    quick question re console and older 'AP25' games...

    Guys can someone please offer some advice and apols if I'm droning on but I want to explain what's happened in the hope someone can help.

    My console had the LT+ 1.6x firmware on it that I got flashed to let me play the then new 'AP25' games that were released. On Saturday my son accidently went to sign in to XBOX live without thinking during a game of single player COD MW2 and was instantly prompted to download an update before he could sign in. I was watching him and told him not to sign in and I immediately turned the console off as I'd read not to as the latest dashboard update would flash the firmware back to stock. Later in the day I went to play a game and noticed that the console would no longer play any 'backups' and also the Kinect wouldn't turn on with the light staying red and continually prompting me to install a new system update. I also noticed that I was no longer able to play any type of movie files on the console. I'm not sure how this happened as I know he didn't sign in to Live and I turned the console off as soon as I saw what he was doing and he never accepted the system update that he was prompted to. I just thought 'sod it' and applied the system update as I could no longer get any use out of the console. I downloaded the new system update and I can now play movies and the Kinect now works so I just need to get it re-flashed to LT+ 2.0 so I can play my 'backups' again.

    If I now flash my console to the latest LT+ 2.0 firmware, do I then NEED to re-run all the older games that were 'AP25' games (Need For Speed, Call Of Duty MW2, Black Ops etc) through ABGX again and then re-burn them again for them to work?

    Also should I expect to get banned from live due to downloading the system update through live on a console that had LT+ 1.6x installed on it or is there really no 100% way of knowing?

    Cheers

    Depends on what dashboard you were on before. I would personally make sure your on latest dashboard, bin the ap2.5 titles you have and reburn them after you run through ABGX

    COD MW2
    COD BO
    NFS Hot Pursui
    Halo Reach
    Fable 3
    Assissns Creed Brotherhood are the titles

      Thanks Cunny.

      I'm not sure what to do now about paying to get the LT+ 2.0 firmware installed as I've just read that Microsoft are releasing yet another new dashboard update in a month's time.

      Rumor: Xbox Dashboard update coming Nov. 15? - Neowin.net

      Is it safe to say that when this next dashboard update hits that the console will be flashed back to stock? Only asking as I may hold on getting it flashed until after the next update etc.

        Not sure, the reason drives were flashed was for new disc format support. So as your after that then maybe, maybe not, cant say.

        Its recomended you return to stock before taking any update anyway
