Please do not create any additional threads on this matter. Any additional threads will be closed immediately.
A lot of people are posting the same theories and mixing up the emblem with the COD4 one. The COD4 one, which is shown below is obtained through the Spectre IV challenge completion:

THIS IS NOT THE EMBLEM IN QUESTION. The emblem we're trying to unlock is this one:

According to 402, this emblem is obtainable in the game without hacking or modding. Proof of him saying this is shown on his Twitter account as well as the pictures below:

So now that you all know what emblem we're looking for, here are some of the THEORIES that people have thought of and proven to be wrong. Also, no one has obtained this emblem without hacking the game.
THEORIES IN THE TRASH:
Complete all Prestige challenges: FALSE. This is not the way to unlock the emblem and here is YouTube proof of someone completing all of them - [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnM-kZud2QQ"]Complete all Prestige Challenges[/ame] (Start the video at 1:05 to see proof)
Complete all Challenges in the game: FALSE. Even people who use JTAG to get all titles and emblems do not obtain the spinning skull emblem. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=510BC0Tq76k"]Complete all Challenges[/ame]
The game doesn't know the difference between hack and legit.
All Achievements Unlocked: FALSE.
100% Completion on Campaign, Spec Ops , Multiplayer (1100%): FALSE.
YouTube proof for both: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VClFA6kaMak"]Complete all achievements and trophies[/ame]
1000 AC-130 kills: FALSE. Like I said before, that unlocks the COD4 emblem. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnWtFys1fIs"]AC-130 + COD4 Spinning Emblem[/ame]
1000 Nuke kills *Not call in 1000 Nukes*: FALSE. YouTube proof: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMpUTGpG-Gk"]1000+ Nuke Kills[/ame] (Average kills with a nuke is say 6-9 per game. This would take approximately 112 nukes but if you want to be realistic and say 6 kills per game, you would call in about 167 nukes)
X amount of Days/Kills/Wins: FALSE. We have all seen the leaderboards, which is flooded with hackers that have over 100+ days of gameplay, killstreaks, or win streaks. YouTube Proof: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei4d_pWdHHc"]X Amount of Days Played, Kills, Wins[/ame]
Get killed by an AC130 1000 times: FALSE (Thanks to You must login or register to view this content.-Thank him You must login or register to view this content.)
[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJLxTbTuP8]YouTube - 1000 AC130 Deaths[/ame]
Complete all HIDDEN Challenges: Hackers have pretty much found all of the hidden challenges in the game and completed them. The game doesn't consist of many hidden challenges and even if it was a hidden challenge, then modded game lobbies would unlock every challenge despite it being hidden.
So there's the few theories many of us have gone through in order to get this emblem, and thus far, we're pretty much out of luck and ideas. Hackers have looked into the .csv (game codes) to find something that may stand out, and so far the only thing they found is the following:
"level 70 and pr_marksman_ak47_4"
You have to be level 70 to unlock the AK47, unfortunately the Marksmen challenge only goes upto 3 (III), which doesn't help us at all.
It also doesn't have anything to do with any of the DLC content as 402 said that the emblem was obtainable on the PS3 way before the first DLC came out.
Post any new theories you guys have. We're going to find out how to get this emblem!
Also, please refrain from posting theories that have already been proven wrong. We need NEW ones.
Remember the forum rules. For your convenience, I've posted a link to them:

Ok, just to make some things clear.
People saying, you CANT prestige to 10 to unlock the 10th spinning emblem, this is false. When they made the game, they did not think that there would be hacks and prestige hacking, etc. They may have patched it in a patch file, but this would be bypassed with the Patch Blocker or RFOM.
The way to get the Emblem, is a hidden way, but to get to this we must work out how it can be achieved. We have seen people getting all Prestige challenges done, including weapons, and not unlocking the Emblem.
I have tried lots of things in Split Screen, to unlock the Emblem, but no luck.
Now a question which could be relevant is, does the IW server keep track of HOW many times you Prestiged? Say you got to Prestige 1, then straight to 10, then the count would be 2, which it should be 11 (Prestige 10). But will the server have anything to do with the Emblem?.
Now, the way to get this Emblem, if it is Patched is to boost just in RFOM Bypass, which bypass's all Patchs (probably it was Patched).
So we really now need to work out, what could cause Emblem to be unlocked. See thinking logically, the position where the Emblem is, is to complete the "Prestige" only section, as it would make logical sense, because the way it rotates. Same as UAV, etc.
I mean, could it be call in 1000 of EACH killstreak as a hidden challenge? I highly doubt it, but could be plausible.
So, all these theorys about Teddy bears, 1000 nuke kills, etc seem unreliable..
We really need to find out exactly what unlocks this damn emblem.

I have to agree with you but I do not think it has to do with anything DIRECTLY relating to prestige as people have reached 10th legitimately but still no luck obtaining the emblem. Possibly perhaps ONE of the requirements is reaching 10th as the spinning icon matches the 10th symbol so maybe you have to be 10th and do something afterward? Who knows this is like the hardest mystery to solve.
I have an idea for hackers.... Obtain the emblem in a non legit way, and log what game code is CHANGED AFTER you unlock the emblem and compare it to the memory BEFORE you unlocked it. The easiest way would be using the command that only unlocks that so that you are not unlocking a million and one things as that would create an issue and A LOT of data would be changed.
So hack the emblem(and only the emblem & make sure you actually HAVE the emblem!) then take a dump of the memory before the emblem and after you unlock, compare in an editor and trace the refs and data and find out what it is.
Hopefully for this method people know what their doing and also IW devs were not that lazy and labeled their code(all the random crap you see in game dumps/svg's that doesn't relate to commands, just hints) so use that with the data that you FIND different and see what its labeled and bam you have a label with what it is and you can then use that to try and unlock it.
Best of luck.

Today me and jermz were talking and we were thinking that why wont sombody ask tje guy who has it on ps3 for his save data and look in his files for the code and see if they changed it. Also my friend still has it but he hacked when the game came out. So im trying to get it to see what the code is and take the files and try to make a hack for it. Im also trying to get prestige challanges done so im starting a lobby soon so i can get every emblem. If your in quote this post and leave psn in the post.
