Uscito firmware iXtreme 1.2 per lettori Thoshiba-Samsung

[D@rio]

Puntuale come un orologio svizzero, il buon C4E rilascia un aggiornamento del firmware iXtreme uscito qualche giorno fa per i lettori Toshiba-Samsung.
A detta dell'autore, tale firmware "dovrebbe" permettere di andare sul Live! con tutta sicurezza, eludento i controlli da parte di M$.

il changelog rispetto alla versione 1.0 è questo (la versione 1.1 non è stata rilasciata pubblicamente)

(v1.2) Extra verification performed on Stealth backups

Potete prelevare il nuovo firmware accedendo al server XBINS, come sempre.

La versione per Hitachi-LG è in lavorazione, ma nulla si può dire riguardo la data del rilascio.

Note: The extra features added in both 1.1(not public) and 1.2 release are directly related to security. A security-hole was found after 1.1, which lead to the jump in version numbers. We prefer to keep specific details private, but in general there is extra verfication between SS/DMI/PFI in stealth backups.

Those whom were using a TS-H943 in replacement of a original hitachi drive, and were having issues copying the key, should no longer have such issues. The included samtool has been updated to v0.7i (thanks caster420!!)

We strongly advise that you upgrade from 1.0 to 1.2 in the near future for the safety of your xblive account. Currently, 1.0 is safe, but in the future there will undoubtably be new checks that 1.2 addresses!
As always...
Use on Xbox Live at own risk!! (And please do not alter game content on xbox live, as that is the sole reason MS is motivated to ban backups on live!!!)

Also, please note that included is a version ixtr12-i.bin which is strictly for Windows/Linux testing ONLY. Do *NOT* flash the -inq version to your drive. The Hitachi Version of iXtreme is currently a Work In Progress. There is no ETA, so i would give it several weeks before any public progress report.

Here are the definitions update for iPrep to include iXtreme 1.2 (extract file to your iPrep install directory)
