xk3y Firmware 1.30 Released

The xk3y team has a new firmware available for those using their ODDE with their Xbox 360 consoles. It's a minor update that adds a new feature called 'HDKEEPALIVE.' As you may have guessed, this feature keeps the connected hard drive awake by sending activity to it every now and again to keep it spinning. The install / upgrade instructions remain the same:

1. Extract the three files « rootfs », « uImage » & « xkey.cfg »
2. Open xkey.cfg with Notepad and configure it if needed.
   1. Add the three files to the root folder of a Flash Drive or HDD. (Make sure to « eject » the drive properly from the PC, it may otherwise cause corrupt files)
3. Connect the Flash drive or HDD to your xk3y remote and wait for the xk3y to start the update.
   1. The remote OLED will now display « UPDATING – PLEASE WAIT » for about 35 seconds. (Do not turn off your XB360 or disconnect the remote while updating)
4. Once the update is completed, the OLED will display « UPDATE COMPLETE – RESET XBOX » Reboot your xbox and the xk3y should now be updated to the latest firmware.
5. That’s it! Continue to enjoy using xk3y with the new features!

As usual, you can download the new firmware from the xk3y site, if your device is registered. If it is not, you should consider doing so to gain access to the updates or by just downloading it from below.
