C4eva: More about 0225 Write Solution Posted by XanTium | May 17 20:05 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From C4eve on #FW@EFnet (via http://c4evaspeaks.com/c4eva-2011-05-17-fw/): [k3rn3l] i can tell you all this about the 0225 mod [k3rn3l] there will be 3 flavors [k3rn3l] 1. 100% free instructions for the scene to do it yourself [k3rn3l] 2. A pro modders kit for installers to offer a service [k3rn3l] 3. an addon that anyone can install [k3rn3l] its 1 mod per drive tho (before you cheap ass installers try to rape as much cash out of this as you can) [g***] if you really want, you could buy a 9504 and burn the 0225 fw to it [jsinger47] hell 9504 drives are like 70 bucks USD [glaz] I paid mine $30 [Flazze314] I got a 9504 drive got it $45 o: [c4eva] true 9504 drives are in short supply [js*******] so what’s your beef with alibab c4? [js*******] is pretty much everything on there fake? [c4eva] yes [Gl*******] and is this firmware/method going to be released at the same time with the 0401 or is it going to be just the 0225 for now? [Ev*****] glass: apprently it works on both 0225 and 0401 [Gl******] Ev*****: I understand that part, my questioning was is the 0225 LT fw coming at the same time as the 0401 or is 0401 coming later [c4eva] 0401 is the same hardware, so yes, but will need a new fw – soon! [oz*******] i have a 0225 with the beta dash will i be able to flash [c4eva] ozz******:yes, with the mod done

[pif001]

So whats the difference between options 2 and 3?! I think I might need my loupe and magnifying glasses for this one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

oh boy, will i be seeing lifted pads and missing traces soon?  my wall of shame hasn't grown since pmt.

It might be something like the non solder solution like the one team xecuter sells.

[Revolt_Gameshop]

Sounds not good to me.
So we will need a new tool for 0225? (it said modders kit)
Good news for USBPRO owners.

It will probably be something like the maximus passkey we got raped with for the hitachi 79
this will be another product for c4eva/xecuter to rape anyone wanting to flash there drive
then as soon as another drive comes out they will offer you the write solution with out the modders kit or what ever they rape you with.

Damm, I was really hoping to charge for 2mods per drive ;-) and rape as much cash as I can out of it! (Just like my heros the X-men ;-p )

Just jokes folks!  

I hear there will be more mods released for '0225 Write solution' a little while after....

Either way, can't wait thankyou all my friends for your tireless work, whether your motivation is outright $$$ or the love of  the mod-scene, I still respect and appreciate your contributions (even if I get upset now and again at state of it)

I hope the free mod doesn't involve de-capping lol, I'm sure it won't .....

If the new dash update is able to flash all the drives for the new disk format.

 why cant we make good use of this as in use a Jtag xbox for flashing

To me it makes scense if Microshaft can use the xbox hardware to do the flashing why cant we.

Then every drive would have a software hack  

This is just my opintion i have no idea about programing ect so flame away hehehe

BTW i am no jtag fanboy i dont think i have used my jtag in a year!!!

Why do we need a Jtag to flash a system.Why not just reflash it with the inevitable new JF revision the same way we always have.

"Jtag Fanboy",where they do that at?!

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but it looks like Microsoft are able to do more stuff to the 360 than the hackers...
Do you really think they would release an update without making sure that it's very hard to exploit it?

I absolutely agree.... Ive always been under the impression that MS could and WOULD one day start to flash drives using dash updates.... Im wondering though does the dash read the key from the drive before flashing or does it somehow read the CPU key and serial info and build the new original firmware on the fly? I have a console that was brought to me to fix because it wasnt "reading any discs" the customer neglected to tell me that he tried to flash the drive and botched the job and never saved the key so the console is useless... well it can connect to live and stream movies from netflix and such but will never be able to play any games.... but if the new dash builds FW on the fly then maybe this console will be brought back to life even if the key cant be read after the fw flash by ms at the very least it MIGHT still be a working console.... who knows maybe MS stole some or ALL of jf abilities and then incorporated THAt into the new dash... wouldnt be the first time.... oh well Its worth a try as the console is useless in its present state and didnt cost me anything anyway..... I will report back tomorrow after I update to the new dash.

You would be a good candidate to read the FAQ.

patients my friend... its pretty obvious that a dash flashing exploit is inevitable.... but its probably gonna take a while for the modding community to get it done...

joking aside, my take on what he meant by that is that there isn't a solution to write the chip holding the firmware, and what happens is that we are putting a second chip on the drive that is writable, and forcing the drive to load its firmware from there instead (meaning that you can't install the device, flash the firmware, remove the device and reuse it on another drive)

this is just speculation on my part based on how i read the quote, i could be completely wrong.

from what i've read, both. there are reports that if your dvd drive has the wrong key, the dash won't update your firmware. this in turn means that it needs to have the key from both locations to know if there is a match.

if your xbox can not read the new xgd3 ms will swap it for a 360s with 250 hdd
