Xbox 360 Slim FW In Testing! Finally progress seems to be being made with the Xbox 360 slim drives as LT+3.0 for slims goes into testing this is great news for slim owners Info also added to the OP.
Xbox 360 Slim FW Released! Finally LT+ 3.0 comes to slim xbox consoles along with a new JungleFlasher to accommodate it Dives covered in this update Lite-On 9504/0272, 0225, 0401, 1071 DG-16D4S. This version adds support for topology data in place of AP2.5 replay data for all XGD3 and AP2.5-active XGD2 backups. *NOTE: For drives that support AP2.5, all backups containing AP2.5 replay data will need to be patched or re-dumped and re-burned for compatibility with v3.0. iXtreme LT+ v3.0 for Lite-On Slim retains support for the use of truncated backups, although it it strongly recommended to use full XGD3 burns made with a compatible Lite-On iHAS drive flashed with the iXtreme Burner MAX fw. In LT+ v3.0, backups remain the same layout, but require new "AP2.5 topology data" in place of the older "AP2.5 replay sector" that was used in LT+ v2.x and older. Burned backups made for v2.x will not work on v3.0, and vice-versa. In the case of v3.0, the firmware would be looking for nonexistent topology data on a backup burned for v2.x. For v2.x, the firmware would be looking for nonexistent AP25 replay data on a backup burned for v3.0. Either way will not work, and will flag your 360 by failing AP2.5 challenges outright.

Cheers mate I do my best but it would be allot harder if not for all the help from the other members who have also posted updates and such. To all those who have lent a hand in keeping this thread up to date, I salute you.
finally a 1071 release. I was stuck with no way to get the drive key for my brothers xk3y. thanks you guys.
Lol nice one mate I hope you get it sorted A little tip as some people have had problems with their slim reading games after flashing 3.0 when flashing LT+ 3.0 it has been known to work much better if you disconnect the ribbon cables whilst flashing.
yeah i have the problem too,,so im gonna reflash it again without ribboncables..thank you for the tip always appreciate it.
Yeah mate its worth trying a nother member had the same problems recently with their slim they flashed to LT+ 3.0 and the drive wouldn't read, they then flashed to stock and it was working fine so they removed the ribbon cable and re flashed with 3.0 and all went well I have also had the same problem with my own drives as well as a few friends (Phat Consoles) but once I flashed with the ribbon cable removed I have had no problems. Hope it helps mate.
