not sure if if im bricked or what, I just tried updating to the latest firmware via Rugby 2011 and i recieved this error msg:

Can not update latest software please turn off XBOX and try again

Status Code: 3151 335A B800 0F00 C000 0013"

If i turn it off and turn it on again it just has the same message, it doesnt even go to the dashboard anymore. If it helps im on iXtreme 1.6 (never bothered to update since i dont know how myself and the closest guy to me who does hack it is a complete knob and i havent bothered to deal with him since the first time.) Anyways please tell me i can fix this, if not....i guess it serves me right for being a pirate but hey i have no job, its either pirate or dont play games at all.

 

Rugby 2011 is confirmed Wave 12. Like what FAST said you'll need to reflash your drive.

 

Right now Rugby is the only game with the drive flashing update. If he doesn't have it, it's gone.

 

So are you one of the idiots who reflashed his drive back to LT1.2 after the update before this one?
Or one of the smarter ones who used his factory settings dvd drive for the update?

Either way, the update before this one flashed everyone's drive to LT1.9+ stock.

You will need to flash it to the lt+1.9 available elsewhere.

If you are on 1.2+ or below, it will give that error.

(I know, because I was one of the complete idiots who reflashed to LT+1.1 after that update that flashed everyone's drive. Took me a while to find the issue)

 

You don't need the dvd drive keys, or anyone to do it for you.

Google for a dissasembly guide for your xb360
Unplug the sata to your dvd drive and plug it into your xb360
Download LT+1.9
Download the latest version of jungleflasher.
There are thousands of videos on youtube to help you there.


You can always spoof the keys from your current drive to the new firmware. Jungleflasher can read the keys, so thats why you don't need em saved.

 

Three things have come to a head here
1) DVD dashboard updates

2) Regular updates

3) Hacked DVD firmwares vs MS.

Regular updates do all that MS does with said updates (usually not that much from the hacker perspective but lately stuff like AP2.5 updates and this business) and these updates eventually (22nd of August from about the same time in May to say nothing of there being another update since then) trickle down onto DVD releases. Originally they fit into an allotted space but these days (mainly space reasons) they sit in other parts which these days mean new disc waves appear (originally they did not*) and this wave 12 corresponds to I am not actually sure which version (there are two choices and things have been odd in the past) but seemingly one of the DVD reflashing/XDG3 supporting dashboards.

*wave patching then- three main reasons to do it 1- to dodge issues with the hacked DVD firmware (a thing of the past with 1.6NS or newer), 2- to prevent updates to keep on a beta dash (see one of the early, now defunct, AP2.5 bypass methods), 3- to prevent updates for a JTAG machine (kind of pointless as JTAG hacked dashes have yet to fall behind the waves to say nothing of the other stuff).

DVD firmwares then- most hacked firmwares prior to LT (and a hacked version of LT) would have methods in them to get them to cough up the unique drive key if it was asked too (see all the stuff like probes, shorting pins, unlock discs and whatnot you have to do to get keys initially for some drives- having to do this to update if the drive when someone lacks keys is annoying and it was a simple enough software addon so it was done) but LT tried to move closer to the original firmware rather than the fairly extensive customisation that was happening on the old 1.? lines which had the side effect of closing all these nice key dumping holes (there was a hacked version of the liteon LT that added the probe hole back but it never spread far and people were actively discouraged from using it).

The whole reason we have DVD hacks is that the DVD drive does a lot of the work when it comes to verification of the disc so when MS decided to try to expand the abilities of the DVD drive (see XDG3) they got to reflash it themselves which they pushed with an update but this update has a habit of failing (and as you have seen throwing toys out of the pram) if it does not encounter the original firmware (originally it was just a mild suggestion to reflash original DVD firmwares when updating but this update made it mandatory for a valid(ish) technical reason). To this end you get to find your keys, build an original firmware with them, flash that, allow it to update and then if you want flash a new firmware back again. If you have a liteon drive ( http://www.360drives.com/howto and see also the database on that site if you do not fancy pulling it apart) I hope you are still on 1.6 else you get to have some fun with probes and components (if you are reading around and it says you need to do the MRA hack ignore it as you should be able to do the pogo ma thoin hack nowadays as well/instead).

After this you have to move to an appropriate new firmware- the old 1.6 line is no good any more for the machines that are not JTAG hacked (yours is not and can not be). This means a version of LT which as already mentioned has the main change of requiring games to use splitvid (been around a while but was not mandatory before LT came along). ABGX360 can help you test and patch ISOs and you can always read the iso from a disc to reburn with. Bonus is those AP2.5 titles can be made to work again if you wanted.

 

Even on the potentially one good reason to wave patch a game (that old AP2.5 bypass hack) I would have probably just said suck it up and lose the then three games (just for reference a quick scan says with the exception of black ops any of those ap2.5 laden titles can be had for about the price of a decent pizza).

Anyhow yeah I agree that a lot of waffle back then so to answer the question no you do not have to wave patch the games.

Wave patching should have been a thing of the past with the release of 1.51 actually (although it did not work out that way) but definitely with all things LT (wave checking was a hacked firmware extra security measure that fell short on occasion and was dropped when it tried to get closer to the original with LT). You do have to make sure to check each iso with ABGX360 and make sure they have splitvid (scene rules mean all since the release of LT should have it but older ones might not and it is a simple check/fix so do check anyway).

 

What he did is to fix the update issue. You should be able to update now. MS will block your update if you aren't on LT+1.9 (or its hacked version)

 

THats what I mean by blocking the update. They block it by giving an error code after downloading it and it checks your drive for LT+1.9


But the only reason to update is to access xbox live.

 

Its fine if you update. Its just pointless other than being able to use xbox live.
