my hats off to MS. finally getting smart and killing the bugs. this should have been done way way way way long ago. the only way this thing should be moddable should be with a chip... and from a corporate standpoint they should be cleaning that up too. maybe move the LPC points far far away from eachother. lol.

good ol MS.. so many mistakes.

ya, get a modchip. Like people have been saying since July 4th. We all knew that these exploits wouldn't last, but were just told things like.. "you are just mad cause you had to spend money on a modchip." Its not like you weren't warned.

It's not like they can make any permanent changes to the hardware, and since the software is located on the HD you could probably remove the update with a HD-swap or something. Don't panic

Unless you are a LIVE user, and then the update will be forced every time you connect to live. So as of right now, the exploits dont work with the new dash version, and modchips are not affected.

but the price of an xbox is supposed to drop this month anyway - so why not just have 2 boxes and forget the worry?

ya I just got my friends brand new xbox here. Runnin K:5101 D:4920 I'm pretty sure its a V1.3 dont' know if you can even try the 007 hack or not but I did and it don't work.

I've made sure the structure was right and everything but 007 says "unable to load save game." I'm not sure if its the xbox or me not setting up things right since this is my first exploit attempt.

I've read some people having problems with the platinum edition, which I have, but I'm just not sure now. Any info would be helpful. Thanks -crackbaby

Why do you call it the "007/MA audio exploit". Surely they are seperate things, all tho you will have to excuse me as I haven't been here in a while..

Let's try to clear things up as there is three exploits:

The 007 game save exploit + The MA game save exploit
The font hack
The audio exploit

All of these do not work?

Post by: Apharmd Battler on September 11, 2003, 07:14:00 AM

I forgot to add, the no modchip solution I used was the Mech Assault save file with EvoX inside of it (the save game called Run Linux). Like I said, above when I tried to load that save game again, it locked up my XBox. I did all this this morning right before I had to leave for work, but I'm sure it's pretty much a done deal. Like I said, it's not that big deal for me because I'm just going to go out tonight and buy a new XBox. I called one place and they'll give me $90 for trade-in, and I paid $130 for my second used XBox. So I have to eat $40 bucks, which is better than eating the full $130.

But at least others can benefit from my experience......

So if you don't use live.....

Then this changes nothing?

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: Apharmd Battler on September 11, 2003, 07:41:00 AM

That appears to be the case SpikeMage, but now I wonder if I get a new XBox how will I mod it via the exploit? If I go to the dash, it'll try to log onto XBL. So I guess if I'm starting over start with Mech Assault in the DVD drive and and run the Evox app and install the appropriate files. Then hopefully when I place the music CD in when I reboot, I'll automatically go into the Music manager instead of the dashboard and I won't log onto XBL, or else I'm right back to where I started. Should be interesting to see how all this works out. OR I could just get a modchip........we'll see what happens....

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: Apharmd Battler on September 11, 2003, 07:52:00 AM

I'm also wondering, does ths affect XBoxes without XBL accounts. Will it automaticallyl try to update or is an account needed on the XBox for this to happen? I just won't put in my memory card with my XBL account on it, and since the new Box won't have any XBL info on it I should be OK? I hope?

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: cYon on September 11, 2003, 08:00:00 AM

Interesting, I have been unable to use the 007/MA exploits on my 5101 and 4817 they just lock up the system. I have never connected to an xbox live game, so would I be using xbox live v2.0? Is there an easy way to find out what version of xbox live you are running?

I'm sorry. I should have just said the audio exploit. I just referred to it as the MA/007 audio exploit because you need one of those two programs to install the exploit. Even though the audio exploit no longer works, the game save exploits for MA/007 still do. One of the big issues with this is you can no longer save games to your PC because you can't eject the MA/007 disc from the DVD tray.

Post by: Odb718 on September 11, 2003, 11:19:00 AM

Apharmd Battler if your going to buy a new xbox just do a hot swap with the hard drives. Get evox running off of cd on the new one and fix your problems like that. That's what I'd do, besides doing the jumpers and flashing the TSOP.

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: tutu on September 11, 2003, 01:51:00 PM

Apharmd Battler says MA exploit doesn't work, whereas hoosier5x says it does.

Hmm, whether or not to run the update...

Perhaps you have a faulty MA save file?

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: XcdmX on September 11, 2003, 07:57:00 PM

i updated to XBL2.0, the audio exploit didnt work. so i threw in 007, loaded the save game (NFI about MA tho) loaded EvoX. FTP'd in. and replaced the c: with one copied from a XBL1.0 dash. Worked fine

Id say more than likley, corrupt save game file.

