As far as I know, you can update to the new dash just fine... the Hitachi drives DON'T get reflashed by Microsoft. You lucky bastard Razz

I am finding it very difficult to get information on the Samsung drives (circa 4-5 years old). No one seems to know if they get flashed by MS. Also, I've seen no word that any new LT+ fw is being developed for these models!

You're going to have to flash at some point anyhow, especially for when LT-Max comes out, so I say it's worth the try. I'm pretty sure though. It's hard to get confirmation because you have some people stating they updated to latest dash and it didn't reflash their drive.... and then you have others saying that you're supposed to reflash manually anyhow.

WTF! So I am going to have to find the original firmware backup I made 5 years ago?

That could be... difficult!!

Success!

Updating didn't effect the firmware Smile

I knew it =) Congrats mate... and yes, most of us here envy you The Hitachi drives seem to be fantastic for pirates; they're immune to AP25 detection (simply because they CAN'T read AP25 sectors, so MS skips the checks on Hitachi drives) and they don't get flashed with the new updated dashboards.

I'm pleased I have a hitachi because I flashed it to 1.51 a long time ago and haven't had to touch it since. Unfortunately I'll still have to flash it when LT-Max comes out to play XDG3 games though Sad

Good Times ahead

Second XGD3 Official Rip now Available.

Rise_of_Nightmares_READNFO_XGD3_0800_USA_RF-XBOX360-RRoD

I really enjoyed reading this next part

Quote:

The LT+ v2.0 release for Phat models is imminent, and it was
requested that we release these in advance in order to give everyone
time to have them downloaded and ready to play for once the fw goes
public.

Sweet! But what about updating to the newest dash? Will LT Max trick the console in allowing me to do this without reverting to the stock firmware?

Finally, can I extract the key from my existing modified firmware on the drive?

Cheers in advance!

Yup. I fear we might have to start using those drive emulators sometime soon. Btw these xgd3 backups are not live safe and most likely will never be due to the physical disc size Sad

seems obvious that m$ will (soon) ensure that the final 1.7% is used for critical data, or at least checks.

we will probably be ok for this years big releases though so i guess we just roll with it and see what happens next.
