[2011-06-10 08:31AM UTC] #c4e <Frozn> awesome!
[2011-06-10 08:32AM UTC] #c4e <Frozn> does that mean its ready for release?
[2011-06-10 08:32AM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> frozn:doesnt work
[2011-06-10 08:33AM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> yes
[2011-06-10 08:33AM UTC] #c4e <Barmaley> c4, after 0225 and phats do u look at 0500?

[2011-06-11 06:55AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> Feel these perky tits!
[2011-06-11 06:57AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> I wish they didnt have to go
[2011-06-11 06:57AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> Whats the 3 options of unlock kit for 0225 drives thats coming out?
[2011-06-11 06:58AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> no
[2011-06-11 06:58AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> 1. a one off solder method 2 . a pro solder kit for masses 3. the pcb swap thing
[2011-06-11 06:58AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> or 9504 drive swap
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> isnt the 9504 spoofing drive swap alot cheaper and easier or is it just because spoofing risks a ban
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> no
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> no
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> its not spoofing
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> its identical hardware
[2011-06-11 07:00AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> same drive essentially
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <MajorD> No write protect.
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> 9504 may be cheaper for some people btw
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> so would you not be better just buying a 9504 drive
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> its not better vs worse
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> just do whats cheaper for u
[2011-06-11 07:01AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> u may find 9504 swap is cheaper than no solder ad on…if u cant solder
[2011-06-11 07:02AM UTC] #fw <madman4> as long as 0225 cfw doesnt enable write protection on 9504
[2011-06-11 07:02AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu>
[2011-06-11 07:02AM UTC] #fw <Trace> =D
[2011-06-11 07:02AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> so is the unlock kit (pcb replacement) not just the pcb from a 9504
[2011-06-11 07:02AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> no
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> unclock kits is not pcb replacement
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <darc11> Q: what’s the slim to get?
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> no
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> Liteon DG-16D4S - Unlocked Replacement PCB - CK3.CO.UK
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> rowan thats not a unlock kit
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> thats just a pcb
[2011-06-11 07:03AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> u can get a solder solution
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> which is much cheaper
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> and do the conversion urself
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> id rather not solder, i suck at it
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <rett> learn, it’s worth it
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> this pcb is a new item due for release on 30th June and is on TX Forum latest news
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <rett> hey mespo
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> pcb is not add on….its just a pcb to my knowledge
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> isnt that just the dear method of flashing the 0225
[2011-06-11 07:04AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> hi rett!
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <Sleepynko> Liteon DG-16D4S - Unlocked Replacement PCB - CK3.CO.UK –> its "EZ-Fit No-Solder kit" or only PCB ?
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <zellcorp> I hope its solder people will pay me to do it
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> that looks like a pcb
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> Liteon DG-16D4S - Unlocked Replacement PCB - PRE ORDER NOW ! - Team Xecuter
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> the clip on no solder solution is different as far as i no
[2011-06-11 07:05AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> see was posted 10hrs ago and its on the #c4e
[2011-06-11 07:06AM UTC] #fw <Sleepynko> Rowan: I read it all
[2011-06-11 07:06AM UTC] #fw <rett> It looks like their "no solder" solution is just to replace the entire board…
[2011-06-11 07:06AM UTC] #fw <rett> makes sense
[2011-06-11 07:06AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> yup
[2011-06-11 07:06AM UTC] #fw <c4eva> its the no solder solution