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: Apharmd Battler on September 12, 2003, 05:43:00 AM

Corrupt save file? I guess, but it was the same file I've used on all my XBoxes thus far. I mean I had the file on one special memory card and that's what I used to put it on all the XBoxes that I've done so far. But if yu guys say that it works then I guess you're right. But it doesn't make any sense because I used this same file to mod the new XBox I picked up last night on the way home last night and I modded it wth no problems. So something else is going on. The only thing that has changed in the process is the update to XBL 2.0.

Could one of you IM me the file or e-mail me where you obtained your file. I got mine from the MegaXKey site. ( I would like the MA and AUF files if you can steer me in the right direction I'd apreciate it). I guess I could hit up mIRC, but corrupt save file was the last thing I'd expect, but sounds plausible.

Post by: anjilslaire on September 12, 2003, 06:36:00 AM

I installed the action replay software on windows & downloaded the audio exploit packed into a mechassault save from the community downloads within the software.

It's 370 blocks, says "Phoneix Audio Exloit", description: "Load Mech then RunLinux then go down to AudioHack.Then go to Install and press A.Turn off xbox.Put music Cd in and record it to HDD"

Works flawlessly. I had to go through several saves to find a working one. But this is great. It's Morden's hack all packed nicely into a valid save file.

Post by: mjar81 on September 12, 2003, 08:30:00 AM

i actually updated the dash and THEN applied the MA exploit... i've never done it before... but i can't get it to load evox on bootup... keeps giving me error 21 or 13 (i forget which one)

so in order to load evox i have to boot to MA first which sux!

can anyone help me wiht making evox the default boot screen? maybe i need to sign the xbe file? i have a signing program but i tried signing XBMP and it gave me the same error code.

thanks.

Well its not possible to update the BIOS, and most likely the games weren't originally programmed to deal with this kinda crap so, yay!

Does the MechAssault hack work after this update does anyone know?

I'm gonna wait a while but if the MechAssault exploits still work, thats all I need. Paece brothas, I'm gonna go watch South Park 508, Towelie. Hehe, finally fixed the fucking DivX timing issues...

Post by: MrSpumonte on September 13, 2003, 08:55:00 PM

. FTPed back into the xbox and pulled the LIVE 2.0 xboxdash.xbe (which is now 1.92mb as compared to 1.55mb) and xboxdata folder out and replace everything I had running in C: prior with font hack. OK happy to see the security wasnt fixed. All that worrying for nothing

. Clean it back out to update dash the again (through ftp means - not another server DL) and tried to launch the same MA hack....didn't work! Tried to MA Linux one...no go either. Then I tried the MA installer that was in Mad Goukis font hack package and that one worked! One other thing I noticed is that the LIVE 2.0 also updated my xboxes kernel to 5101?!? Is it just me? Anyone else get this? Well I have the new dash running on one Xbox so I can get all the updates for all my games through that one and just ftp into it when I want to share that Downloadable Content with my other hacked xboxes. I also formated F: on the updated xbox, but it shows as 0 when I ftp in and on the Evox Dash? I know the partition is formated b/c I still have 2 games on there. Just my 2 cents.

Title: Live 2.0 Prevents 007/ma Exploit
Post by: RiceCake on September 13, 2003, 09:14:00 PM

No offence, but its not possible to update the kernel. You got a different XBox or your seeing the dash there boy...

So can anyone confirm if the 007/MechAssault hacks work after this update? I would expect they do.

Also, there is a fact that if you update to the new dashboard and online dash, then downgrade the dashboard, the new online dash will function correctly, and so will the exploits.

I went to play Live without knowing the upgrade was in effect, so I didn't get a chance to back-up my C: drive (was using Morden's 007 package). However, I can confirm for those that are still asking, yes, for me at least, the 007 hack still works fine (have MA, but I still play it often, so I haven't tried it's hack at all). No access to the D: drive, but it's no big deal, I really only play emulators with it anyway.

Post by: Apharmd Battler on September 15, 2003, 09:55:00 AM

O.K. I'm confused (it sucks to be a noob). Is the Mech Assault exploit and the audio exploit the same thing? I have the MA savefile called "Run LinuX", when I load this save file in MA I get EvoX on my XBox which then allows me to then swap files (FTP to and from XBox). I then have to boot with an audio CD in the Xbox and do the copy CD trick to open up EvoX after my mod work is complete (i.e. like in Mad Gouki's tutorial). Now my "Run Linux" save will NOT work in upgrade XBL 2.0 dashboard XBoxes but worked fine in the new XBox I picked up. I haven't tried to open the file on my unmodded box which has been upgraded to XBL2.0, I will ty this tonight to confimr that the file I got for my MegaXKey, will not work for 2.0 Xboxes........
