>> From 360nandflasher.com: [QUOTE] Today we have received stock of the New Quick Solder Boards for the Maximus NAND Flasher. One kit includes a Phat Kit and a Slim Kit.
The Slim Kit allows for easy install of any Manufactures Glitcher using the simple Solder pads; meaning you only need to wires to the bottom of the main board and a few very short wires to the Quick solder Board.
Stock has been shipped to most resellers and should be available very soon.

xk3y Firmware v1.05 in Beta Testing
>> From xk3y.com: [QUOTE] Just a quick sneak peek what we have in store this time.
Thumbnails are now added to the IsoMenu feature.
To Use: Add a JPG to the directory where the game ISO resides, give it the same name as the ISO but with a jpg file extension. That JPG is shown in the XBox's Picture Library browser when the game is selected. A small white square is shown if there is no JPG
More info on 1.05 soon to come! And yes, more stock is on the way... [/QUOTE]

XexTool v6.3 and X360GameHack v6.3
>> Xorloser released a new version of XexTool. This is a tool to extract information on an xex file. It will print out xex information to the console, alter xex attributes, extract executable code and other basefiles and create idc scripts files to help with disassembling the extracted executable code. Note: Any altered or created retail xex files will not be correctly signed.
What's new/fixed: * fixed an issue where some xex files would not boot such as kinect xex files. * changed the special patching to list and let you select which patches to apply. patches are done via bitflags so that multiple patches can be selected in one go. * changed the internal search and patch data for special patching of xam and xbdm to support all known versions of these files.
X360GameHack v6.3 has also been released - it's an easy-to-use GUI for XexTool v6.3.

xk3y Firmware v1.04 beta: isoMenu, fixes, and more! *Update*
>> From xk3y.com: [QUOTE] The 1.04 firmware beta is now being tested, and will soon be publicly available. It adds one major feature and a number of fixes: - isoMenu system - Fixed Hitachi 78/79 & XGD3 - Fixed Samsung & XGD3 (thanks to morph0 and others) - Increased AP25 failure grace period - Implemented MenuIso menu system - Changed behavior when an ISO is selected and tray is closed. ISO is now queued until tray opens - Added Mount point count to main menu - Added xkey.cfg file
On popular demand we have added the IsoMenu feature. It implements a Mixed Media style menu system. Xk3y generates a virtual ISO in memory that represents the USB Mass Storage devices attached to your Xk3y. You can then navigate the menu and launch games with the Xbox joypad.
*UPDATE* Revised .cfg file Small error with .cfg file, it was missing a few important lines. Revised .cfg file in the download section for anyone that downloaded the full release already. Or add the lines manually to your current .cfg file using a text editor. ############################## # XKEY CFG ############################## MENUISO=Y ############################## [/QUOTE]

C4E's iXtreme Burner Max in association with Team Jungle and Team Xecuter
>> From team-xecuter.com: [QUOTE] As you may or may not be aware, the new XGD3 format has a larger capacity than a standard DVD+R DL disc so it has become virtually impossible to make a 100% backup of the disc.
They said it was impossible. They said that CFW was finished. They were wrong.
C4E presents yet another world first to the Xbox scene, the iXtreme DVD Burner FW which now increases the capacity of a standard dual layer DVD+R DL to a FULL 8.7GB !
Features: * 100% Customized burner firmware – never been done before ! * Full 8.7GB 100% Backups on standard Dual Layer DVD+R DL * Flashable via Jungle Flasher (Upcoming Version) * No IMGBurn Errors * No CIV errors * Passes all current checks
Requirements: * Verbatim Dual Layer DVD+R DL Compatible only at this time * ********** SATA DVD Burner
Note: The model of the DVD Burner will be announced shortly. There are several different versions of this model and we want to make sure that each one can be patched before we tell you to go out and buy.
We are so far supporting 4 different versions of this drive, we want to make sure we can cover as many as possible.
There are LOTS of this particular drive available and the RRP is less than $25 USD. On the bright side At least everyone will be forced to upgrade to a decent burner now ;)
Testing is fully underway. The current LT+ 2.0 requires no update (except Samung which will require a small change). As an example we bought the troublesome Forza4 (doesn’t work with previous burning method – failed various checks), ripped to a backup using 0800 v3 and burned using the new iXtreme Burner Max and have been playing with it on XBL for several hours with the same LT+ 2.0 that was released last week.

Xbox LIVE Public Preview Program
>> From majornelson.com: [QUOTE] At E3 we announced the new Xbox LIVE dashboard which will deliver intuitive navigation, increased responsiveness and improved engagement with Xbox experiences – all beginning this holiday. Now that our work on the dashboard is almost complete, we are announcing an open call for all Xbox LIVE members to register to participate in a preview program to help us test the system. This is an important program as we continually strive to ensure the reliability of a service that reaches tens of millions globally. We could not do so without the ongoing help of our great community.
Once this program is kicked off, an update will be pushed to your console that will contain select dashboard features, including:
• New design for integrated Kinect and controller navigation • New Beacons to play online with friends • Deeper Facebook integration • New Cloud Storage for Game Saves and Xbox LIVE Profile
Other features and entertainment partner apps may come into view during the program period.
Note: A console in the program is expected to remain fully compatible with standard retail consoles not in the program. (e.g. party chat will function)
For those familiar with previous registrations for our program, we have a new model for registering your consoles this year. The new model is a more automated process that should make it easier for you. We will not ask you to type in your console information upon initial registration; once you are approved to participate in the program, look for details on our portal about how to register your console.
Click here for the initial register for the Public Preview.

New Xbox 360 DVD Drive Found: Lite-On 1175 DG-16D5S
>> From c4evaspeaks.com: [QUOTE] We’ve known this drive was in the pipeline since back in early June, and now the Lite-On 1175 DG-16D5S has finally begun to make its appearance in retail units. Check out photos of the new drive here.
The status table has been updated to include this new drive. As usual, please contact an op in the #c4e channel on EFnet IRC if you have one of these drives and are willing to send it to the team or if you can provide a full fw dump (whether current unlocking methods still work for this drive, has yet to be determined).
Thank you to “R” for providing initial insight about this drive several months ago, and to Fresh101 for his photos confirming the drive’s presence in retail units. [/QUOTE]

360Lizard: LTPlus 2.0b Filesets Available
>> From 360lizard.com: [QUOTE] Yesterday c4e released the new LTPlus 2.0 for Slim Liteon, again all credit and good work is from c4e !
Among other stuff this new LTPlus 2.0 features support for XGD3 backups (require special burning method).
We have released Lizard Toolbox fileset containing the LTplus 2.0 firmware for sammy, benq and phat Liteon and also new SD file pack for Standalone mode. We have relabeled this release as CFW template LT 2.0b (note the "b" at end), this is to diferentiate from last week release, this new "b" has all previous LT 2.0 for phat drives and for the Slims.
Both the CFW Template and the SDFile pack can be downloaded from our Fileset Blog.
Also just to note there is no need to update gecko firmware (just ensure you use the latest 1.23) and also the Lizard Toolbox application remains same (1.0.36).
On this next week we will update Lizard TBX to have version checking on the CFW templates, that will easy the job to keep updated. We will post again when its done. [/QUOTE]
