Get your AP2.5/XGD3 backups working again after the silent DAE update.

[R3D]

The recent silent DAE update stopped all AP2.5 / XGD3 backups from booting. Until a solid solution is released, here is a simple workaround that Ubergeek over at TX forums and some of the guys on IRC have tried and confirmed working. They said it seems to work very well. (I don't take ANY credit for this what so ever, Ubergeek originally posted it and stated it was mentioned by a few guys on IRC, however he did clean the steps up to make it more clear)

Apparently some guy called "dattran" came up with this method but it is unknown who the guy is or where it was posted


FULL CREDIT to Ubergeek, here is his tut:

For this example we are going to use MW3.

1. Get a USB flash drive, At least 1GB in size and format it (FAT)

2. Insert into Xbox and goto memory devices. Select USB and configure it as a storage device.

3. Download this MW3 Title Update. Click here.

4. Download Horizon (Great game modding app btw - JTAG / Glitchers should be using the shit out of this - you can use other apps but this is my tool of choice). Click here

5. Select Tools > Device Explorer

6. Plug in USB device to PC

7. Device will be detected. Select Inject File

8. Load the the MW3 TU that you downloaded.

9. Connect the USB stick to your Xbox. Restart and boot your MW3 backup.

Notes: You may have to delete the system cache after every time you do a fresh boot of the game. But hey, it works.

You can get other title updates from here: http://www.xbuc.net

Nothing is ever live safe. It may work, it may not. I'm not your mom make your own choice.

Please report if you have any success / links to TU's / better methods.



Sharing is caring folks! Enjoy!

Yes, but really if you have the new DAE.bin file you should be playing offline anyway for the time being. Thanks btw worked for me
