I already tried that. If you update to the new dash and then reflash it still won't work because it has new firmware on it. The new dash is beta anyways so I would have fun with the slims being modded and wait for an official release of it. It's not necessary to have at this time.
When I did mine it forced me to do it because I signed up for the beta and actually got it so if I didn't update it worked just like a real one and disconnected me from live.
Oh well, at least I'll get another copy of Reach in the XGD3 format.
but your retail disc's still work
Ya I'm installing the goty edition Borderlands right now.

just wait for another JF to come out after C4eva has discovered how to revert it back to original stock and there will be a method that will allow you to flash back to 9504/0225/0500 FW

I'm sure he will figure it out. I wanna know how people are flashing them to LT+ even though the firmware has been change to 0272... I still have my OFW saved so if anyone knows how to do it, I'd like to check it out and see if it's possible.

Few thoughts here,
Has anyone tried to read the drive after flashing the 9504?
Could you update the dash without the dvd drive plugged in, then flash? (prolly would flag you)

I tried to read the drive thinking I could just reflash it and it was a no go. It said it was an unknown firmware so unless I did something wrong I don't think you can reflash the 9504.
Not sure about the second question. Probably would flag you.

I was able to get my hands on the beta today. From What I know, it won't update if you don't have the original drive. I tried with diffrent xbox's and diffrent drives.
Once you use the original drive it flashes a firmware with all 0's. I was able to re-flash the drive( I save all my firmwares) and all my games worked except for the one's with AP 2.5 patch
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
Fable III
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Halo Reach
Black Ops
Modern Warfare 2
I get Nothing but a black screen.
unfortunately All my boxes all have Benq drives so I can't tell you if a mra hack can dump the true firmware on a Lite-On.
I will try to perform a mra hack on the benq today to see if it gives me the true firmware. I will keep you updated.
Later.

Well, the new disc would have to have the new dash on it (need the update for those who don't use LIVE), and the new dash has the drive firmware update.
So yes the new discs would have the new firmware.

I got my copy of Reach in the XGD3 format just now with fedex. My grandson is the gamer here and will not be back till the weekend.
You did not say if your other disks still work or not. The letter that came with my new reach disk says to let them know if or if not they work with the new update. I will likely just use the disk and update to see. I hope they work from get go but if not then ms needs to be informed.
My grandson will be mad if they don't cause I will not let him go online on our flashed 360. And the flashed 360 will not be the one updated with this new dashboard. He mostly plays black ops and reach anyway. If for some reason original format not working yet he will just have to play reach only until they do.

Well I got the update through xbox live. It forced me to update or signed me out of live (I signed up for the beta). I hope I get the disc, I'm not home to check, but I would like to see what's on it. I hope c4eva comes out with a solution. It's really interesting that they are gonna flash the drive from an update. It doesn't surprise me though since you can do it on a computer or even blu-ray players.
This also means that new 360s that come out will probably have a new drive in them with the updated firmware. It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft does.

According to this post, all slim drives and BenQ drives seem to get flashed. If BenQ drives are flashed, I would imagine fat liteon drives will as well.
Are consoles without AP 2.5 capabilities safe (Samsung and early Hitachi's)?

Looks like I am extracting all my keys, sving them in two places, returning my non Hitachi and non Sammy drives to stock, and only using older model consoles until this is figured out ;)

rock n roll..thx jpizzle
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

Anyone noticed any difference in the dashboard? Only thing I see different is the group of beta info icons. But the only thing I have really done is make sure netflix still works and our original disks still work.

Microsoft's method is making a file called $flashoddupd1.zed with a 256 byte flash exe and a 256 byte bin fil contained in each zed, there signed this is no blessing in anyway, we CANNOT include our own firmware, the files are signed
