First and foremost, a warning — at this current time it is advised that you stay offline and avoid playing any AP2.5/XGD3 backups. It has been confirmed by the team that the dae.bin is now being silently updated on all LIVE-connected boxes.
This update is not being deployed via a SystemUpdate or TitleUpdate, but rather occurs in the background without any visual indication or prompt to the user. As such, there is no means by which it can be cancelled or avoided, other than not connecting to LIVE. If you've connected to LIVE in the past 24 hours, your system has likely already been updated with a changed dae.bin.
All AP2.5/XGD3 backups that contain the now older AP25 replay data will fail the system's AP2.5 challenges and indeed flag your system (the flagging has also been confirmed by the team).
Like our news a few days ago, the dae.bin is now being changed by way of an appended challenge table in the same manner on current retail dashes (13604) as it is on the preview dash (14686), however the content of the challenge tables differ. The team has determined that the appended challenge table appears to be unique per console and contains indentifying information. This means that everyone's dae.bin is different, and can potentially be traced back to your specific console. Therefore, sharing your dae.bin with others is not advisable.
More info to come.
This literally posted as i just found out. Bummer. Banhammer here i come. Tried NFS the RUN no boot. Xva'd and failed ap2.5 challenge. Sneaky sneaky MS. Unless they are doing this just stop the games from being played as their banhammer has been bad press in the past
s**t. s**t. s**t. s**t.
So ur saying we r/ will be getting banned soon??
This means we're all basicalli f***ed!
dont be such a dips**t – how can you possibly be "f**ked"
grow up you f**king dumb redneck and either buy your games or glitch your console. Only the weak and retarded are "f**ked"
Well I bet the old Hitachi drives will be safe when 2.0 comes out
I bet he'll delay working on them for another eight months now.
ah finally they figured it out. so if you can't dump your own nand you will not be able to reburn your discs properly. even if you can, they can still scramble you everyday if they wanted. that is why some people can still play some games, their dae.bin just happened to stay the same for some games and not for other games.
So ur saying we r/will be getting banned soon??
What if I have a legit copy of MW3 but a modded console with LT2.0? Is that safe to play or do I have to flash back to stock? Just asking because flashing back to stock cost money because I have to go back to my go-to guy
You can play Original Xbox360 games as well as old non XGD3 backups with this "new" bann, You dont have to go back to the stock FW.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with older drives, samsung and older hitachi, that do not support ap2.5, this should not be an issue, correct?
I am curious about this also as an Sammy ms25 owner. Since Sammy's do not have AP2.5 checks does this mean the dae.bin updates are not an issue?
it will not affect u i played mw3 yesterday at around 12hours ago and it worked fine
I think Live update silently and changed Dae.bin is started from the 13604 dash update, they silently install the changed dae.bin to hit the console today. Before I update to dash 13604, my Xval still clean, after update to 13604, i never connect to xboxlive until today, but my Xval now have AP25 challenges failed.
