Today, Microsoft began rolling out SystemUpdate v2.0.14692.0 to all Xbox 360′s registered in the Fall 2011 Dash Preview program. Although the dae.bin changed in the initial v2.0.14686.0 preview update, its appended challenge was not active, which accounts for why participants were still able to play AP2.5/XGD3 backups. With SU 14692, the previously dormant challenge table has now been activated, and all AP2.5/XGD3 backups containing outdated AP25 replay data will fail the system’s AP2.5 challenges and result in a failure flag. This now means that all LIVE-connected users on both the current 13604 retail dash and 14692 preview dash are faced with the same situation, and needless to say, are still advised to avoid playing any AP2.5/XGD3 backups.

As some of you may be aware, recently Microsoft has begun SILENTLY updating Xbox 360's as they connect to Xbox Live with updated protection for AP25 enabled games. The updated protection is such that it is unique to every console, and at the current time the only known way to circumvent this is to simply stay off Xbox Live. If you have connected to Xbox Live within the past 48 hours then it is likely your console has already been silently updated. If this is the case then you will no longer be able to play AP25 enabled games (please note however that your console will not get flagged thanks to Wasabi's AP25 failure protection).
We would like to stress to everyone - stay off Xbox Live until further notice! Do not sign onto Xbox Live even if your Wasabi 360 Ultra is in pass-through mode. In addition we would like to remind everyone that you should never update your Xbox 360 system software to a version beyond what is officially supported by Wasabi 360 Ultra (which at the current time is 2.0.13604.0). Team Wasabi, along with the rest of the Xbox 360 scene, are working towards a solution to this AP25 "dae.bin" issue and will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Expect an update in the next few days.
It's doubtful that disk profiling data will be available for all the old XGD2/AP25 games at release, shortly after is my guess. All the XGD3 games I have looked at have the same profile and that's done now (there will be more in the future no doubt).
The good news is:
-You only have to profile a disk once
-Tools will be available in the coming weeks that will let you do this yourselves
-AP26 is finally handled correctly (CFW couldn't deal with it correctly either ;) )
