April 2, 2009Xbox 360 System Update
Posted by The Ori
Major Nelson said that their team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. When you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update addresses interruption issues that some Xbox LIVE users may have experienced when playing a limited number of Xbox 360 games.
He indicated that there are no other changes or enhancements in this update.
I know, some will ask it it SAFE, but as usual, no one knows, so you take updates at your own risk. This update is MANDATORY, so you can’t use live unless you update.
lol
i didn’t get banned so i think its all good
I would like to know if anyone gets banned from this update, could they acutally be honest about what it includes this time?
if ur xbox is chipped/flashed or w.e can u do this new update
try it and find out or wait till some one says DONT DO IT dont ask
Seems ok for me, for now!
Hmm.. I’ll update later and let you guys know.
Updated no problems so far on ixtreme 1.5
Same
Same here
Stayed on after updating for about 2 hrs, used private chat, small lags occur, theres hiccups and well, no interference, the update claimed to be imo something to fix interference i guess it worked, i dont hear a static sound anymore. AS for 1.5 seems to be safe. Even after playing GOW 2
I think ill give it another day to see whats up!
all that “Fix interference” thing kinda sounds a little fishy lol
0_o i got my eye on you Nelson!
I updated and have had no probs yet..
This update stopped my Tversity media server from working – the Xbox would no longer see my PC (though the PlayOn media server continued to work as normal).
Couldn’t find a workaround at this stage, so had to remove the update to get Tversity working again.
I updated on my legit non-modded box and I used my TVersity media server to stream a movie and watched one last night. All is ok for me. Strange you had problems. Are you sure its the update or maybe you have a bad config setup.
After update my system froze with strips …. then i rebooted and now i have an error message with on red ring blinking … message states to contact support …. now iam pissed …. WTF… and whats wierd is that i modded my friends 360 with the same software that i have and i called him and he is playing fine with no problems …. why would mine glitch like that after the update and his not …. who know but i currently cant play anything right after the update …
i updated no problem…this probally wont work but have you tried removing your hdd and powering on to see if it works without the update
it wasnt fixed i was there for like a hour im going to open it up cuz its modded and i dont have warranty hopefully i can find the problem or do wat Daniel said
Sounds like your box needs an x clamp fix.
It’s not got anything to do with the new update, because mine did the same thing for a little while until I did the x clamp fix thing. It’s basically from where your console gets so hot, that it melts some connections between the GPU and the motherboard. Could also be the case warping and breaking some of those connections.
thx for the tip
Well all i can say is that my 360 stop working after the update not before not during … as soon as i updated to crashed ….
Ok i got it fixed …. i had the E74 message so i youtubed it and cleaned the CPU and iam back in service so the update didnt do it …
i updated 2 days ago, and i downloaded about 5 games and played them on my 360 after the update with no problem….
As for all the noobz that are scared to update….. i would wait another week if i was as scared as u guys are ;)
Thanks for the tip I am now reporting your IP address to the local authorities. Enjoy being buttraped in jail.
hahaha fag
YOU CANNOT GET BANNED FROM UPDATING YOUR XBOX!
so far but whose to say microsoft wont try to do it someday
uhhh no? The dashboard does not bans you, it’s microsoft’s internal ban wave that does.
Well this ‘update’ killed my 360. Now it skips the startup logo after a couple of seconds and freezes on the dashboard. I wish I never bothered now getting one now… Everytime I turn it on… I’m cringing thinking, ‘Will it work?’
Use a heatgun on your gpu and get the X-clamp replacement kit it’s like $8 on amazon.com Your 360 shouldn’t freeze after that.
I’ve arranged for M$ to collect and repair it. The console is only 6 months old.
It only started to freeze after the update; it freezes at exactly the same place every time; regardless of cold boot or warm boot. So that would indicated a f**ked firmware/update.
You can purge bad firmware updates by booting up the 360 while pressing the eject and controler sync buttons at the same time. google that for more info
Yeah; trust me I tried allsorts to get it to work again; but I had to send it away.
It’s strange coz it bottled once before after an update; but I managed to repair it by burning the NXE update to cd; I’ve got another much older console which updated fine … weird!?!
Studioeng I had a 360 that failed an update in middle of it because the dvd drive crapped out. If that wasn’t bad enough after I replaced the drive the game I used (left 4 dead) wouldn’t complete the update! I wound up lucking out by using a different game(nhl09) to finish the update. Good thing too otherwise I’d own a $300 paperweight. Best of luck hope they replace your 360 with the new valhalla board
Some people claimed that they can fix a semi bad update by using the “hold sync button on startup trick”
have you tried that?
Will the multiple updates on xbox live effect my disc drive from reading my DL games?
How the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Dashboard updates do not write to the DVD firmware…
ok i had the e74 problem after the updated but it seems like it wasnt the update i clean out the CPu and iam back in service ….
