Team Xecuter: New Fake AP25 Patches – Still Unsafe For Xbox Live
>> From team-xecuter.com: [QUOTE] We have already commented on the fake AP25 patches but recently there has been some false claims by the makers that needs to be addressed.
They incorrectly claim that their patches are safer than C4EVA’s. C4′s patches are made with responses from an original disc which will always be safer than the fakes.
There have been several types of fake patches in a continued failed attempt to produce “safe” or “full stealth” patches as they put it. The fake patches are made from data in the dae.bin file and ISOs of an unverified origin.
1) The first version of these fake patches used hardcoded angles with blank response data. Result: Unsafe for Live.
2) The second version continued to use hardcoded angles with added response data from ISOs of unknown origin. Result: Still unsafe for Live.
3) The third version has an option to apply random jitter to the hardcoded angles using some software. Result: Still unsafe for Live.
Each supposed “improvement” is fruitless because they are not obtaining responses from an original disc. Any future releases will never be safe as long as they are based on data sources other than the original disc.
A correct response can only be obtained with an original disc which is how C4EVA has always done it. A public method is in development which will allow you to extract the correct responses from original discs with a new 0800 FW.
These fake releases are made for you without any regard whatsoever for the safety of your consoles and XBL account. Every official fw of patch ever released is done so after extensive testing to be as sure as possible that they would function fully using the XBL network.
Do not ever trust an unofficial fw or an unofficial patch. These people do not use or understand the methods implemented by C4E and any counter claim they make now and in the future should not be believed in any way shape or form. remember – they DO NOT CARE about the safety of your console and XBL account – they only care to have their name in lights with some software release that is both dangerous and irresponsible to the Xbox firmware community.

360Lizard: Standalone Mode Preview Part 2 and new Basic Kit
>> From 360lizard.com: [QUOTE] We have recently posted the 2nd preview video of Standalone Mode. The Standalone Mode will be undergoing rigorous testing throughout the week and we anticipate releasing to the public by end of next week (if no major issues arise).
As many users are aware the UPDATE server has down the last days; we have fixed the problem and have restored the full functionality.
On another note we have posted Links in the download section for the FTDI USB drivers because some of the links in the manual’s where no longer valid, if you have problems getting the drivers please go to our download page by clicking the link above.
Lastly, there has been some claim’s about Lizard has been "way overpriced", the competitor’s are trying to compare against other tool around that "claim" to be cheaper, but when you do the math you end paying more by individually purchasing all the parts that are already included with a FULL Lizard kit. In order to have clear view on the price of both items on the market we are now offering a BASIC KIT; which consists on the Lizard unit, a USB cable and a SATA cable for a bargain price of $69.99 USD. The rest of the items can be purchased separately if desired BUT we are still offering the full 360 Lizard Kit (which includes the Scorpion Tool and the DVD Drive power adapter) for $99.99 USD.
** Note: The above prices are MSRP and may vary from reseller to reseller. Please contact your nearest reseller to see if they have basic kit available using the reseller link above. [/QUOTE]

It is capable of many things such as - Emulating the Xbox 360 DVD drive - Reading USB hard drives and other USB media with various file systems - Updating itself and other hardware from USB media - Communicating with the remote and other external USB devices - And a lot more!

DashGrab v0.1 *Update v0.3*
>> From compl3x.wordpress.com: [QUOTE] Before you start the inevitable flaming, yes, I know there IS other dashboard downloaders, the issue I have is, the majority of them are outdated.
This isn’t bad programming, its normally because the creator has ever left the Xbox scene or has simply forgot about the application. DashGrab aims to circumvent this issue by providing an easy to update configuration file to add additional support when the time comes.
It is also open source; though credit to the author (myself) and any dashboard uploaders should be given.
*Update v0.2* So, Aldanga released a modified version of DashGrab enabling more then 1 dashboard to be downloaded per session. The weird thing is, If you decompile the code and look, I even added everything for this, I just forgot the if statement, I apologize. Also, goto statements in .NET are manly. Not recommended.
*Update v0.3* This fixes a bug in the way I assigned file endings, my method wasn’t effective and could be problematic, this is fixed in version 0.3. Recommended download. [/QUOTE]
