Sembrerebbe che alcuni utenti del forum americano Xbox-Scene abbiano riscontrato blocchi all'avvio della console dopo l'aggiornamento odierno della Dashboard.
La console ad aggiornamento effettuato è risultata inutilizzabile riportando a video l'errore 66.
Il team Xecuter ha analizzato una di queste console con lettore Samsung MS28 flashato con Xtreme 3.3.
Dopo aver accertato che il problema non fosse semplicemente legato a un casuale problema nel firmware, il Team Xecuter ha provato a flashare un Xtreme 4.2a usando un CK. La console ha ripreso regolarmente a funzionare sia offline che in live sia con giochi originali che con backup.
Sembrerebbe dunque che ci sia un'incompatibilità tra Xtreme 3.3 (forse solo per MS28???) e l'ultimo aggiornamento della dash. Da questo test è comunque evidente che non c'è stato un reflashing dalla dashboard o un ban del mac address di questa console. Fa pensare, comunque , il fatto che la dashboard sia in grado di discriminare tra un firmware e l'altro...Che questo sia solo un primo passo fatto da MS per dimostrare alle SoftwareHouse che si sta muovendo contro la pirateria?
Stay TUNED!!!
Ecco l'articolo completo dal team Xecuter:
There have been many reports of peoples Xbox 360's dying after the fall update when they have a flashed drive.
One of our friends had this problem so he brought his Xbox to us for analysis. Here are some facts.
1. Samsung MS28 Drive
2. Flashed with Xtreme v3.3
3. E66 error after Fall Update
4. Red lights / No boot to dash
We dumped his firmware and compared to his original X33.bin flash - MD5 was the same and of course that meant his drivekey was correct too.
We then simply converted his X33.bin to the new X42a.bin (Xtreme v4.2 Fast Boot Mode as Default) and reflashed (and for those that may ask using a VIA 6421L card and Xecuter Connectivity Kit v2 with a seperate Molex PSU (wouldnt work with PC power - had to power up the drive first before PC - of course you could use power from the 360 itself too if you wish)
The Xbox 360 now boots just fine - both offline and on live with originals and backups.
Conclusion?
That there was no evidence of the drive being reflashed by the fall update & the live account / MAC address was NOT banned. Also that there was some kind of incompatibility with the new update and the older hacked firmware. Maybe this was accidental or part of the master plan. Who knows?
If others could give input on their own experiences then that would help a lot of people. We are not yet sure if this causes any problems with MS25 or Hitachi drives - time will tell.
For now enough of the scaremongering. You can rescue your drive, although I feel sorry for those people who don't learn from sites like ours on how to do it yourself, as no doubt you'll have to go pay $80 or whatever to the local Joe Schmo who originally flashed your drive.
And of course, as always, use Xbox Live at your own risk if you are using a hacked console. If you ever kill your box or you get banned your cries will unfortunatley fall on deaf ears.
Come sempre:
Usate backup in Live! a vostro rischio e pericolo...
