The first wave 12 game is out

I wouldn't do that. If you format a 360 hard drive on a PC it'll just screw it up so it doesn't work on the 360 and you'll lose all of your game saves. If the 360 won't boot when the hard drive isn't even connected, then it can't be that anyway.

 

I'm using usb & I have formatted it several times...

 

True story - Definitely take funksoulb's advice.

 

ok I put the original madden in one of them xboxes & the update went thru.. will try the other one later tonight...

 

just wanted to give you all an update.. both xboxes had failed update screen. I was tryin to play madden 12. with the 1st xbox I put new stock firmware on & I was still stuck at update screen. I put original copy of madden 12 in the console & it went right thru the update with no issues. I did dash update via usb flash drive. I put lt 1.9 on there. xbox works like a charm. the 2nd xbox: when I put original madden 12 in that one it automatically updated firmware to the drive but removed ixtreme firmware I had on it. so I did dash update, den I put lt 1.9 on this one as well (& don't forget to inject/manual spoof the right dvd key) and it works like a charm.. so thanks to all that help me thru all the probs... so I'm assuming if anyone is stuck at update screen, get original copy of game & it should put you back on dashboard...

 

Also wanted to give an update as well. Was running LT+1.1 on a banned fat console on the 2.0.12625.0 dash. Went ahead and flashed back to my original firmware that came with the console, updated dash to 2.0.13599.0, and then flashed to LT+1.91, and it works like a charm. Thanks funk for your help.

One last question, it is safe to assume that going forward, all LT updates will require us to flash back to stock first?

 

Did you let the screen sit for awhile at the stop in the update? What happened to me was I did the update without checking online first, bad choice lol. But it stopped about halfway so I was like crap, restart system and doesn't go to dash and does update thing again. Downloaded the official systemupdate and tossed it on a flash drive and popped it in and did same thing. Then I just left it hanging there while I browsed some forums to troubleshoot and while I was browsing the system update finished. It was probably sitting at the hanging point for a good 5 mins give or take a few mins. I was updating from ixtreme 1.4 btw lol. Since it happened I flashed to LT+ 1.91 and all is well.

 

actually it didn't take but about one minute for the update to complete once I put the original game in.

 

I've been looking this new wave 12 - 13 stuff up and I have a few questions. First of all, If i haven't updated the dashboard and i update to 1.9 and play a wave 12 game will I have to reflash?

Is it Possible to mod the ISO's to wave 11, or even wave 2 like back in the day?

And is it really true or is the hearsay, 1.6 will be lost if you play a wave 12 game??

If there is any additional information i should know, i greatly appreiciate it!

 

1.yes, but you still have to do the update and it reflashes your dive so its pointless.
2.yes, it reflashes your drive
3.ill leave that one to the members that know more than i.

 

So from what i read I'd have to update and lose the flash, then reflash for 1.9. is it possible to flash to 1.9 and then update or does the update always flash the drive back irregaurdless? Also if i took out the drive and updated via live would that help?

 

if you flash to 1.9 while your drive is not stock, the update will overwrite your drive's firmware, making it useless.

make sure not to update unless you have your stock obw firmware, otherwise you will have bricked your xbox

 

What is the process to update the dash if I had to replace my DVD drive, i do not have the original?

 

if the drive you have now is in your xbox then its the same as normal as long as its the same drive that it came with in the first place. like the ones that came with a sammy that have been replaced have to have a sammy as the new drive.
