Team Xecuter: New Dash Update Info and 0225 Unlock Update
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
For many weeks a dedicated team has been hard at work in preparation for the release of the new dash which started to roll out today (2.0.13146).
Although we have been quiet in recent weeks, work has been ferocious with a large group of talented, and very well known scene individuals, busting their asses to make sure that the work of the 360 scene keeps on rolling.
So now that the rollout has started, the team can actually start to implement much of the work into releases for public consumption.
Here are some things of note so you have a clue of what’s coming:
* After the update the drive fw is also updated with a new stock fw, rendering the drive unable to play backups (for now).
* When the drives are flashed back again with LT fw the previous AP2.5 patched titles are no longer booting (expected and will be updated with new XBC and 0800)
* It seems that the first update has only been sent to Liteon DG-16D2S and Liteon DG-16D4S drives (Unconfirmed)
* The key location on phat models is now in a different area, so a new JF will be released to accommodate this change which was already anticipated in advance.
* There has been EXTENSIVE progress with all the new AP2.5 challenges. New 0800 BENQ fw is almost ready.
* There is a new XBC (Xbox Backup Creator) that has been designed alongside the new 0800 ripping fw – you’ll love it :)
* There will be new LT fw’s for all of the new versions that have been released.
* XGD3 progress is being made and there will be an update on this soon.
* We have received unverified reports that after the update to a 9504 slim drive the write protect was enabled like the 0225 drives (Unconfirmed)
* All the slim key read and slim write routines have changed also (again fully anticipated). Easily fixed with new JF
We will also confirm that we have a solution to all unlock all 0225 drives so you can write the firmware. This has been 100% verified and working and we are producing the addons as we speak and will have them available as soon as possible. We will release 2 versions, a kit for pro modders to offer as a service and also a DIY mod type device that users can install themselves. There is a LOT going on so we are working as fast as possible on all projects.
So in the next few days/weeks you can expect new Lt firmwares for 0225 and others, a new Jungle Flasher, a new 0800 fw with new Ap2.5 support, a new Xbox Backup Creator and an addon to unlock 0225 and 0401 Liteon DG-14DS drives (which will also work on 9504 drives too if they become locked out)
If you have any corrections or other input please feel free to post in this forum thread.

New Xbox 360 System Update Starts Rolling Out
>> As leaked a few days ago, Microsoft is rolling out the new dashboard upgrade (2.0.13146.0) starting today. We of course suggest people with a modified DVD FW do NOT update for now until the update has been analysed, but as we know from the beta dashboards this update will probably flash your DVD firmware with a new one (mostly done to support the XGD3 disc format). If you decide to upgrade anyway, we HIGHLY suggest you get your DVD KEY before the update. You can then eventually try to reflash the modified FW after the update is done. But a new modified FW will probably be required (certainly to support those new XGD3 discs).

I am happy to announce that, as a part of a new Xbox 360 System Update, we’re expanding our integration with PayPal to allow U.S. and international Xbox LIVE users to make purchases on their Xbox 360 consoles with their PayPal accounts.* Once you’ve linked your PayPal account to your Xbox LIVE account on Xbox.com, you’ll be off and running to use it as a billing option, allowing you to buy content such as Microsoft Points, Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions and Games on Demand titles.
We are rolling out the Xbox 360 System Update gradually to all Xbox LIVE users starting today and throughout the next couple weeks to ensure a high quality deployment. Just like any other update to our service, you will know you’ve received it when you turn on your Xbox 360 console, connect to Xbox LIVE and receive a notification to download the update. It’s important to note that it may take a few days to make its way around the globe. Thanks for your patience if you don’t get it right away!
This particular update will also bring an auto-standby feature that places your console on standby if it’s idle for more than one hour, helping to reduce power consumption. This feature will be automatically enabled after you download the update. You can change this setting in the System Settings on your console.
Finally, thank you to all who participated in the preview program for this Xbox 360 System Update. Your contributions helped us prepare for the updated Xbox 360 disc format capability that comes with this release.
*PayPal functionality will not be available in the following Xbox LIVE regions: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan

C4eva: More about 0225 Write Solution
>> From C4eve on #FW@EFnet (via c4evaspeaks.com):
[QUOTE]
[k3rn3l] i can tell you all this about the 0225 mod
[k3rn3l] there will be 3 flavors
[k3rn3l] 1. 100% free instructions for the scene to do it yourself
[k3rn3l] 2. A pro modders kit for installers to offer a service
[k3rn3l] 3. an addon that anyone can install
[k3rn3l] its 1 mod per drive tho (before you cheap ass installers try to rape as much cash out of this as you can) ;)
[g***] if you really want, you could buy a 9504 and burn the 0225 fw to it
[jsinger47] hell 9504 drives are like 70 bucks USD
[glaz] I paid mine $30
[Flazze314] I got a 9504 drive got it $45 o:
[c4eva] true 9504 drives are in short supply
[js*******] so what’s your beef with alibab c4?
[js*******] is pretty much everything on there fake?
[c4eva] yes
[Gl*******] and is this firmware/method going to be released at the same time with the 0401 or is it going to be just the 0225 for now?
[Ev*****] glass: apprently it works on both 0225 and 0401
[Gl******] Ev*****: I understand that part, my questioning was is the 0225 LT fw coming at the same time as the 0401 or is 0401 coming later
[c4eva] 0401 is the same hardware, so yes, but will need a new fw – soon!
[oz*******] i have a 0225 with the beta dash will i be able to flash
[c4eva] ozz******:yes, with the mod done
