who actually has brute force?

the original xbox has been hacked and it can't even run a copy of xp. let alone any new OS.  Good luck on this one.   

So you have a modded firmware, and a damaged warrenty sticker, and they STILL fixed your xbox for free? WTF??

anyone?

you don't need a built in tuner....buy why not get it? For 999.00 shipped for free from new egg you can get a 37"... im getting 2.

correct me if im wrong, but with a hacked firmware it gives us just as much hackability with any regular backup as with the kiosk.  The media flag check is bypassed by the firmware, so we have gotten nowhere really.

well, i made a big long post. must have gotten deleted or I forgot to push post. but to sum it up, this thread is WAY off the original subject, 'dashboard on 360' but it has sparked a few ideas. none of which i honestly beleive will 'hack' the 360, but have the potential to do SOMETHING wether it be useful or not.

BTW: is the brute force game a PAL or NTSC game? special edition or what?

I just ordered it from amazon.com for $1.61 LOL.

First of all, you can't cheat with the fw hack. Secondly, Microsoft CAN do something about it, they just haven't. It isn't OVER risky to add simple checks to eliminate some of the problematic firmwares. Look at the PSP they still have a few firmwares that can play pirated/backup games, yet they are doing their best to eliminate as many as possible. and they are flashing every psp's firmware. Not too risky for them apparently.

M$ Will retaliate, and when it comes, be ready to be banned. or worse. They are more likely trying to come up with the single, ultimate solution. Probably trying to avoid the back and forth games. And they are most definately doing their research on the people involved in this progress, I.E. This website, its users and other websites.

Its like cracking a homicide case. you can't reveal any details about your attack until its time to come out and blame someone. Will allow people to find other ways around the situation. I'm waiting for the day to say, "oh $#!t, time to flash back to original and cross my fingers it still works"

you can always use ss merge 1.6 and compare the MD5.

Sorry, I wasn't getting the response in my other post as the subject was not relavent.

If I'm using a SATA->USB adaptor, do I still need to ground the xbox chassis to my computer chassis? If so, can I just use a ground wire inside of the usb cable and touch that to the xbox??? or maybe connect the unused ground wire inside of the sata sheath and connect it to a GND pin on the usb? any thoughts welcome.

Added a few results. You need to add an OTHER option in every one of those fields.

You don't have sony burners there, you dont have all data types, you need to add a searching function,  organization etc.

Can I play PS2 games on my PS4?

message or not, they did patch it quickly...why are they taking so long this time?

I would assume drive variations, and actually getting the right people banned... plus we keep comming out with better firmwares 2x as fast as they are preventing them.

last i heard, nobody was able to do anything with the kiosk disc....but why would microsoft ban it within days, must have been a threat.

i'll extract it and take a look when i get home.

did you even see what he said?

try this: gone

why doesn't everyone just use a nice router. get a real home network. thats how.

I have xb1, x360,ps2 and psp and my computer on my home network. the only thing connected directly to my cable modem is a linksys wireless router. and my modded xb1 has its own wireless router downstairs. the only thing directly connected to my routers, are xb1 and ps2. everything else is wireless. a router can protect you from many things.

yep. looks unencrypted to me... what file is it?

well. not necessarily shut it off, but shut it out of the circuit. if you are talking about the grounding issue, the usb adaptor i have is only powered when the external usb port is connected to the computer. which lights a led. I think im just going to tap into the ground in the usb cable and solder it to the chassis of the xbox. so whenever my usb cable is present the ground is a little more stable.

And if that were to be a common accident, they would need to show proof you were cheating. Hard to do if you can revert your firmware back.
