Team Xecuter about New Dashboard: No New FW Needed, Patches Coming *Update*
Posted by XanTium | January 20 17:17 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From team-xecuter.com:
Quote

After New Dash Update 12625 the following games do not boot (Black Screen):
Black Ops
Modern Warfare 2
Halo Reach

This is an AP2.5 Update so naturally this does not affect non AP2.5 DVD drives (Early Hitachi & Samsung).

If you had LT+ flashed then you will NOT be flagged for a possible ban (good Job c4eva !).

If you did not have LT+ flashed and you tried to boot these games as backups then you are probably flagged for a ban.

AP2.5 Data both PAL and NTSC have been extracted (thanks to c4 and k3) and c4 is now working on the patches and testing will commence.

There will be no need for a firmware update.

We recommend you do not update yet until there is a working method tested and released.

There is no ETA on release so do not ask. if you ask then other members have my permissions to facepalm the offender and ridicule them until they probably start crying.

*Update* Patches have been released via ABGX360 - use the latest version (v1.05)

I wonder if C4Eva knewed this would eventually happend, as he said something about they "Might adding" AP 2.5 checks for older games..
Also, the first games that had AP 2.5 checks where:
Fable III
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood

That was for the first dash, this one stops:
Black Ops
Modern Warfare 2
Halo Reach

I wonder what the next 3 games will be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

i don't think it's a coincidence that it was those three games. because i am sure those three games alone probably make up a large percentage of XBox Live users in general and you can guarantee Microsoft knew this would mess with a lot of people in the hopes that could get them to avoid the moding scene etc.

good thing is, i could pretty much care less about those games wink.gif

p.s. about the only game i care about that's coming out in the not to distant future would be Mortal Kombat (i.e. MK9) which is due April 2011.

but either way, i am golden because i got a Samsung 360 myself which is immune to AP2.5 as we already know.

My lazy ass had benq LT 1.2 and i tryed booting black ops yesterday and it said "the disc is unreadable" so I thought my console is just flagged.

So I went to play Forza 3 today on my Jtag and when I pop the memory card in the profile didn't show up. I go to system settings and it said the profile is corrupt.

O well like I give a shit they can ban my $30 penny fix Xbox 360 LOL.  sleeping.gif  jester.gif

Admitedly I'm still waiting on a patch for the legitimate retail UK release of AS BH I purchased before Christmas so yes it would be nice to have the tools to implement ap 2.5 ourselves. But you still have to appreciate the time, effort and skill these guys put in and have.

Well assuming your Samsung system had a Samsung drive in it as the original drive you should be fine if your using the newest LT v1.0 firmware for it. because AP2.5 cannot effect Samsung users.

He needs LT+ or else he will get flagged.  They don't just put updates out for the hell of it.

hopefully this doesn't mean they can add modified SS checks on-the-fly with system updates. What's to say they didn't change some of the checks or added a few new ones we don't know about to AC:B or Fable 3 in this newest dash? Is c4e able to fully decrypt or monitor these updates somehow or does he work in ASM?

I was on IRC yesterday and k3rn3l said that PAL patches will be few and far between - people from the UK aren't sending out discs so they can get the patches needed. Shame that, I'm waiting for PAL patches too. Would send my Black Ops if i knew where to..

They can't release AP2.5 ripping firmware. This would ruin everything. MS does not know how the AP25 data is read. If the firmware is released they would know.

because as c4e has said before.. the method/hack they are using to dump that data is fixable.. so by keeping it out of the wild its less likely that MS will patch/fix it... if it was released on the net you could bet your ass that it would be fixed within a day if not hours.. then EVERYONE would be screwed

We keep thanking "them" because if it werent for their hard work we wouldnt even be able to complain in the first place because there would be nothing to complain about..... as for "legit backups" ....yeah really? I dont think there IS such a thing as "legit" backups..... I personally have never been easily "encouraged" to do anything I didnt already WANT to do...... thats like saying the people who made Napster ENCOURAGED you to download music you didnt own... I dont think ANYONE is encouraging anyone else to wear an eye-patch and so I also thank all those who have made the scene what it is today and for all their hard work and efforts.

I don't see why everyone needs a new 0800.  If you want to do legit rips, do them using any 0800 and run the rip through abgx360.  I don't see what the problem is...  Quit complaining about what they don't give you and be happy with the billion things they do give you!  What makes it "legit" is the fact you own the game already.

Also

Thanks captain Obvious! We CAN rip games with current 0800 WITHOUT AP25 info and we know that as much as you. Thanks again cap.

BUT

We can't rip AP25 measures from our original discs. Think with your head a little. We have different version of games in shitty Russia (different gamedate, different media id, etc.), SO these discs have DIFFERENT AP25 info, SO these patches for scene-releases will not help us!

No need to re-rip as the hard drive doesn't store checks. That's why you have to have the disc in the drive when you select to play the game (the disc is spun up, and verified genuine, and if it is the game continues into booting).

Just make sure your backup is kosher and you're good to go. No need to re-rip the disc to the HDD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As already stated unfortunately, if the capture method were made public it would be fixable, and then *no one* would be able to rip these games if/unless a new capture method was discovered.

