Get your AP2.5-XGD3 backups working again after the silent D

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).


This WILL only work if they game has a TU aka Title Update.


Apparently some guy called "dattran" came up with this method.


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.
