Xbox Live Update.....New Protections Added

New Protections Added to Leaked 12606 and Fall2010 Dashboard?

>> A new beta version [build 12606] of the Fall 2010 [alias 'Kinect'] dashboard has been leaked on the internet a few days ago and it seems like Microsoft added new protections to it. Several users seems to report problems booting certain games from recordable media on 360s with a modified DVD FW.
One of the titles affected seems to be Fable III. The game boots fine from any media on the current dashboard on a 360 with modified FW, but fails to boot from recordable media on the leaked/12606 beta dashboard ["This disc is unreadable"] - while the retail disc will work just fine according to #FW@EFnet.

Right now it's unclear which games, DVD models and/or modified FWs are exactly affected.

The new fall 2010 dashboard might get official released tomorrow [Tuesday Oct 26th 2010] (unconfirmed date, but it will be before Nov 4th anyway) to all 360 owners, so we suggest you do NOT update if you have a modified FW until we know more about these issues.
JTAG users should of course not update at all (will lock-out old CB and make the JTAG hack impossible), they should wait for a new rebooter.

man
next time ask your question in a new thread in the 360 area

but no there is no good way to update
the drive has very little to do with a update that is installed on the kernel of your console if not replacing the console kernel

[JUVY]

sorry man .. gonna start a new thread about it in the right area..cuz am lost on what u just told me about the kernel

[trailz]

I guess this update could be a few things. Kinect support, will be there. Wave 7, too, perhaps? If Lite Touch is actually detectable, this is about the time for another ban wave...

[djshauny1]

Has Microsoft officially announced the 26th as the new update date??

I cant find anything where microsoft says its the 26th

Plus im im the beta on my slim and we just got another beta update.

If they were to release it today then why are they rolling out another beta update??

my pal has a banned 1 that we STRESS OUT all the time and i gave him the new update 5 days ago to try fix his issues with game saves and it works for all the bk'ups he has, but have not tried fable 3 yet.

gutting news having just done 3 in the last week

my banned xb has LT and is a lite-on 7s

[HaGGardSmurf]

Wave 7, too, perhaps?

Probably, but waves dont matter anymore. LT does not check the wave.

@grass, have you been banned recently, or are you talking about last ban wave?

[GRASSASS]

last wave man twas a new elite
now its just a workhorse that lives on

dont wanna c a wave 7 not yet ... slow down ...
