hi, im sure this has been covered here but cant seem to find the thread can someone help me please.
A year or so ago i flashed my xbox. Been playing and burning games no problem until yesterday I downloaded an update.Now the xbox wont recognise any of my games. Its like its been "unflashed" if that makes any sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Michael

yes that horse has been beat to death, the new update flashes the drive back to stock, therefore you will have to get the most up-to-date firmware and reflash, you will also have to reburn any ap2.5 games you plan on playing they will need to be updated to the newest patches from abgx.

Thanks for your advice. Just out of interest is this the case with every microsoft update that it flashes the drive back? Is there not away to get online without having to download the update?

Nope. Just the last 2 I think, and I'm not even sure about the last 1. I don't think it's something that will happen often, cos it merely inconveniences modders rather than stops them and I think it was just done to add support for the new XGD3 disc type. Who knows though? We'll have to wait and see.
If you flash your own drive, the best thing to do is flash back to stock, update the dashboard, then re-flash back to LT+, although only update the dashboard once you know it's OK to do so.

Nope. Xbox Live requires that you have the latest dashboard update installed before you can play online.

You do NOT need a new xbox. Just reflash it. You always have to update the FW regardless. You can flash it with a laptop. Buy the lizard

I think he had the key on his old machine.

If retail games boot, all is needed is a redump and reflash.

I have just bought a lizard lol. Thanks very much ModKing. You just saved me a lot of money :-) Went in to town and the cheapest xbox i could find was £80 pre-owned. Seeing as ive already installed the new dashboard on my xbox. As soon as the lizard comes ill be back up and running.
Thanks guys

But I thought that once the dashboard flash to stock came down, you could no longer extract the key?
If you had the key saved before you had the new dash set to stock, you were okay.
No??

There are new ways to get the key, that was just a minor bump in the road, the bad guys prevailed once again.

i'm not sure if i overlooked something or not, did you say what kind of drive is in the machine? if it is a liteon then the lizard is all you need to get the key or benq, i'm not sure what the concern is about the flash and not being able to find the key, the new JF knows where to look for it, all you need to do is get the most recent and follow the instructions. or with scorpion same thing just follow the instructions.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to update you. Received the Lizard to day and managed to flash my drive again no problem. Has also written the drive key on the disc drive so I wont lose it. Thank you all very much
You have saved me a lot of money. I was close to buying a new x box
