New ban-resistant Xbox 360 firmware coming soon from C4eva

[Zeus]

It looks as if Microsoft's efforts to ban all those 360's has made hackers pretty angry! According to reports, C4eva has a new firmware in the works with all features of it indistinguisable from the original so there will be NO MORE bans!

<blockquote>4Eva announced he's working on a new firmware on IRC:
"[c4eva] new fw in dev/test - ixtreme LT (Lite Touch) - more efficient , minimal patching , all aspects of fw indistinguisable from orig, no more bans, No ETA!"

We do not have more details atm.
As far as we know the 3 'test boxes' C4Eva has running (see here) are still fine (not banned).</blockquote>

The day someone makes an unbannable xbox is the day the that Microsoft lets can play ps3 games on the xbox 360.

The only reason it has banned yet because the codes not public soon as it is Microsoft will know what to look for then BOOM ban wave.

C4Eva already updated saying all 3 Xbox's were banned at the same time. I'll find the pastebin link.

It seems that MS have found a way to detect the firmware. At least, that's the latest guess.

if that was the case everyone would be banned, but thats not case, but then again. if u play with fire your bound to get burned!

the hackers should get angry and focus on a real hack like the one on the original xbox instead of playing cat and mouse with m$ for overrated live service.

the ****?, the description says they got banned, but the actual paste doesn't say anything related to that?

I think you would have to be nuts to buy a new 360 anytimes soon and trust new firmware on it. Easier to buy a new 360 and some older secondhand games that you already like playing multiplayer with the odd new release... doesnt need to cost an arm and a leg to get back into the game... if you so wished. Or like other people, keep your banned box and get a PS3 lol.

Wow what did you do, only read the top line lol. He said this at line 3:11...

"[03:11] <+c4eva> suspect they are going hard on warez releases and incorrect use of abgx!"

Where do you find in that conversation they he says the firmware is detectable, in fact in the conversation he says...

"[03:06] <+c4eva> fw itself not detectable!"

No where in the conversation does it say his 3 test consoles got banned, so please, stop spreading lies unless you got the evidence to back up your claim, makes you look like a fool.

P.S. Maxconsole, this is old news, can someone suggest a better overall gaming site that doesn't post old news like this, this news has been out for days for the public, don't believe me? Go look at xbox-scene.com and scroll down...

I would not at all be suprised if the likes of abgx are indeed the reason for the ban wave. I wouldn't have put it past MS to have put a copy of one or more of their own games with a marker on torrents and the like for pirates to dl. ABGX would still see it as a legit copy no doubt but MS could see it was their marked game that will only work on hacked consoles. If that is the case, no firmware would protect you and no game would be safe untill multiple versions had been checked against retail versions to see if there are the same.

I can't see MS doing this as being a problem for them, their games are going to get ripped and put online anyway, so if they are indeed doing this, they are not hurting themselves, they would tho make it exceptionaly easy for them to detect pirates.

It seems no one is safe, I just got banned today and I havn't played any backups since the ban wave began, and hardly any before that either.

Bullshit. How can people even believe thoose obviously fake logs? The LT consoles aren't banned yet, or at least c4eva didn't announce it.

Also, there are rumors about the latest dashboard update installing new flags, that might be the cause. If its that, it will be really hard to disguise a modified fw.

Yea they got me too and I was surprised. I haven't played any of my backups or even my legit ones online since my account expired over six months ago yet they banned me. It's funny though that I upgrade to 1.61 and a few days later I get banned.

There are people reporting that they have been banned even though they have never signed onto Live with a pirated disc. Some people are reporting not having signed onto Live at all in months, and then all of a sudden getting banned. It seems Microsoft has been flagging consoles for quite some time in preparation for this moment. I don't know anyone who's survived this ban wave yet. It seems that my console is also flagged for a banning, so I've avoided Live to retain functionality.

Believe what you will. It's not just about warez releases. People who rip their own games and don't use ABGX have also been banned.
