I'm considering posting the method used to obtain this secret, UberDash from M$. huh.gif

Anyone have any interest in that (or otherwise) eh? uhh.gif

I'd like to know this, perhaps by PM would be best, lest it be stopped by m$.

Good idea. Their board spies would prolly PM too though eh...  jester.gif

atomiX is teh winnar!!!11ONE; he correctly interpreted the clues and progressed it via related messages (which he's allowed me to quote the pertinent parts from) eh:
___
i'm guessing from the live servers...maybe downgrading the dash to a pre-live version and doing an update with a dashupdate of that particular version (4920 >august 15) but i don't think this dashupate would be freely available...
uhh.gif

== You're guessing correctly, it's obtained from the live servers (but therefore a small part of the above is impossible) eh... wink.gif
___
can you give me a hint?  i'm kinda liking this little treasure hunt biggrin.gif

== (The "small part" re impossible was a factual hint eh... tongue.gif)
RISK: it's currently unknown whether connecting to XBL to obtain it (or using its xboxdash.xbe) might result in a ban eh!
___
i'm tending to believe you need to log in with a MS dash version that is included with the XDK. i certainly won't try this though.

== Nope, it's obtained in a retail manner (but when M$ demands something outside the box, think twice about it) eh... blink.gif
___
how about the disk cluded with a live starter kit

== If it was for Live 1.0 then that would be a way to overcome the impossible 'small part' of your "i'm guessing from the live servers..." message (the rest of which was correct).  Doing that plus not doing everything M$ says when you're thinking "twice?" outside the box, is how it's obtained (assuming M$ still provide it, which I expect they do currently) eh.

pop.gif
___
is this when setting up an account or actually just when connecting?

== Just when connecting; having or setting up an account isn't required (but don't forget it's not without risk) eh. wink.gif

_______
Footnote: Coincidentally(?) I've been unable to connect to XBL since mid-October (and I don't subscribe to Live) eh...

so lemme get this straight. if you have a live v1.0 starter disk n u use that to update your dash you get the 17cdc100 dash or am i missing something. @ eh. if people do get this dash are you planning on telling anyone how to do the UD-eh yet or no.

Potential usages of 17cdc100 are outlined in this linked post; I'm sure the detailed steps will be posted in the forum, at some point.  Although it's "a nice to have", I personally don't think it justifies folks risking anything, unless they have a worthwhile usage for it (and in time the useful parts of it will no doubt get released) eh.

ok this is my last attempt to understand it. you downgrade to a pre-live dash, use a live 1.0 starter disc to connect to the live servers and upgrade and that gives you the 17cdc100. also how do you know if the starter disc is live 1.0. i have the one that has moto gp demo, mechhassault demo, and tetris full version. thanks

To determine whether a disc's dashupdate.xbe is Live 1.0, you can `xbedump` it and see whether its Version# starts with 10.  However, it's not necessary to "downgrade to a pre-live dash, use a live 1.0 starter disc to connect to the live servers" (but that's one way to ensure you have the required setup to obtain 17cdc100) eh.

Clarifications:

i) `xbedump {XBE filename} -dc` includes the Version#;

ii) the two retail releases of the Live 1.0 dashboard (10027100 and 1012A700) are also referred to as "version 4920";

iii) M$ ubers those 4920's via XBL, to 17CDC100, before updating them to the real Live version (for reason/s unknown) eh...
