What is iXtreme Firmware?
To those who have no idea what this whole iXtreme and Flashing thing is. iXtreme Firmware is for flashing the Xbox 360 DVD Drive. The purpose of flashing the drive is to allow Backups to be played. Backup is a duplicate copy of an Xbox 360 game. They are burned on Dual Layer DVD's, which requires the use of a Dual Layer Burner as well....With the latest iXtreme Firmware, currently LT+ for the LiteOn, Benq (and Hitachi) and LT for Samsung drives, all backups are required to be stealth-patched. There is no longer any need to use an activation disc as the new firmware can read all waves with ease. Stealth Firmware in short, tricks the console into thinking the game is a real official copy, and thus, will allow you to play the game. Now there is risk involved when flashing your drive.
What is the latest iXtreme?
LT 1.0 for Samsung MS25/MS28 (FAT) LT+ 1.1 for Lite-on 74850C/83450C/93450C (FAT) LT+ 1.1 for all Hitachi revisions and BenQ (FAT) LT+ for slim Lite-on 9504 LT+ for slim Lite-on 0225 (coming soon - No ETA) LT+ for slim Hitachi 0500 (coming soon - No ETA) C4E's iXtreme LT+ for LiteOn and BenQ Official release of C4E's iXtreme LT+ - Supports Benq and Liteon Drives (74850, 83850V1, 83850V2, 93450) - Optimized PFI code to accommodate AP25 SS data - Defeats current AP25 protection - Protects console from logging AP25 violation - Full disc stealth used by default - Waveless booting, disc images are assumed to be correct! - Split-Vid used as default If booting an AP25 title without AP25 SS game will not boot but will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0 If LT+ encounters an unknown AP25 challenge, game will not boot but console will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0 AP25 SS are region specific for region locked games (Current Example NFS: Hot Pursuit is both PAL and NTSC - 2 different AP25 Patches) If you boot the AP25 titles without LT+ you will probably be flagged for a ban. You cannot spoof a different model drive as that can now be detected. With this release of LT+ you HAVE to have an original Benq or Liteon. LT+ for slim 9504 is next followed by LT+ for slim 0225 Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process. Thanks go to Team Xecuter for their generous support and input to this project.
How do i know what drive i have on my Xbox 360?
NOTE: LITEON DRIVE TRAY LOOKS THE SAME AS BENQ. Remove your faceplate. There is a hole right below the “XBOX 360″ text on your dvd bezel. Use a flash light and if you see white wires then you have a BenQ. If you see yellow wires you have a Lite-on...See image below.
Will I need a new firmware to play Wave 4 games?
IF you are on iXtreme 1.5 or below, Wave3 games will not boot for you and thus Wave4 games will not either. In this case, YES you need to update your firmware! IF you are on iXtreme 1.51, then ANY wave will boot fine, including Wave4 however you must be EXTRA careful, as you are not protected against corrupt, or incorrect video partitions. This is one of the many reasons to always use abgx360. If a game is fully verified, playing it on iXtreme 1.51 is just as safe as playing it on iXtreme 1.6 - this includes Wave4 games. IF you are on iXtreme 1.6, you can ALSO play Wave 4 and above games, however you need to use a special activation disk to do so.
How do I use Activate.iso and what does it do?
IF you are on iXtreme 1.6, you can ALSO play Wave 4 and above games, however you need to use a special activation disk to do so. This was added to the firmware specifically for this eventuality - the disk activates "one-shot-boot" mode, essentially it allows iX1.6 to boot any game you insert into the drive, even if its not properly stealthed. You simply insert the disk into the drive, let it spin up (it will say "play DVD"), then swap in your Wave4 game..... You will need to do this each time you want to play a Wave 4 (or above) game..... Don't worry, if the game has all the necessary stealth data, then iX1.6 will still use it, so if you boot a VERIFIED Wave4 game using this method, you should be just as safe as you were booting a verified wave 3 game. Activate.iso needs to be burned to a DUAL LAYER disc, but entirely on the first layer (do not set a layerbreak and when imgburn prompts, tell it to burn to the first layer only). Hers is a simple guide for burning Activate.iso on DUAL LAYER. 1. http://www.imgburn.com/ (Leave the default settings untouched or restore to factory defaults). 2. Right-click Activate.iso and then select "Burn using ImgBurn". 3. Click the Write button at the bottom left. 4. Proceed/continue with burning the image onto an 8.5GB DVD+R DL. 5. Sway from the norm and burn only on 1 layer. 6. When the disc has been written and then ready to finalize, let it finalize throughout the entire process. This is going to take a while... 7. Put the burnt disc into 360, press A on controller to Play DVD. Eject disc and then put in a Wave 4 game , or a non-stealthed game. Press A again to launch game. Note: If you get stuck at 99% during finalization, it is normal. Your burner is burning data onto every single empty sector of your DVD+R DL disc.

How do I make sure my downloaded games are safe from errors and stealth patched properly?
Download ABGX . ABGX will verify that your iso is good to be burned and if it isn't it will correct the errors for you. Make sure when you use you want AUTOFIX to be at level 3.
If you are looking for modification then these services are available in Pakistan...
