RRoDs with XBox 360 · DIGIT-ARC

S

My Xbox 360 is around 2 years old.Last year around December it gave me a RRoD and stopped working unexpectedly.Again after some months I tried running it but same problem.Yesterday,to plat GTA IV

,in some hope,I switched it on and it worked!It gave an RRoD first but later workred fine!I played for about 2-3 hours and kept it on for almost 7-8 hours to see if again it shows a RRoD or not.It Didn't.Then,while playing in the evening ,in the middle of a game,i got an RRoD again!After that it worked for 2-3 hours without any problems.Is there any fix for this issue?My Xbox 360 is modded,so,can't get any help from MS

Are the new XBox 360s RRoD-Proof?Or will I have to buy a PS 3?

N

see the thing is most RROD's reported are on modded console..
Legit consoles have a very little chance of gettin RROD .i also have a NTSC console , unmodded and it was purchased when MS launhed 360.i never had a problem.

S

Where do you get NTSC game disks from?
And will I have to buy a new console?

N

region free games..
NTSC games from a frnd in US.dont have any except NFS PS

+ i have a PAL console too..that too unmodded.

S

^^
2 XBOX 360's?WOW!
In August,I'm buying a new console,which one to go for?PS 3?or XBox 360,Are they RRoD proof?I won't mod it this time

N

yea..one was gifted by dad..the other was purchased last yr when i couldnt find any ntsc game in india :lol:

Xbox 360 definitely.u will have much more fun..
i m tired of my PS3.just few good titles and all the hype.i got it after reading all the fanboy posts in every forum..now i m sick of it.only waiting for MGS 4.

u can try x-clamp fix..or send the console to lynx-india for repair.amarbir has started console repair in his shop and has some awesome tools to fix ur xbox.

How much does Xbox 360 Elite cost?

I place my Xbox 360 horizontally whereas it should be placed vertically.Might this be causing problems?I can't fix it now.All I can do is buy a new one.I rarely played on my XBox 360.It was like a piece of junk for 2 years but yesterday I played some games on it and realised that gaming on it is somewaht better than on PC!!!
I can push this one till August.Can't I?
BTW Are the new Xbox 360s RRoD-Proof?I don't wanna spend 20K or so just to see those red jalebis

Even legit Xbox 360 consoles are prone to RRODs. You can only escape a RROD if you are very lucky and take good care of your console, strictly in that order. All my friends who have a legit console have been through a couple of RRODs. I have been lucky.

Please stop this wrong news flash.....

MODDING HAS nothing to do with RROD...

Just do a google dear..read up some articles..its 360's inherent architecture failure...its overheating issue....

can u please imagine how a firmware flash can do that?? on cotrae....by firmware flash we can limit the disc spin speed and reduce the heat..u know that????

1. U can fix it...for abt 5k max...or somepeople ar doing it for 3k too...

2. If u want future proof and a good product gor for ps3.....most games are mutli platform..and the 360 exclusive ..will mostly come to PC.....so ur set

N

c'mon. the places u get a new firmware from has a million links stating the same.rrod is related to modding one way or the other.i've gone through it.any scene forums u go through will tell the same.i think thats where everything starts from and they know better.yea it occurs in legit consoles but u get a new one.ps3-future proof?how?

^^^^^

What?????.....

Show me one....They say Modding voids ur waaranty..not cause RROD...Please dude read it well...

RROD IS NOT RELATED TO MODDING.IT JUST VOIDS UR WARRANTY.

U have NOT gone through any..for sure...
I went through it a 20 times..i KNOW what i am talking...

I can quote virtually a million places that says this....

U think that wher it starts?then u need to Re-Think dear friend...

Ps3-future proof....well you can use it very well for about 5 years without any hardware issue...coz SOD issue was baout 5%..and now nil...

and check the new announcements..lots PS3 esclusives...and 360 excluisive have the chance of coming to PC...so ps3 is better future proof than X360..not mentioning M$'s startegy of bringing new SKU' with Blu-Ray... Rumour that is..but guess..how will ya feel it happend....u bought 360..a crappy one for the same money...

N

Sure.will provide the links to u. Everyone would agree that modding has a role in rrod .u read the firmware manual i think :lol:

ps3 exclusives this year-how many?2?3?ok 4? :lol:

in my opinion ps3=crappy
ps2 rules no doubt-thats what u call future proof.

^^^...

ur a being ignorant.....

Provide the links or talk to the hand fella...

Ps3 is crappy...and 360 is great....well clearly u cannot be sane..and in that case....

I say ur 100% right..ok....

For others please go through for the "4" exclusive PS3 list

*boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=pslounge&thread.id=267865

Huh:

No one but u agree that moddin is in hand with RROD.....please say why do legit ones RROd.... i dont read the firmware manual.....

Ps3..exclusive..use GOOGLE......

Ps3 crappy..and then 360 atleast good....

ya u need medical help...pronto....