[2011-06-11 07:09AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> @rett : exactly thanks
[2011-06-11 07:09AM UTC] #fw <XboxUser> he wont give a eta anyway everyone just says soon
[2011-06-11 07:09AM UTC] #fw <sockz> patters78: unless they can disable write protect remotely, no
[2011-06-11 07:09AM UTC] #fw <Sleepynko> one pack, one time, before X360key…"soon"
[2011-06-11 07:09AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> ITS NOT AN ETA QUESTION
[2011-06-11 07:10AM UTC] #fw <rett> oh, meant at rowan not mespo
[2011-06-11 07:10AM UTC] #fw <mespo365>
[2011-06-11 07:10AM UTC] #fw <rett> meh, it’s late
[2011-06-11 07:10AM UTC] #fw <The504> Aww I just missed it
[2011-06-11 07:10AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> so rett hows your night?
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <rett> crap, I’ve been sleep walking through finals and now family is in town
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> Funny shit
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> Hide unedited context ﾫ
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> [2011-06-11 06:55AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> Feel these perky tits!
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> [2011-06-11 06:57AM UTC] #fw <Thatonegu> I wish they didnt have to go
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> damn thats no good
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> ’
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> ^^idiot
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> it’s on C4 Speaks
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <SiloCyBin> nice
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <patters78> so the 0225 might be the perfect drive
[2011-06-11 07:11AM UTC] #fw <The504> unreal
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <The504> iman idiot?
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> benq is perfect drive :P
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <rett> liteons don’t sound like jet aircraft…
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <mespo365>
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <The504> mespo365: How am I an idiot?
[2011-06-11 07:12AM UTC] #fw <patters78> benq not in a slim
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <rett> stop taking things personally The504
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> ha
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <The504> No just first thing I saw
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <jaycboy> wonder wen we get treated to a pic of the pro unlock kit
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> so to confirm before I purchase this pcb… if i have a 0225 drive and do not wish to solder the thing I just buy this and pop it in the drive via the ribbon cables, then flash it normally with the new LT fw that will be released
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <The504> on c2.com
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <rett> Rowan: yep
[2011-06-11 07:13AM UTC] #fw <The504> im out
[2011-06-11 07:14AM UTC] #fw <Rowan> and it will read/write as a 0225 drive and not a 9504
[2011-06-11 07:14AM UTC] #fw <kinvig> doesnt the board require soldering on the top left pads ?
[2011-06-11 07:14AM UTC] #fw <rett> they releasedan unlocked pcb
[2011-06-11 07:14AM UTC] #fw <Blankz> no soldering thats why ur changeing the board cheez some people
[2011-06-11 07:14AM UTC] #fw <rett> it’s the "no solder" solution
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> is the pcb a china knockoff or an actaul 9504 pcb/
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> ?
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <Blankz> rett sum people ar just idiots mate
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <Blankz> of course its a knockoff
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <rett> mespo365: everything’s from china
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> not nec
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> true rett…u no what i mean
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <mespo365> is it stock 9504…or a custom job
[2011-06-11 07:15AM UTC] #fw <c4eva> mes:custom made pcb by t-x

[axxxo]

