Hey Guys, I'm really happy with my xbox atm with 1.41 iextreme firmware but with the wave3 and the new games arriving, I think I will need to update it. I dont want to patch the games to make it work as I dont want to be banned. Should I go back to original firmware before updating to 1.51 or is it safe to update from iextreme 1.41 ? Which tool should I use ? I'd prefer to stick to dosflash than jungleflasher (well would prefer not to have to use windows) Thanks

I'd always return back to the original firmware before updating to another firmware. IMO, just makes things a little safer and a little less confusing should anything go wrong Never used Dosflash but I know jungleflasher will force you to return to the original. JF is pretty simple to use as well, presuming windows doesn't throw a fit.

hehe, no problem. I'm bored at work I must admit, I don't like jungleflash (due to it being qwirky) but for some reason, my PC hates any other method. Dosflash just won't work. I presume its a hardware issue somewhere. JF has a habit of hanging my PC but in the end always works.

I went directly from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 (Benq) using iPrep/dosflash... I was using an x64 OS at the time so I couldn't use Jungleflasher. asus z170-A \|\| core i5-6600K \|\| geforce gtx 970 4gb \|\| 16gb ddr4 ram \|\| win10 \|\| 1080p led samsung 27"

Was there any reason why you only wanted to go to 1.51? 1.60 is out and offers more features, whilst also adding tighter security in the hopes of preventing XBL bans due to bad backups.

We flashed 2 xbox with my friend, and we had strange issues with the 1.6 repack firmware (burned dvd game note being detected but ok with abgx360) it was working with 1.5.1 so I stayed with this one
