Post subject: for those having issues with new firmware |
 |
| |
This is a c/p from that other site....
1) The physical DVD drive is flashed with new firmware
Some drives are being flashed during the initial update process. This is overwriting your current drive firmware, whether it is custom or original. This is the reason why all backups are failing to boot for some people after the update, because you no longer have custom firmware. Re-flashing back to a CFW will allow current backups to start working again, except for the 4 AP25-active titles listed below that have a new challenge set in 13141.
Flashing back to a different drive firmware could result in unknown consequences as the dashboard may be expecting to be communicating with a drive with updated OFW.
In the newly flashed drives, you may find that you can’t retrieve your drive key. More information to follow…
2) A new AP25 challenge table
Data from 13141 dash:
- 4 known games are in the table – all known language versions of AC:B, Fable III, NFS:HP and Halo Reach.
- These 4 games each have a new set of challenges so the current available patches will not work with a LT+ CFW.
- Call of Duty MW2 and Black Ops have been removed from the table so unpatched and patched backups should work with a LT+ CFW. Confirmation to follow.
- Read my AP25 FAQ for more information about the table.
AP25 continues to be a successful anti-backup measure. Do not dismiss it.
What’s next?
Obviously the relevant people are on it. New drive firmware is being examined. New CFW versions based on the new OFW is likely to be needed. Don’t expect any updates for some time, this won’t be affecting anyone with a retail dash for a while yet. You can always play your originals in the meantime.
Thanks
A big thank you to those involved, you know who you are
