Get your AP2.5/XGD3 backups working again after the silent DAE update

From Ubergeek on our forums.

The recent silent DAE update stopped all AP2.5 / XGD3 backups from booting. Until a solid solution is released, here is a simple workaround

Thanks to Dattran over at XPGamesaves.com for discovering this simple work around.

For this example we are going to use MW3.

1. Get a USB flash drive, At least 1GB in size and format it (FAT)

2. Insert into Xbox and goto memory devices. Select USB and configure it as a storage device.

3. Download the this MW3 Title Update. Click here.

4. Download Horizon (Great game modding app btw – JTAG / Glitchers should be using the shit out of this – you can use other apps but this is my tool of choice). Click here

5. Select Tools > Device Explorer

6. Plug in USB device to PC

7. Device will be detected. Select Inject File

8. Load the the MW3 TU that you downloaded.

9. Connect the USB stick to your Xbox. Restart and boot your MW3 backup.

Notes: You may have to delete the system cache after every time you do a fresh boot of the game. But hey, it works.

Nothing is ever live safe. It may work, it may not. I'm not your mom make your own choice.

Please report if you have any success / links to TU's / better methods.

While this is a temporary measure, we can tell you there is something far more solid and far more golden that is in the works. Stay tuned

Also you should ignore lame groups who copy C4's work and then proclaim that his CFW doesn't work correctly. These guys would have NOTHING without C4's firmware. Ask the ODDE boys why they don't have hacks for the Hitachi 0500 or the DG-16D5S – yet a few days after C4 will release those these emulator guys will "miraculously" have their own solution. Innovation is great – but don't don't bite the hand that feeds you – and don't be lame and give credit where its due.