[2011-06-12 01:20PM UTC] #fw <KASS> oh look its not ‘soon’ yet
[2011-06-12 01:21PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> kiss my ass first!
[2011-06-12 01:22PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> I don’t see the advantage in fw mods on 0225, considering how hard it is. Vs the x360key.
[2011-06-12 01:22PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> There is the big unknown of the XGD3 discs…
[2011-06-12 01:23PM UTC] #fw <Jockaveli> im sure they will work it out!
[2011-06-12 01:23PM UTC] #fw <Jockaveli> never let us down before!
[2011-06-12 01:23PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> but if you had the option, of waiting for them to figure it out. Then buying a 9504 drive, or buying the PCB etc
[2011-06-12 01:23PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> OR…
[2011-06-12 01:24PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> buying x360key. open 360, exract key, plug in, and play. All discs, xgd3, or not…
[2011-06-12 01:24PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> doesn that make sense?
[2011-06-12 01:24PM UTC] #fw <Jockaveli> personaly i’ve been happy with what c4 has offered so doubt i’ll change
[2011-06-12 01:24PM UTC] #fw <Jockaveli> cant go on live with x360key tho can you???
[2011-06-12 01:24PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> x360key will get box banned, thats why
[2011-06-12 01:25PM UTC] #fw <Jockaveli> thanks for clarifying that c4
[2011-06-12 01:25PM UTC] #fw * mr-crix bends over and kisses c4eva on the ass.. if it gets me the 1.9 why not
[2011-06-12 01:25PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> Clarifying? hehe, if c4eva could predict the future, I don’t think he would be making fw mods, we would be playing the lotto
[2011-06-12 01:25PM UTC] #fw <iLLNESS> if your going to buy an x360key, why not just get a jtag
[2011-06-12 01:25PM UTC] #fw <iLLNESS> heh
[2011-06-12 01:26PM UTC] #fw <KASS> c4eva told me to kiss his ass for fw? i dunno, did he shower yet today?
[2011-06-12 01:26PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> because the word on the street is that it will be live safe
[2011-06-12 01:28PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> there are lots of ways to detect a drive emulator, very easy for them to check for it
[2011-06-12 01:39PM UTC] #fw <PhoenixV> what keeps fw mods live safe (serious question, not trolling)
[2011-06-12 01:40PM UTC] #fw <Bizzeh> PhoenixV: the fact that MS dont to a CRC check on the firmware… which they could at any point implement and make any mod non-live-safe
[2011-06-12 01:41PM UTC] #fw <Typhoon> refurbished 9504 drives are cheapr then the addon for 0225
[2011-06-12 01:42PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> nearly all 9504 drives for sale from china are fakes, beware!
[2011-06-12 01:43PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> bizzeh:crc check? wrong!
[2011-06-12 01:44PM UTC] #fw <ALiEN`> i dont understand why c4eva dont release fws completed
[2011-06-12 01:46PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> fw’s are on the way, the team is working on it
[2011-06-12 02:32PM UTC] #fw <badunch> so is the slim lite ons the same hardware as the phats?
[2011-06-12 02:32PM UTC] #fw <badunch> so by using a pcb from an older drive and flashin 0225 fw
[2011-06-12 02:36PM UTC] #fw <badunch> ???????
[2011-06-12 02:36PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> no
[2011-06-12 02:36PM UTC] #fw <President> howdy c4eva hows it going
[2011-06-12 02:38PM UTC] #fw <c4eva> hello president


[2011-06-12 01:46PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> hello
[2011-06-12 01:47PM UTC] #c4e <Barmaley> hello, have some question
[2011-06-12 01:48PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> fire away
[2011-06-12 01:52PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> this is a funny old solution
[2011-06-12 01:52PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> good for thouse who ca solder
[2011-06-12 01:53PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> but fact is these pcb,s are not going to last forever
[2011-06-12 01:53PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> and evenualy solutions like xkey might take over
[2011-06-12 01:53PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> last?
[2011-06-12 01:53PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> supply
[2011-06-12 01:54PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> xkey=banned
[2011-06-12 01:54PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> yes well this might be true
[2011-06-12 01:54PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> but playing back ups are what most want at the end of the day
[2011-06-12 01:55PM UTC] #c4e <reddeath> what im saying is there is not enough to go around
[2011-06-12 01:55PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> redeath:live is important for most as well
[2011-06-12 02:05PM UTC] #c4e <Flow> hey c4eva, do the 0401 and 0225 drives support xgd3? as they were not updated
[2011-06-12 02:06PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> flow:yes they do
[2011-06-12 02:07PM UTC] #c4e <tracer> c4eva: will be the replaced chips in 0225 detectable?
[2011-06-12 02:07PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> tracer:no
[2011-06-12 02:08PM UTC] #c4e <Rowan> c4eva does the replacement pcb write protection only work once?#
[2011-06-12 02:08PM UTC] #c4e <tracer> rowan: user is controlling it
[2011-06-12 02:08PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> rowan:no
[2011-06-12 02:08PM UTC] #c4e <loprstx> hi c4eva , you have say that most 9504 are fakes , but we that are reseller had find it on 30 usd original, maybe is more economic replace it directly that sold a new mt right?
[2011-06-12 02:09PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> loprstx:real 9504 are few, most are fake phat liteon boards inside

[2011-08-24 08:59PM UTC] #c4e <c4eva> 1.92 for all liteon slims complete, testing all good, no probs so far, soon

A reply from Admin @c4eva spoke sheds a small amount of light on the update...

The upcoming v1.92 has a very minor tweak to one of the LT+ patches which was done in order to accommodate (make space for) some small differences with the 0225u ofws. It is not a security update. This may be explained in further detail in the release notes when the time comes.

This version is planned for eventual XGD3 backup support also.