As a possibility you could ask Team if it would be possible for you to send your game to them with return postage and have them rip the AP25 information for you and apply it to ABGX (or at least have it send to you). This would be helping the community and would also allow you to backup your game for a fee (maybe others in your community would be willing to pitch in a few dollars to get the rip done).

how do you think ms can fix it? they can only add a few more checks. but whatever, if we don't have new0800 it does not mean that we can't make copies of our originals (due this patches)

haha i remeber getting flamed for saying that people should be careful of MS adding ap 2.5 checks to older games, nice to finally know i was right, but also i feel like its a bit of a relief that ap 2.5 checks are getting added in FW updates rather than title updates, one thing i think they need to do if actually check the FW to see if they can find a list of ALL games that now running with the ap 2.5 crew,

wouldnt be surprised if MS had stocks in verbatim lol the amount of times everyone has to reburn everything

Why was LT 1.1 given the same version number as LT+ 1.1?

I had LT 1.1 thinking I had LT+ 1.1 given the same version number. Subsequently I have a AP2.5 failed flagged console, and a stuffed drive while trying to reflash. All this would have been avoided if the firmware was versioned correctly sad.gif

Oh well... I never used live anyway. But I do worry about having media play and install to HDD disabled.

that's only true on ALL drives BESIDES Hitachi drives prior to v78/v79 AND Samsung drives.

if you got one of those drives, which i do (Samsung), you can play games like we always have with or without the AP2.5 patches since Microsoft can't enforce AP2.5 stuff on Samsungs (or older Hitachi's) simply because there is no way for the drives to check the AP2.5 data as the drives don't support it.

LT+ is only available for drives supporting AP2.5, so if anyone has LT+ they do need the AP2.5 patches in the backup discs they use. That's why I didn't make that distinction.

The one thing I don't understand: I know that my samsung drive doesn't check AP2.5, but do I need do patch the games or will they work without patching? And if they do work, is it safe for live?

Technically you could have a hitachi 59 or lower than is on lt+1.1 but does not require ap2.5.

Oops, you're right. I thought they'd only been named LT since they were made in conformity with the LT specifications and didn't require AP2.5 protections. That naming scheme would make the most sense, IMHO, but my memory was incorrect. Thanks for correcting me.

I have burned a new Black Ops disc with the AP2.5, but I am still receiving a "Disc Unreadable Error."


Any suggestions?

You have the incorrect firmware. Probably LT 1.1 rather than LT+ 1.1. You've been flagged and will be banned in the next wave.

I don't see why everyone needs a new 0800.  If you want to do legit rips, do them using any 0800 and run the rip through abgx360.  I don't see what the problem is...  Quit complaining about what they don't give you and be happy with the billion things they do give you!  What makes it "legit" is the fact you own the game already.

Also
"How about to release new 0800 that can measure all the info for AP25 as well as SSv2? So anyone can make proper backups."
Read the thread before you post...



Yeah, I initially thought about the justification for not releasing it publically, but I don't think M$ could be in the dark about 'how ap 2.5 SS was being read' , all they have to do is look at a patched image and they have all the info they need. I can't tell ppl here in Australia that they are safe to patch/run backups for those titles at the moment as even if they have a PAL version, the crc's are often different here than UK's.

 I'm sure there is a good reason for it (that I can't seem to figure-out currently) but given the situation and the fact M$ have just vested a fair bit into their latest copy-protection, perhaps Xecuter could at least given certain 'trusted/trustable' regional modding orgs a copy of their ripping SW/FW ;-) so that we might be able to upload the patches. Or perhaps they could develop a better way for us to send them originals (preferably the former) As it would seem that TU's or encoded .Xex's are no longer going to dictate AP 2.5 checks......

Is anybody else's AP25 patched backup copy of black ops locking up after breaking out of the chair at the main menu? I have reburned about 5 times, and all copies do the same thing. The game works fine for zombies, single player campaign, and multiplayer, but it locks up within a few seconds every time I break out of the chair.

Hey Scene,

I am just making sure of something.  I only need to reburn these games with a fresh abgx360 check, not rip a new Iso from my stock disc and then run it through abgx360?  Since the database has been updated with new patches they should overwrite the old ones that are currently on my ripped game file.   Is this a correct understanding?  

Thanks.

i think in the same way.
We need support and obliged to use only uk release only power equivalent to piracy.

Yes, You only need run the .iso (assuming you still have it) thru AGBX and then re-burn.

My guess would be that ur original had either dust or a scratch before you ripped it (although you never know, without knowing ur region it's difficult to tell but usually if it doesn't pass the initial check then it won't boot period), Make sure you verify after burning, as verification will confirm that the problem is with the image on ur hdd (AGBX wont pick-up most basic forms of data corruption) ie; If ImgBurn/XBC verifys after writing then don't bother burning it again (let alone 5 times) Re-Rip and Re-Patch
 I suspect that the new dash is carrying-out checks though at other intervals eg; when you go back to dash but it's unlikely that ur issue has anything to do with AP 2.5


Hope this helps/Dan

Regarding the 0800 firmware that can rip ap2.5 if it's not being released to public for security reasons fair enough but why not then allow a few people from each region that are trusted to have it to do the ripping for each region sending in games is silly and to me holding off sharing is opposite what this scene is suppose to be about.

I am annoyed because I rip my own purchased games and can't use them because there not in the database this defeats the pupose of flashing my drive which again shows this is encouraging piracy.

I have a Benq drive with the newest version of the LT Firmware (the one before LT+) Anyway I updated and I'm flagged(whatever) Just wondering if I update to the LT+ Firmware after being flagged will that fix the problems of not being able to play All the current AP2.5 games or will being flagged F-everything up? Thank you for your time and patience.

Yesterday i read at the Xecuter Forum that Team Xecuter is not interested in releasing patches for non English titles anymore.

Anyhow thats pointless.

Next Update - new Games.

Why not sharing the Extration method to some thrustful guys in every region ?
