More On The XGD3 Dashboard Update, Write Solution

As the new Spring dashboard begins to roll out to Xbox users everywhere, news regarding the effects of the update, LT 2.0 and a write solution for Liteon 0225 Slim drives has arisen. The lead of Team-Xecuter, Xecuter, provided some information regarding the latest developments.
Here are some things of note so you have a clue of what’s coming:

• After the update the drive fw is also updated with a new stock fw, rendering the drive unable to play backups (for now).
• When the drives are flashed back again with LT fw the previous AP2.5 patched titles are no longer booting (expected and will be updated with new XBC and 0800)
• It seems that the first update has only been sent to Liteon DG-16D2S and Liteon DG-16D4S drives (Unconfirmed)
• The key location on phat models is now in a different area, so a new JF will be released to accommodate this change which was already anticipated in advance.
• There has been EXTENSIVE progress with all the new AP2.5 challenges. New 0800 BENQ fw is almost ready.
• There is a new XBC (Xbox Backup Creator) that has been designed alongside the new 0800 ripping fw – you’ll love it :)
• There will be new LT fw’s for all of the new versions that have been released.
• XGD3 progress is being made and there will be an update on this soon.
• We have received unverified reports that after the update to a 9504 slim drive the write protect was enabled like the 0225 drives (Unconfirmed)
• All the slim key read and slim write routines have changed also (again fully anticipated). Easily fixed with new JF
We will also confirm that we have a solution to all unlock all 0225 drives so you can write the firmware. This has been 100% verified and working and we are producing the addons as we speak and will have them available as soon as possible. We will release 2 versions, a kit for pro modders to offer as a service and also a DIY mod type device that users can install themselves. There is a LOT going on so we are working as fast as possible on all projects. There you have it. In short, as Microsoft drops this bombshell, Team-Xecuter and related parties drop this one. New firmwares, a 0225/0401 write solution, and new Jungleflasher, and XBC applications. As always, if you want to make it through this update with an unflagged/unbanned/working console as long as possible, UPGRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Personally, I have a Phat Xbox with a Liteon 94350C drive and I haven't received any update notices on the first day of updates. We'll keep you updated with any happening. Source: Team-Xecuter
