I purchased a new XBox 360 3 weeks ago and immediately took it to a pro who flashed the Lite-on drive to iextreme 1.51. I've burned about a dozen games using imgburn with no problem - plays fine. Always use abgx360 (1.0.1) to verify, and correct if necessary. However, the 3rd wave games H.A.W.K.S. and Stormrise will not boot. They pass verification and I'm using Verbatim disks (just like with the other games that do boot.) Is anyone else having problems booting 3rd wave with 1.51, or am I doing something wrong? Appreciate some help

I've made several backup games with wave 3, box has Ixtreme 1.51 it plays flawless...I think the "Pro" only modded you to 1.5 or lesser.

How about your others games that aren't on the 3rd wave list, do they work?
Are you getting "Open Tray" or "Play DVD" ?
Possibly could have been flashed with ix1.5.

i would take it back to the guy and ask him to put in a wave 3 game and then ask him why it doesnt work. and then expect him to reflash for free to correct his mistake.
If you send me questions on Live about modding or anything related i will block you. Dont be an idiot.

agreed. do you happen to know someone else with a flashed box that has working wave 3 just to be 100% sure? if you do and it works for them but not you I'd say the "pro" messed it up.

Thanks for your replies. Since I'm receiving a VIA6421 card soon, the forum indicates I can see and dump the firmware from the drive with Jungleflasher without needing a probe. If it's not 1.51, I'll contact the "pro" and let him know his mistake - since he advertised on Craigslist and has a website, both emphasizing "update to 1.51", I can't think of a reason he'd mess up.
Actually the reason I'm getting the VIA card is so I can reflash in the future myself.
Again, thanks for your replies.

Listen guys, iextreme 1.51 does work with Wave 3 games, i had that
problem to, you do not have to coneect to Microsoft, here is how i got around it.
use magic iso to open iso files, open the iso of the game, you should see, $system update on the disc.
open your 360 disc tray, leave it open, now turn it off, put game disc in tray, now turn on your 360, the Microsoft update screen will pop up, press update now, follow the instructions, and DO NOT TURN OF YOR 360. it will update, now you can play H.A,W.X, Wanted: weapons of fate, plus the 20 some odd New Wave 3 games, the update will give you a new dashboard similar to the Wii.
note: update only if you have a hard drive and ixtreme 1.51

umm dude 1.51 will play wave 3 without doing all that. the entire reason 1.51 was created was to play wave 3 games... so you are either confused or doing a lot of work for no reason

have you tried calling 1.800.4MY.XBOX for some tech support? they'll probably be able to walk you through it.

You may be right, but none of my wave 3 games played until i did that, updated my dash, all of my game rips played, except the wave 3 games, and i did nothing different.
i looked on various forums, and i see others have the same problem,
not all situations are the same, there are exceptions, i knew the 1.51 would work, but it didn't,even within this forum, that issue is present.
Man i'm not dissing you, not at all, but i know updating corrected my problem, just looking at the page here, you'll see Arnold88 has the same problem, along with many others, so the problem in there,
maybe it's a drive issuse,i have a BenQ, many be Samsung or Lite-on is different, i can't relly say.
i simply know what corrected my problem

Yeah, i dont know if you do not know this, but when you turn off your 360 it automatically closes the tray. The reason 1.51 was released is to boot 3rd wave games, 3rd wave games should work if you installed 1.51 properly

It's not a drive thing I have a BenQ myself and no problems. As far as I understood you you simply didn't have the NXE update before and didn't accept the update when the game asked you to. Then you did a lot of technical nonsense you didn't have to do if you had simply accepted the NXE update in the first place.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Yea NXE update is all it was. Update from disc or xbox live would have fixed it with much less hassle.

I believe the new dashboard is already installed. My version is 2.0.7371.0, which is the latest according to Wikipedia. 'Tried the insert disk, turn off console, boot back up, but nothing new installed. It just froze at the 360 logo. Although I have a Via card and Jungleflasher ready to go, I'm waiting for ixtreme 1.6 to see if that makes a difference. So far, wave 3 not working.

Are you saying you havent flashed yet and are wondering why backups dont work??
or are you saying not even retail wave 3 will work?
also how did you get the version of the dash you currently have? were you one of those people that installed the NXE early before it was released?

he got someone to flash it according to OP. if you have the via card now you should try to dump and verify you actually have 1.51 and not 1.5 on the drive.

sorry but there is no ixtreme 1.55b. you are referring to jungleflasher, which is a program for flashing not a firmware.

however my friend, having also used v1.55b got the prompt directing him towards an update online and he declined the offer. Then, of course, my other friend was prompted to update before playing his game would be possible and the "update" was accessed directly from the disc after having accepted the offer without having to go online. Metallica GH worked flawlessly. On a side note, has anyone had success in ripping a 3rd wave retail disc? Wxripper v1.2.0.42 had never failed using the magic number method, however FallowtIII's been a bitch. Advice, please.

that update on the disk is exactly what wave 3 is all about and has nothing to do with ixtreme or jungleflasher 1.55b also fallout is not a wave 3 game. try a different movie maybe.

I stand corrected. In fact the v1.55b suffix would apply to jungleflasher. I do mantain however, that 360bakups do work on systems having used jungleflasher v1.55b to "flash" the iextreme v1.51 firmware.
