ahah, your still in on it

come on...hello it was a joke (M$ endorsing "piracy")

you want a fix, replace your laser or replace your drive... or ... check the back-ups that arn't working with ABGX (set up correctly !!!) and make a txt file, upload that and link us to it so we can see the report. PM me and we can talk on MSN if you like so I can help you...

yeah I meant now I know (it was suggested to me by a friend who does laptop repairs but I already ordered the backlight) lucky I can solder also because after installing the inverter (like properly not just a test fit) it would cut on and off every time it was moved. Turned out to be a cold solder joint on one end of an SMD cap (my favorite  )

gigabite

don't use iCrap 

IMHO

mtkflash for Samsung

FWToolbox for Hitachi

Dosflash for any other drive

gigabite

so does it load faster without it...or at the same speed

gigabite

since the search function is broken atm,


nope, it will NOT affect your mod in anyway at all - anytime your prompted for an update it's fine to update

gigabite

I thought that was just me...for the past 2 days on different computers and browsers I have been getting this message:

(Database error...at the top of the page)

"Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator. "

gigabite

^ no it can be logged locally via the use of SECDATA.BIN


yes

gigabite

basically, when you install it what happens is it copies the update to your HDD or MU...inside what it copies to your actual console is basically know as the RRoD file ($RRD.BIN located in the FS - [ File System ]).

This can be remotely triggered (i.e Xbox LIVE), set to a time/date or specific game - you can get rid of it but only once you open your console (theirs always a trick isn't there) thus voiding your warranty so you can't send it back to them...money grabbing bastards

gigabite

de-tach the HDD, is it faster ?

gigabite

(he's referring to fw hacking), 79Unlock is to unlock the drive once it's in modeB (via the use of Slax) so that you can write to it...this needs to be done successfully otherwise you can only read the drive. Post more info, use punctuation, it helps

gigabite

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA 

i'm going to fall off my chair XD, this has to be the best line ever

gigabite

I think he wants to do this "so he dosen't get banned on XBL".......correct ??

If yes, then no that won't work because your console still logs that you have played a bad back-up OFFLINE

Otherwise...what Arakon said

gigabite

it's simple, de-solder it...then re-solder a new one (ahh from my research quite a while ago IIRC you can use either ethernet chip, there are 2 kinds : one that you can see the pins, and one that you can't).

Depending on which ethernet chip you have, if you have the one where you can see the legs then coat them all with solder and leave a big solder blob on them on each side.  If you have the ethernet chip where you can't see the legs, it will be a little harder to de-solder (as you can't wet the legs, which helps when de-soldering) but nevertheless your still going to be using a heatgun to do it.

As for soldering, if you have the ethernet chip where you can see the legs then this job is easy...wet all the pads on the board, wet/clean all the legs of the chip (this is done by using a large amount of solder and running it across the legs...very easy). Sit the chip in place and solder each corner leg so it doesn't move when you try to do the rest. If you have the chip where you can't see the legs then your going to need to use a heatgun carefully to re-attach it 

good luck (btw wrong section..)

gigabite

no, my solution is better - I recommend this to everyone

there's a big button on the front...don't ever push it and you will never get banned (THIS METHOD IS 100% TRUE DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE !!!)

gigabite

your telling me...how many things do M$ get right 

gigabite

oh ffs...


Yeah, you know what...your right...a FIRMWARE update (i.e from Xtreme to iXtreme) will stop your non-stealth games running


No that's not possible...if it were we'd all be running hacked dashes by now (look up "efuses" just to get a taste)

I think this topic needs to be locked, I mean it's honestly going nowhere - you have disagreed with the admin (who actually does know what he is talking about unlike your other typical "l00k I hack3d my xb0x" forums)....actually whatever figure it out yourself

$#!t...my bad

if you look here (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/nxe/)

under the improvement etc, it says

"Changed the way hacked consoles will respond to burnt media - now only loading most back-ups"


EDIT: neonpolaris \\


I did....and they work exactly the same



exactly

gigabite

come on, come on...lets net get into the legal stuff and grey areas - come on what the hell is RCOD ?

gigabite

actually mate n00bpwner360 is right...I am looking at a Xenon ground shield and a Falcon ground shield (literally right in front of me) which is the same as a Jasper...and the Falcons av port screw holes are in fact closer together then the Xenon's

I put an Xenon board in and every other screw hole matches minus the AV port...you kind of get half the motherboard and 1/4 the screw hole in the space of the actual screw holes (read it twice), and the cut-out where the AV connector goes (so you can plug in your cable) is halfway down the actual AV connector...

pics (sorry there absolutely ridiculous - don't even say, but you can see what i'm talking about)





gigabite

this does not matter...

so your saying it worked for a week then went dead ?

what type of media are you using (brand), did you touch the lense of the laser at all when installing (after I have installed a new laser I always clean it just to be safe)

if you say Verbatim...and you have cleaned your laser (and/or didn't touch it) then i'd say tweak it though it shouldn't need to be.

Maybe it's just me, but has anyone noticed alot of the lasers (new...as in actually new from the factory not refurbished..so I hope) are either not working or dying quickly (or need a pot tweak) In some cases for me it seems the fault is actually lying in the drive and not the actual laser...and these are ones that haven't been touched [by some 6 year old and his dad's friends help and a soldering iron ] and haven't really been over worked if you want to call it that  -  -  Mostly Samsungs, but some Hitachi's (both old and new models)

gigabite

^^ I can agree with you 100% mate, but it would just be nice to actually see it done (minus the other benefits...i'm not referring to piracy). The trouble is....the real people have all either stopped or gone away    (robinsod come back....I miss our 2am (your 6am) chats !!  )
