If your box hasn't been connected to Live and received the ban message, you can definitely move the hard drive back and forth. However, that doesn't mean it hasn't been banned. It just means your Xbox hasn't been crippled since it hasn't seen Live since it was *most likely* banned and was never informed by the Live servers of its banning.

Is that as clear as mud?

Since i cant find a good tutorial i'm trying it here..

I've an old xbox 360 modded about 2 years ago. Now i downloaded cod mf2, and i have no idea how to set it up. Downloaded wave and patched the iso, but that didnt make any difference.

Updating of firmware is no option for me, i dont have the time to do that.

the error message i get is that the xbox needs an update and that the update cant be readen from the disks sinds its dirty or something.

Any advise on this?

greetings.

updating the firmware takes less time than it does to burn one game :lol:

the forums at xbox scene have pretty much everything you need to know, cant link you directly to an up to date mod I have used as my last 360 mod was at least 6 or 8 months ago.

I am certain someone here can help ya in getting a good easy to follow guide and as your 360 is already modded I am fairly certain the modding process is a bit easier than it would be otherwise.

That sounds like the image you downloaded is bad, not the firmware. If it even recognizes the disc you should be able to run it. What image did you download?

cubesten you make me laugh, your after a firmware which doesnt get you banned for playing backups, and then go and patch the games to wave3! You lot really make me wonder sometimes.

I hope you guys who are flashing liteon's with 1.61 are disconnecting the laser ribbon... it can burn ur laser out while flashing now. WTF lol

be careful guys

im not interested in getting banned or not, cause i dont play online... the iso i downloaded from xbox360iso.com looks reliable to me. (via rapidshare)

http://rapidshare.com/files/324024458/RFMWFT.dlc

Pass: www.xbox360iso.com

will try to burn it @ my parents house later, it used to work there for other games..

--edit

looks like my hp laptop with samsung oem dvd drive ts L663L does not support bitsetting.. too much trouble will leave this issue to a rest for now. x

maybe you should join #jungleflasher and look at all the guys complaining because their lasers burned out.
it only seems to be liteon's effected by it and ive done it myself and had to replace it with a benq laser.

before the flash, it read mw2 original, some tinkerbell dvd (video).
after the flash it would not read anything, reverting to stock it would not read anything.
changing the laser from a benq made it work, so im not spreading BS im spreading a precaution that takes less than 2 mins to ensure you don't have the same issue me and alot of others already have had.

FYI I've been in #jungleflasher for months also #fw, it MAY happen on any firmware, not just 1.61. Also its a rare possibility of it burning the laser out. I guess it depends what power units you use to power the drive up also as some kits leak voltage out.

I can see where ur coming from taking precautions though.

ok peeps need some help here im thinking about flashing my xbox360 having read through the jungleflasher guide im still a little confused
heres what i have

xbox360 manufactered10/2008
liteon drive dg16d2s 74850c october 2008 stock firmware
pc motherboard asus m4a785td-v evo

now having read the guide it says extra hardware is required something about connectivity kits and probes and via sata pci card

what are the kits required and do i need this probe and sata card? whatsort of price would i expect to pay for them (uk)

this would never go online(have seperate one for that) so no worries about it being banned it just so we can try before we buy

cheers

You will not need any probes or anything and you do not need a connectivity kit. It's all for ease of use :yes:

Without a connectivity kit you will have to power the console with it's own power brick that's a;;.

As for your motherboard, the only way to tell if it will work is to plug your 360 drive into it and see if Jungleflasher finds the drive. If it does you are good to go. I have an Asus P5Q pro and it works a treat.

The new Jungleflasher is very easy to get a Liteon drive into a flashable state, the old software you had to eject and power down and push the tray back in half way and then power up again and keep repeating until you got it just right, but you no longer have to do this.

Follow the tutorial and you should be fine :-)

thanks for the reply my motherboard does indeed see the drive but when i try to extract the key using the dvdkey32 process i keep getting serial data is bad so im guessing it has something to do with the tray being half thing
having looked at the faq in the jungleflasher tutorial it says it may be the tray not set correct or the probe not done correct
is it just a case of keep trying till i get the tray set correctly or do i need to get the probe kit

thanks again

I'm actually beginning to wonder if there ever was such a thing as lite touch ? Don't see how it was finished 2 months ago and nothing has been banned so far and wet we have no release of it.

Now this is some bad luck...
I recently got banned, got a new x360 (used), and now that I finally had the chance of actually playing with it (my wife played Assasins Creed with it, but she didnt have "the eye" to look for graphic glitches) I noticed the graphics were all wrong...
In NHL10, boards are flickering, shadows are flickering, turning pause on in the middle of match makes a huge black triangle bounce in the screen....

Does this mean E74 / RROD is coming?
If so, is there a way to make it come fast, luckily I did not get the chance to mod the console yet, and it still has a few months RROD warranty on it....

If I do send it to MS to get repaired, do they usually switch the whole console, or just motherboard etc.?
(wondering if they will send it back with the same dvd-drive, as I really dont want it to come back with a Liteon...)

Id say it sounds like a GPU issue. probbly rrod/e74 is coming.. or even maybe sound and no video.
as for the best way to rrod it, put something into the grills in the fan holes and stop the fans from running...run it like that around 30 mins it should rrod. and you havent damaged the seals and stuff.

So do we have a guinea pig here ?

I have both the new Jungle Flasher and also the LT firmware but not sure I want to be the first :giggle:

My Box should be ok as it's not been online for several months and currently has 1.6 on it.

Is anyone using LT yet ?

ANyone got any more info on it ?

I would wait for a few days or a week before trying it out
Some with virgin boxes have been banned not sure if it is user end or fw.

At this point for now they advise you to flash back to orig fw and update and then
flash with IX LT however they are talking about something about calibration shit that
can only be taken from the orig.bin.

Just wondering though if you flash back to orig fw do you need to probe it again to get the key?
What a damn hassle if so might stay offline forever now.

once you flash with lite touch you can't get the key through software again so no dummy.bin or whatever.

Anyone with more info would be appreciated.

if you extract your key using the dummy from ixtreme, reflash to ofw u can then update, use the dummy as source...which then contains calibration and load LT as destination.

Ive bee nrunning a test box online since it was released virtually by doing this... still online so far.
I will update if its banned
