Next 360 Beta Testing of Dashboard

[iBotPeaches]

I heard from Major Nelson's tweets about another dashboard update. Here is the website.

Then after you finish, it looks like this.

 

 

(If I get accepted, I'll release the update)

They can track every update for every console.

And Mr Slipstream is correct. They watermark all the updates, so if you were to leak it and microsoft were to come across a copy of it (which they probably pay people to try and do), they would be able to tell it was you.

 

Leaking is not advised.

If you are going to leak it.. leak it in VIP for now...

[miinaturvat]

...until we can figure out where the watermarks are and remove them

 

And this is my 666th post... does that make me blasphamic until I make another post?

[halo3]

wait isnt this from microsoft how can u get banned?

[StevenSVE♥]

This update includes the Zune software and the Twitter and Facebook apps for the 360. There may be more updates than that but I am looking forward to the Zune App

[halo3]

wait isnt this from microsoft how can u get banned?

[Decatur]

either through the watermark or;

 

They take the console ID's of the people they give the update to on a white list.If you do this update, when you access LIVE, you give the servers your IP and MAC adress and Serial ID, kernal #, dash version among other stuff (ie, if you are on an older version, when you attempt to update, thats how it knows you need to update). It stores all this data on server. For the serial ID's that AREN'T on the whitelist, they become blacklisted. This blacklist's punishment is generally a console ban. There (generally) is a yearly console banning wave in or around novemeber-december so the kids get a new one for x-mas.

[halo3]

cool so wait this is legit and okay to do this?

[halo3]

lol ok never mind about the question be4 ^^ lol

[miinaturvat]

How can one person get away with 4 spam replies?

 

How is that even possible?

 

 

Of course this is legit. It's on microsoft's web site!

 

And to answer the question you double-posted, if you had read the first post correctly, you would have noticed "(If I get accepted, I'll release the update)", which both myself and Dr Slipstream replied that you can get banned for doing.

Yay, maybe the zune software won't freeze my 360 like it freezes my Laptop (1.6ghz, OC'ed to 1.7 )

[StevenSVE♥]

also, it may include the Halo: Waypoint app. Wonder how good it'll be.

If system updates are LIVE files (I assume they are), the are signed to your console. So you could remove it, but you would never resign it lol..

[unknown v2]

I don't think there have ever been system updates signed to a specific console because when they are made, it is for mass distribution.

[iBotPeaches]

Every time one of these updates come out early for certain people, someone leaks the download and then I pop it on a flashdrive and it updates my xbox. Thats what I hope to do again.

I will be releasing videos of all the new features

weird they would select you, since you were banned from mm.

[Quinn]

I got selected for the update, just like the last time! (I'm selected for everything I sign up for )

[connorliverpool]

i have the dashboard update if any 1 wants it

[ixGAMEOVERxixx]

I've been selected as well, no update has been given yet though...

They aren't specifically assigned, there's just a white/black list system.

 

either through the watermark or;

 

They take the console ID's of the people they give the update to on a white list(that's why they ask for your console ID). If you do this update, when you access LIVE, you give the servers your IP and MAC addresses along with Console ID, kernel number, dash version among other stuff (ie, if you are on an older version, when you attempt to update, that's how it knows you need to update). It stores all this data on server. For the serial ID's that AREN'T on the white list, they become blacklisted. This blacklist's punishment is usually some kind of ban. There (generally) is a yearly console banning wave in or around November-December so the kids get a new one for x-mas.

I don't use Facebook or Twitter and I don't have a Zune this update is irrelevant to my interest's.
