So do you think she was banned when the chip was turned off or is that not possible?
Maybe she left it switched on without realising.

Where is the best place to get a new EEPROM?

Re: OK so the new dashboard goes live tomorrow nov 1st.

OK so I take it no one knows? I see lots of lookers but no answers? IM really confussed on this new update. i see things here and there but the only answers anyone gives are al tech talk like bravehearts post on the main page about the new updat its all tech i have no idea what 3/4 of it means. like so can we still play new backups if we dont do the updates? I have not and never have ever hooked my xbox to the net(ihave no intrest in online play) I do update my dashboards by usb though. Now i know not to do the new update but if i dont can i still play newer games? I have an older firmware1.5 i think with a samsung drive. I make all my backups into wave 3 by removeing the pfi and video partitions and replacing them with wave 3 pfi's and video.( like i said i dont play online so i dont care about the stelth) will this method still work for newer games if I dont update to the new dashboard? I knwo I wont have kenect ability but i really dont care as there is no kenetic games out right now that i would bother to buy anyway and i am sure it will be sometime untill there are any games worth buying for it. by then they will have figured out a firmware fix. anyway if someone can answer any of my questions i would be happy.

Re: OK so the new dashboard goes live tomorrow nov 1st.

Mate!
Essentially
updated dash enables the previously unused ap2.5 checks
these are currently only present on fable 3.
new dash on old games (at present - should be okay!)
update apparently can be done whilst drive is flashed - safely.
new games and new dash = BAD!
recommended? wait for LT+ before trying newer games!
yes - if you are happy changing the waves on games - chances it will continue to work!

Re: OK so the new dashboard goes live tomorrow nov 1st.

OK cool thanks braveheart. first sorry for posting in the wrong section been awhile since i posted just started posting again the other day ,and out of habit posted in the old section. second ok so i understand... i change the waves of all my games fable works just fine and black ops and all every game works just fine.(like i said im not worried about security because i don't pay for live and i don't go online i have no interest in it) ok so its the game that checks for the new ap2.5 thing?.. or is it the update that checks the game against the ap 2.5 thing? where i am going with this since i am happy playing all the latest games off line is.. If i dont update and my games play just fine like is is there gonna be a reason Ill have to re flash and update? like are newer games gonna have something different that my method of just changing the wave to play wont work anymore with this new ap2.5 thing?

im sure wont be long and newer games will have the update on disk and you'll be forced to do it or the games wont load. even changing them to wave 3 wont matter, i was still forced to update last fall even after changing to wave three but then after update i could play just fine. but is this new thing gonna change that? i know i know lots of questions.

Re: OK so the new dashboard goes live tomorrow nov 1st.

Brave heart ok so i read around let me see if i have this right.. lol correct me if im wrong ok.

1. its not fable itself that is doing the damage it is a combination of fable3 and the new dashboard.

2. fable 3 is fine and dosent trigger the new checks on older dashboards just the new one?

3. right now preaty much if you run backups and install or have installed the new dashboard your screwed online or off it dosent matter anymore?

4. If your gonna run backups on-line or off right now stay clear of the new dashboard update?

5. Not sure but hasbro family game night 3 is the first wave 7 and may contain the new dashboard and if run my force the new update? so stay clear of it?

6.everyone who wants to play backups right now and go online on live are preaty much out of luck untill a new cfw comes out unless they like getting banned?

7. only safe way to boot fable three is too either have 1. older firmware, 2. patch it to wave 3, and 3. have not updated to the new dashboard?

so in short right now doing anything with a updated and modded xbox360 (i.e. playing backups, trying to switch profiles around, going on line) can and will most likely get you a nice paper weight?

looks like microsoft is gonna have a great xmas with new hardware sales lol
