M$ being able to scan your f/w

Post by xWickedDreamz »

Ok I got a message the other day from a friend on xbl that M$ was going to be scanning the f/w on everyone's drives on the 17th,18th, and 19th of Nov. He also said not to take the update because it will **** your 360 up. He said the last update we had in Aug. he accepted and it ****ed his 360 up. Personally I think it is because his 360 has been flashed in a different way than mine has but I am not sure. What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

Does your friend wear aluminum foil hat's and constantly think he is being followed?

haha no man, the aug update patched the jtag exploit, nothing more nothing less. I'm close to 100% sure it had 0 effect on your friend. (From reading his message)

The fact that he has dates for the 'FW scanning' proves this is fake, I can guarentee M$ wouldnt just scan over a period of 3 days, and they definitely would not let anyone know they were doing it. Not only that but its HIGHLY unlikely they would, or even could do that.

The beta update has already been released, and as far as I know there have been no problems as of yet...

good point about him having dates. I will let him know he can take the aluminum foil off now.

Figure I should bump this...

Seems as though M$ has a new method for detecting modded xbox's (possibly FW scanning?) but clearly his dates are way off...

Interesting... CK3? What kind of games were played on the console? You use ABGX? If so what are your settings like? Does it tweak the angles, patch files etc?