And thats not the flash u talking about.its dvd flash.problem with firmware flash.what the hell do u think is that ? if u still have doubts pm the guy who wrote this article on that page.Its Not Bricking Due To MS update.or it might be that the guy who wrote that RRod thread is a retard who cant distinguish RROD and Bricking :lol:

MS have a 33%..failure rate...check..with M$ itself....

Those are RROD codes alright..it happened due to bricked firmware....that one code can ONLY happen if u r careless during falshing..its what we call a bricked drive....

The main codes for RROD are more than 90% RROD are OVERHEATING..... its that 0020 os somethings like that....

I dont need to PM him....coz i have PMed Textbook himself.....

DRIVE DOES BRICK TO MS UPDATE AFTER HACKED FIRMWARE FLASH...FYI....

RROD in general is a alert mechanism.....only the correct code means what happened...

90% of the times ITS over heating....

sorry to burst ur bubble....

N

There r 2 codes given for dvd drives.bricking is nowhere here man..assuming that one of them is bricking,what do u conclude of the other?

Edit-those RROD codes are cured by those hardware fixes.if it were bricking he'd have mentioned it when if mentioned all possible methods to revive a console that got any RROD code that he mentioned.

Dude let me get this straight..clearly u dont have much knowledge in this...Please atleast read the entire RROD issue from several places and then post..will ya..it would be simple....

1.Learn what RROD is
2.ROD Codes...
3.Common RODs....

I have no idea what u pasted..so i cant answer it.....

Please do thinkwhat ur arguing about and what ur posting..they are all different things....

Modding is in no way causes rrod..only when u play all those pirated discs and the thing overheats....and please dont even think of starting on PS3 being crappy...Please

N

i'll pm u the link when i turn on my pc.read it.its an exclusive RROD thread and its cure.i'm not talking about PS3 's build being crappy but exclusive games are very few.its a mere blu ray player.thats what i use it for besides playing uncharted.x360 is more vfm for now and for this year.half of 2008 is over and i'm yet to get games in stores in chandigarh that are exclusive for PS3

No need of PM yaar..i know exactly what i am talking about.....

Modding is not the REASON FOR RROD..get your facts straight.......

Games not getting to chadigarh is not the fault of sony.....India is not a destination for them maybe....

besides ..u should really check out the ps3 scene nowadays....Uncharted is not alone....

S

STFU!and tell me what is causing my XBox 360 to give RRoDs?Hardware,Firmware or heating issue?I know this issue has not been sorted out by MS!
I am buying a PS 3 in August.My Xbox 360 is Fugged up!

^^^

GTFO...or be nice u fool.....no ones talkin to you....

UR the OT..read both of our points.....if u cant get it..u wont....

H/w and heating is the issue....This have been sorted by M$.....

Buy ps3 in auguts...buy the MGS4 bundle foo...

S

^^
Really?Has the RRoD thing been sorted out my MS?I ma buying a PS 3 only because of the RRoD thing in Xbox 360.If it has been sorted out then why buy the PS 3?

^^....Arre yaar...

Listen...

They are releasing their new architecture jasper..in coming 2 or 3 months.....Its said that it will stop overheating..falcon did that too but not fully....they intend to bring the failure rate to below 10%.....ffrom current 33%.....but god knows when and will be jasper released in india by MS.....so there....

If u wanna buy ps3..let me not be the one to stop you go ahead..as i said ps3 exclusives are great and 360 exclusives may be released for pc..so that u can enjoy it ther...and other blockbusters being multi platform....

buy ps3 if u want hazzle free gaming without being paranoid about ventilation..region free or region lock things like that,,,,

S

Report cites 10% of all 360 failures due to RROD
Posted Feb 27th 2008 10:30AM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News

Earlier this month, we mentioned that the total Xbox 360 failure rate was found to be somewhere around 16% and now new details from warranty testing firm SquareTrade is telling us just how many were the result of the dreaded RROD.

SquareTrade released a report today detailing their warranty tests and out of the 16% failed 360 total, roughly 10% of them were due to RROD general hardware failures. The other 6% were attributed to things like disc read errors, hard drive freezes and disc tray malfunctions all of which would not be covered under Micrsoft's extended warranty. SquareTrade also mentioned that due to the Elite and Core test subjects not having enough warranty claims, they removed them from their statistical analysis and based their numbers on the more problematic Pro SKUs.

We're not certain if this is good or bad news seeing that SquareTrade still found 16% of all Xbox 360s to be problematic, it's just only 10% of them red ring. Nothing to get excited over, it's still way too high of a failure rate and way too many headaches to deal with. Fly Falcon fly and send us our RROD relief!

U need to read it completely..and just Pm the writer will ya.....

A bad DVD flash will lead to 360 not reading the proper firmware from the drive...which is a error and will lead to RROD.....or bricking..wich can be restored to orginal...if u dont know..i did this first time...

This happens to only some...

The major issue the ones poeple are REALLY worried about RROD is Overheating..

get that into ur thick cranium...
