone told me it was easy)

Thanks.

Also, thanks to C4 and TJ

Just a quick question. I spoofed my hitachi 79 xbox and put in a benq drive. Since it is not the correct drive in te xbox will it not allow me to update it to LT firmware and spoof the benq drive as a hitatchi 79?

You no longer have to spoof the drive, MS changed this couple updates ago. Just use whatever drive you want, you do still have to use the correct drive key.

+1.. there's also never any guarantee that Microsoft doesn't find a new way to detect backup discs between banwaves. IE LT could be top notch now, but they develop a new method after its release. Which they done several times now. Its a good thing they make cheap arcade models (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And that is their (M$) game! They don't want to stop piracy, HELL they are making truckloads more money from people buying new consoles every time they push the magic ban button!!!!!!!

there are lot of people here that make money each time a console is banned. Hell, they make more money than MS makes on a console...lol

some of you guys are giving real bad advice. Just because the dash is not checking the drive string or it doesnt appear doesnt mean it wont in the future. the because it "works" isint needed for the benq anyway there is already a non stealth out. Why use a liteon that isint spoofed as a benq at all.

Keeping yourself from getting banned is always worth while if just to update your box alone. But leaving something like a drive id as another drive string cause it "works" now is just helping the ban hammer mark people off when ms feels like it. Just my two cents worth.

And exactly how would it be confirmed? Quick answer.. it can't be.

Evidently you didn't see that this is a cat & mouse game... firmware becomes stealthier, Microsoft gets smart and identifies modded firmware, firmware becomes stealthier... enlightened now?

You no longer have to spoof the drive, MS changed this couple updates ago. Just use whatever drive you want, you do still have to use the correct drive key.

And perhaps they changed it to make it easier to identify non-spoofed drives.

Drive model changes could easily factor into their modded-firmware-finding heuristics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

You'd have to restore your key vault by dumping the nand and "undeleting" it. I wouldn't say it's easy, but I hate soldering.

IcyChill · « **Reply #39 on:** January 27, 2010, 09:39:00 PM »

So will you still be able to spoof your drive if you wanted to be on the safe side or are you now unable to?

I would like to thank to everybody who is working on this FW and making this possible and free!
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!

hmmm I dont seem to mind the whole cat and mouse game. If LT gets me 6-12 months thats fine hell I pay 300 or more a year for a new iphone $199 isnt that bad once a year for a 360.

pringle1 · « **Reply #44 on:** January 28, 2010, 11:51:00 AM »

remember when the LT firmware for lite-on was "complete"... it took another 2 months before we saw it...

Granted, they brought out with new firmware for all versions of Lite Ons... but I don't think we're seeing the BENQ LT for a couple of weeks.. after the "testing" process is complete.
