If you plan on using your Xbox 360 with modified drive firmware from our friend c4eva any more, please do not update yet! Microsoft today has rolled out a new kernel update to their dash which does ap25 checking on the fly. Which will pretty much render the firmware hack useless.. Quote From An Inside Source: It was a great day for the Playstation 3, and a horrible one for the Xbox 360. It took Sony 4 years to get hacked, while it took Microsoft 4 years to actually get their security right. The kernel 2.0.12625.0 in the new dashboard update has been updated to do on the fly ap25 patching. 3 Non AP25 games were tested, and all of them give you a black screen forcing you to reboot. BlackOPS, Modern Warfare 2, and Halo Reach were amongst the one's tested. Although we will not see ban flags coming from this, as LT+ protects us from the ban, drive firmware hacking is pretty much a thing of the past. http://www.console-spot.com/2011/01/19/do-not-update-your-xbox-live/ [2011-01-19 08:22PM UTC] #fw <comradele> so will this new update require yet another firmware like LT or just new SS files?
