05/08/2011 - LT+ v1.91 Released
C4E's iXtreme LT+ v1.91 FULL firmware pack released

C4E released the iXtreme LT+ v1.91 CFW in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter:

You should have the latest dashboard (2.0.3599.0) if you are using these firmware versions. Of course if you are updating then you should revert to stock first. Remember that 9504/0272 drives become locked when you update to the latest dashboard so you require a Sputnik Switch or Probe (MXIC) or the Winbond Kamikaze hack if you want to flash your drives. Naturally you can also use the Xecuter DG-16D4S Unlocked PCB and the Xecuter Unlocked Pro Kit also.

Official release of the iXtreme LT+ v1.91

-Lite-on Slim 0272, 0225, 0225u, 0401
-Lite-on Phat 02510C
-Benq 04421C
-Hitachi 78/79

* New random AP26 challenges defeated. Due to the new AP26 random challenges the safety freeze for unknown or bad AP25 data is no longer supported.

Please ensure your AP25 data is correct for the dashboard version you are using.

* No need to reburn current AP25 backups from dashboard 13146

I would like to dedicate this fw to all the dead DG-16D4S drives from the kamikaze hack

Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.
Thanks also go to Team Xecuter for their support to this project.

28/07/2011 - LT+ v1.91 (LiteON/BenQ/Slim)
New bug free & AP2.5 & AP2.6 compatible - no need to reburn backups!!!

Great news from Team Jungle & c4e...not long now! Any previous customers, drop us a line & see if we can work out reflashing details. They said it was a busy summer ahead...they ain't lyin'!

22/07/2011 - Dashboard 2.0.13599.0 - Further Info
Do NOT UPDATE with a modified drive - best advice is to flash to stock first

So we've got some further info on the latest dashboard update rolled out on the 18/19th July 2011. First & major bit of advice - as always with updates - we & experts advise, ONLY UPDATE ON STOCK FIRMWARE CONFIGURATION. If you update on a modified firmware you risk being flagged/banned.

The most detailed thread of info is here: http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67765

19/07/2011 - Dashboard Update: 2.0.13599.0 - New AP2.5 Challenges
Early doors - but looks like new AP2.5 challenge data

Another month, and another mandatory dashboard update (2.0.13599.0). Looks like this one isn't AS major as the May 19th-30th 2011 update, but it does (from early reports) appear that AP2.5 data has been updated by Microsoft again. This affects the six titles listed below. Best advice - don't update if you can help it, for now!

17/07/2011 - New LT+ v1.9 for Slim 0272, 0225 & 0401 - Not Long Now!
New LT+ v1.9 firmware for Slim LiteON - thanks to c4e & TX & Team Jungle

Right - this is very welcome news indeed. c4e, Team Xecuter & Team Jungle have clearly been working very, very hard over the last few weeks & months - and one of the biggest releases is going to be the LT+ v1.9 firmware for Slim LiteON DVD Drives (0272 - formerly 9504 pre-13146 dashboard - 0225 & 0401). Keep an eye on our Xbox 360 Flashing page for the release of this & the service we will be offering - including custom chip installation & write enable/disable mod.

16/06/2011 - ABGX - New AP2.5 replay data for 2.0.13146.0
AP2.5 titles will need to be repatched & reburnt to boot on latest dashboard...

The latest Xbox 360 Dashboard update rolled out between 19.05.2011 & 30.05.2011 updated the AP2.5 replay data, so AP2.5 titles patched with previous to this dashboard, will no longer load. As long as you have the latest ABGX 1.0.5 your ISO file will be patched automatically with the correct data - but you will need to reburn your titles.
