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?

Its already done mate?
We already have methods to rewrite the flashed stock.
And frankly imo they dont care if we get round it,i think LTplus works to damn well and i think they will be happy to at least get backups detected again which is inevitable in the short term ate least,considering the measures needed for the new image sizes etc.
They know full well what the hackers are capable of,they are merely stirring up the pot imo.

The roll out is supposed to go on over the course of a week. I guess tomorrow we will start to find out if its safe to update or not. Or has it already been confirmed that a new FW will in fact be needed?

[Aldanga]

It's already been confirmed.

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

That just means something happend when his xbox was being flashed/updated.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was a definite or not. I'm sure at this point we can all expect to have to update FW twice a year with spring and fall update. Its a small price to pay that I find well worth it.

You would be a good candidate to read the FAQ.

 
That was actually pretty helpful..... being a longtime member of this site I have no excuse for my insolence and thus will take my 50 lashings now.

It is not just you. There are a lot of people here that should know the basics if only they had read the faq in the first place.

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.

The WP is on the MTL chip from what I hear which means pre-programing (what a pain) Not to mention the HW side  

I'm extremely confident that there will be an easier way (Just not perhaps for a little while - The practices of one group has put others of sharing some of the new stuff, It's the old 'catch $$'/double edged sword... necessary evil an all that')

My guess is there might be a way similar to PMT, to either drop the WP low or somehow isolate (or make it appear low) OR A new MTL (chip transfer from another liteon of same foot-print eg; 9xxx) OR They found the CDB command and figured out the context perhaps? Couple of scenarios and just because they have found one way doesn't mean that it would be universally beneficial to put it out there straight away.... I guess... anywayz just some speculation for ya's (Decided to pick it up and run with it ;-) There's SPI exploits maybe also... Like I said pure speculation......You all know I love too!

 Btw, to all those I thought the mobo would need to extract the key from the drive: Thanx fer the lolz (Don't beat urself up, I've made much sillier assumptions etc.. Sleep Deprivation will do it every time ;-)

Actuall no way you need cut #WP bonding whire ..... is linked internal to gnd that's all

This works the same way and with the 0225 and 0401

say what?are they using a WP 0272 (flashed by 2.0.14599 dash) or a WE 0272 (2.0.13416 dash)?
this would be great news if somebody discovered a write method for the write protected dvd drives.

While you can certainly say that the chips with flash MXIC / Maxtronic successfully amenable to this "unlock". Winbond also resists, try, maybe you'll get.
