I was playing COD 2 two nights ago on Live (on the 360), and there was one player flying around. It was like he was in spectator mode but we could see him. He was taking everyone out. Bullets went right through him. He ended up with about 1/3 of his team's kills and it didn't bother me too much. I just went after the rest of his team. One guy called him a f***in hacker at the end in the score page, and he just chuckled.
Anyway, does anyone have any legit ideas or theories if this is a product of a firmware hack? Just ignorant and curious.

Im pretty so the person was using the spectator glitch,there is a way to do it.I think it involves two people on the same team to get it working,but it has nothing to do with the firmware hack.

LOL you are probably the retard.... the firmware are diffrerent it's not the same approcch!

I said its not THAT different sir.

I never said they wer the same.

But if the 360 happens as the Xbox1 has, the Xbox1 drives arent THAT different that you need a seperate distinct plan of attack for every drive out.

Everyone stating that MS will force and update should remember xbox1. We all have copy protection on our chips. This would also be easy to do to the DVD via a simple hardware mod. I could be as simple as cutting a trace on the DVD's PWB, or a little smarter by installing a switch.

Software can only do what hardware allows.

Yes, that's true, but we have to figure out a way to circumvent their software mods.

And, if the hype is true, they have unprecendented amounts of control over the boards.

Explain how they will on-the-fly patch games coming from factories.

With live yes, from the factory, no but it will be a wave of games with one fix later, then a second wave with a new patch needed, and so on.

If we learned anything from the past its that.

I forsee an update to dvd2xbox, that'll do it all and simply drop a DVD9 or DVD5 ISO on the XBOX1 HDD complete with SS injected

. (I've heard that efforts are afoot to patch the FW to seek for the SS within the DVD5 region when DVD5s are present ) Maybe the XBOX1s will simply become backup devices for X360 games.

Nah, if anything, the code for this f/w hack will just be improved.

If I've understood the posts correctly, the current process goes like this:

Open XBOX1 case
Plug XBOX1 DVD-Rom drive into nearby PC
Flash the XBOX1 drive
Run at least 2 PC DVD ripping apps to grab data sectors (ties up PC for around 8hours)
Run a further app to issue the DVD-Rom drive debug sequence in order to obtain the Security Sector.
Run HexEdit for SS injection into the ISO
Burn to DVD
Disconnect XBOX1 DVD-Rom drive from PC and reconnect in XBOX
Close up XBOX1 case (should you wish to restore this to operation use for legacy game play)

Given that the XBOX1 drive is already in the XBOX1, and XBOX1 can run homebrew utilities, I'd prefer:

Pop game title into XBOX1 pre-flashed XBOX1
Run an updated dvd2xbox on XBOX1
FTP generated ISO to PC (mine isn't nearby , it's WiFi distance away )
Burn ISO with Nero.

But I agree with you, no doubt further refinement will simplify this in any event.

the 2nd app you need to run for a split second... and it only takes about an hour and a half to rip with isobuster on my NEC 3520A

loaded isobuster, set retrys to 1 on both options, started ripping, when it hit 7% it asked what to do with the bad sectors found, picked make dummy data, and told it to never ask again, got stuck on 7% for a few mins, then kept going, got stuck a few times from bad sectors.. took about 3 hours to rip..

Based my previous comment of your older post (which I now have to admit says "3 hours" and not 8 - I misread it - soz.

)

You people have such a ignorantly broad sense of what "help" is.

Sure, modding a 360 could cause 360 sales to rise a bit (another case of "help" that doesn't "help" because thye take a loss).

But this isn't much help, when it costs, what $50/yr for subscription to XBL? If you don't buy the games it's not helping XBL that much. Essentially, you're just not fully exploiting XBL with your backups if you have to pay to play your backups and at least covering your bandwidth costs. But I doubt M$ even makes a profit because of this, depending on how much bandwidth you use, it could be a loss still since you're not paying for the games.

Just buy the freaking XBL games at least.

Well crap, tried this for Madden 06 and its a no go - won't copy with isobuster - gives me the bad sector error all the way through
