I wonder if C4Eva gets a kick out of the commotion that goes on around this time of year.
I'd lol all day if he Tweeted "LT vulnerability! Don't go online! Bans are imminent!" just to see everyone's reaction.
Then again, I am a douche bag. :3

It's interesting to see Microsoft responding to modified firmwares with more tech than lawsuits.
Makes me wonder if future consoles will have any (undetectable) vulnerability at all.

Since I use one GamerTag on two different consoles, should I hold off on updating the dashboard on my unmodded console (A)? I didn't put the new update on my modded, offline console ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif), and I won't. But I was planning on updating the unmodded one (A) that I use on Live. Do you think that would corrupt the GamerTag? And do you think that will prevent me from booting a Fable 3 backup on the modded unupdated console ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)?

Sorry, I hope this wasn't too confusing.

Updating on your online console will not do any (visible) thing to your profile. It is fine to update.
(Code within your profile will mark which dashboards you have used, but it's not illegal to use an old dashboard after updating.)

in that case, I wonder if I update my LIVE profile on my retail 360, will it still be ok to use the same HDD on my modded 360 on a different profile
The retail 360 auto signs-in my LIVE profile
the modded OFFLINE 360 auto signs-in my non-LIVE profile

the fact the consoles never online they can not ban it.

Sure as... well, you know.
This is the simplest cure againts Live ban.
Now, Microsoft can see everything in our console - hackers should really pick up on M$ software, it should really make things easier.

Wow, when do people actually read through a thread? Noobs need to stop posting stupidass questions that have been asked so many times before and all this is doing is cluttering up the thread for people that actually READ through it all the posts. Just read through and I bet you will see answers to your questions. /rant.

So just to be sure: I can play my Fable III fine now (I’ve disconnected the Ethernet cable) and when I’ve played it through just connect back to Xbox Live -> update my Dashboard on still continue to play my current game library (meaning games before Fable III) on Live? Just don’t put any new games on it until LT+?

I've read through this entire thread, and I'm still not clear (most likely because I'm new to JTags and just got mine last week).

Will I be able to play Black Ops or any other new game online with my JTag and Freeboot, or do we have to wait on a new "Freeboot"?  Let's say I have a retail copy of Black Ops...could I go ahead and load that up while connected to LIVE?  If I do, what will happen to my console?

It looks like my concerns are different than those with AP2.5 / Flashed console concerns?

Kind of a two part question....many thanks to anyone with some experience who can clear this up for me.

[LT+ is a DVD firmware update, as opposed to M$ which is a system update.

Hmm ok, and how am i able to put it on my xbox? Just burn it on a dvd and play it in your xbox?

ROFL! (best one for a while - don't take it personally I guess google translate is letting you guys down)

BTW FYI M$ = Micro$oft

Yes, please, as soon as you can connect to Xbox Live with your JTAG'd console.   >_<'

You'll be banned within minutes. Maybe then you can use your free time to actually research what's going on.
...You might want to look up what a JTAG console is too, after you've paid the person to do it for you.

I've learned so much after reading this thread. Good thing I'm not trigger happy when it comes to new updates. My only concern now is updating my gamerscore as I only connect to Live for a few seconds then disconnect immediately just to update my profile. Will it work if I copy my gamertag on a USB device then upload it on a legit console then go on Live? Will there be any "traces" that MS will see?

I will not update my console for the meantime since I don't really play online. Thanks for the insightful and informative posts. Thanks all!

Wow this thread has really gotten out of hand, I guess nobody does their own research or homework anymore. I've seen every basic question and even some new no-brainers. Please post accordingly, don't ask about piracy, and if you don't know who c4e is, what AP 2.5 is, what iX or LT+ means, this is not the thread (or probably site) for you.

@Gran - Yes there are "traces." M$ can see everything you've played and when you played it regardless of when/if you ever connected to live on that box.

Ok so it seems here that these are the facts regarding the booting of Fable 3 on the new Dash


It works on the old samsungs as well as a select few hitachi's


Now, there have been rumors that it will also boot on drives with NON LT non steath ixtreme firmwares.  (lite ons)

Does anyone have any more information?

[bache]

Ok guys, so I've read through this entire thread, and it appears no one can really come to a general consensus.

I have an old Samsung MS28 flashed with Lt 1.0, and I'm on dash 9199.
The most recent backup I have played on my 360 is Halo Reach, which being released like last month or something, would have AP2.5.
I don't intend on playing Fable 3, so I should be fine right?

I just want a few basic answers.

1) Is this update going to flag my console? I'm unsure, as it's been said AP2.5 does not affect Samsung drives.
2) If I want to update, should I flash to stock first, update, then flash back to Lt?
3) Do I have to worry about my GT being corrupted?
4) Do I need to reburn my old backups?
5) Am I going to be banned for playing originals on a flashed console?

As I said, I've read the entire thread, and can't seem to get a straight answer out of it, so some clarification would be great thanks.

2) If I want to update, should I flash to stock first, update, then flash back to Lt? Yes it is safer but Ceva said it is not really necessary
3) Do I have to worry about my GT being corrupted? Not if your backup is good
4) Do I need to reburn my old backups? No as your Samsunc CAN'T do AP2.5
5) Am I going to be banned for playing originals on a flashed console? NO all originals would pass AP2.5 (Providing your drive supports it)

Thankyou so much for the answers Gav!
I'm predicting a nice, steep price hike in Sammies!

I'm about to update right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I've just testedmy X value, and it appears to be clean, so I'll let you guys know again what it is after the update.

I have one final question, I have no idea what I have to do with the SSv3, so if I leave it as is, will I have problems?

Sammy's can't be spoofed into another xbox that did not originally have a sammy, M$ would detect and ban this.
There is no information yet on what will be needed for SSv3 other than a 0800 drive will be needed and possibly a rewrite/update to the app to dump games.
