I concur with peluynati, from what we know, pre-hitachi 78/79 models aren't capable of performing AP checks...and to date, 78/79 models haven't been affected either. However, we must roll the dice because Microsoft may employ new security measures at any moment. Aside from the wait for the new firmware, hitachi users have been pretty blessed.
"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."

Seriously dude? You're asking the "safe" question?
You are getting firmware from C4E.
If he releases it, then it's as safe as you're gonna get for the time being.
I'm pretty sure you used his LT+1.9, his LT+1.1, his LT+1.0, his iX1.61, his iX1.6, his iX1.51, his iX1.5, etc, etc, etc.
It's the same deal:
Use his firmware and check AD before updating.

Well when I say safe, I mean as safe as can be and not going to have the hassle of that silent update that occurred the other day and screwing all the xgd3 games.

c4e doesnt know any more than you or me if M$ is gonna continue silent updates, but they probably will. Only M$ knows what M$ will do. That's the boat that we're all in now. When c4e's firmware is released, it's always "safe as can be" (if you follow the rules).

My stance has always been, no custom firmware is safe, ever. Personally, I've always had two XBoxs, one modded for offline play and one unmodded for the couple online games that I play off original discs.

It's not really a problem for me as I also got an unmodified Xbox for online but my son has a Hitachi and like's to go on line but he's not very good at keeping the discs from getting scratched, so no originals for him, boys being boys. It's just a hassle if the m$ update is going to affect the games I've backed up for him and then I got to get him another Xbox.
I realise that m$ can update at anytime and that's the risk we all take.
