you will most likely have to use the bad flash method to update to 5.3...this is because 5.2 put firmguard on your Drive...

Says that all Drives are okay and safe to go and update no matter what firmware you have...Front page news

so the way to update for ms28 is make x53b out of original and then flash it using mtkflash commands and ten second wait right? im updating from 52 to 53!

On the new bootmaker i think it uses xread and xflash.
Personally i dont use these and just type the mtk flash command.

so what you use the old boot maker with the the fix to load the 5.3 firmware... i think the older version is 0.5 RC1? bootmaker right? and then when you boot to DOS you type samhack?

I have ms25, not been on here for ages, in fact i havent been on the xbox for ages (my bro is the one who lives on Live!). Currently were running 5.2a, done my research and found out there was a 5.3 AND why it was made. Then i find out the update is fine to install anyway.
Well since my bro has been online today, i must presume he just downloaded the update and its working fine. However should i be worried Microsoft may just be waiting to collect enough systems and then do a massive cut off? Should i update to 5.3 or should i just ignore it and carry on?
Thanks

I use xbm version 0.3.6 to create my boot disk. i create my firmware in the firmwate package itself ( the make xtreme firmware batchfile)
Once my xtreme firmware is made(X53C) i open that up in 360 toolbox to make sure the key is correct.
i then place that file onto my pre made boot disk, boot to dos and then all i do is type mtkflash w /m /sata X53C.bin
this then gives me the option of my drives, i turn my box off, select my drive, turn my box on after 10 seconds and it starts flashing.
@yoclick
it may be wise to update to 5.3 just for the added feature of disc jitter which will apparantly help to prevent them from detecting your back up :-)

Wow, that's the same way I do it everytime ;)
except that I use xtreme 5.3 A
I updated this morning before I left for work.. around 5:20 am EST or something and downloaded Double Dragon. I'll play that now.

because it has another security feature (disc-jatter) and last time they banned everything worked fine after the update until day 2 or 3 when they began banning!

Has the extra Disc-Jitter check been implemented in the spring update?? I was under the impression it was speculation that it MAY or MAY NOT be.

I am new to your site here (hello) and need a little bit of advice.
Now I know this is going to sound very vaqgue and probably annoy most of you but here we go.
I have my xbox 360 flashed and have been told NOT to download the new update.
I need to know how I can find out what type my xbox drive is etc to get a bit more info so I've got a heads up onthis mass impending banning session, Microsoft are planning.
Any help would be useful - Thanks in advance

you will have to ask who ever flashed your drive what firmware they put on it.
You can just eject your drive to see if its a Hitachi or a samsung drive but there are different models of each one.
this will show a pic of the hitachi or samsung

best advice is to ask whoever flashed it for you. they should have given you the original firmware too.
